I keep going back because the food is so good. Tony and Mary are great hosts and the staff is so friendly. New winter menu is on - check out the sweet potato waffles and apple&fennel pork sausage. �
Amazing Food & Coffee. Atmosphere on point � A little hidden gem, Love it!
I'm a 'repeat offender' at Left Bower, a quirky, vintage style coffee shop. The reason is simple: amazingly tasty, honest food made from locally sourced organic produce, yummy home-made cakes, great tasting hot bevies (love their coffee!) and smoothies & juices made to order, all served up by cordial & welcoming staff. What a gem in the Sutherland Shire!
Absolutely amazing coffee maybe even the best I have ever tried. The boys who run the place are really lovely too. I always make a point of dropping in when I am close by even though I no longer live in the area.
This is my go to place when I visit my mum in Sutherland .. Love the music, the wholesome food and the general quirky vibe .. Thank you x
Looking for excellent hearty food with a twist along with a vintage atmosphere and great service then this place in Sutherland is the shires best kept secret. Thanks for our Mothers Day breakie we will be back to try lunch and those yummy cakes and oh the coffee is spot on!
Oh my goodness the French toast is to die for! The best I have ever tasted. Great friendly staff , love the fact that nothing matches, the plates remind me of what my mum used back in the day! 10/10
Great coffee, friendly accommodating staff and the best mushrooms on toast going around.
Best place in the Shire for a breaky, such well constructed dishes, the combination of tastes are fantastic
We were taken here by friends from Sydney, a nice hole in the wall cafe. Anita's porridge is the best porridge I've ever eaten! So creamy and so flavoursome. Perfect balance between sweet and savory. All my friends had a taste of it as well and all agree how delicious it is. Thank you for the great food and friendly service. We'll be back for more one day!
Popped in this morning for breakfast with a girlfriend and loved it! Beautiful fresh food, generous portion size and beautiful coffee. The staff were all lovely also. Looking forward to coming back �
Love this Cafe. Nothing like it. Delicious food. Divine coffee and all the staff are soo friendly. A must try place.
The most surprising find in Sutherland. Great service in an old style atmosphere that will transport you into the 1980s. The scrambled eggs are to die for, so you know it’s loaded with butter and cream - but it’s okay. Will be back!
Left Bower in Sutherland, a quirky café offering great coffee, home baked cakes, breakfast and lunch. Besides great coffee you will find freshly squeezed juices and good old fashioned creamy milkshakes. On approach, your mind automatically triggers that you are looking at something familiar. It’s not just the outside of a café. It’s subtle at first, you notice the smooth aluminium siding. Then the painted decorative retro orange design.
Cosy little cafe with a mismatch collection of plates, cutlery and more. Friendly service and they were efficient on the food.
Not an extensive menu, but a variety of choices to have something suitable. The flavours in the BLAT were excellent. They absolutely nailed it. Would have had another!
The coffee is great too, just really small serves.
The only let down for me is that it's an open kitchen within the cafe. So it's noisy. Mixed with the chatting of the patrons, it can be difficult to hear. And the place gets busy!
I would go for the food and coffee again, though. Yes!
Great food and attentive service, if only a tad expensive for cafe-styled meals. I had the salmon with bread & salad, the first item on the menu.
Delicious start to the morning and friendly staff! We were driving down to Wollongong from Sydney and randomly found this place on Google. Great taste and presentation.
Great food, great coffee, incredibly friendly service.
So consistent it begins to feel a lot like home.
Seasonal menus provide variety and great special options for when you feel like mixing it up. The classic menu options are also great.
Recommend for both takeaway coffee and a whole dine in experience !
Nice little coffee shop near Sutherland station. Friendly and helpful staff. Today I ordered the bacon and eggs which was quite tasty with the side of avocado.
Amazing food, friendly and accomodating staff that are always happy to help out substitute menu items. Quirky and a true gem and favorite :)
Fantastic little cafe right next to Sutherland Station. I got the bacon and egg roll with tomato relish ($10) and soy chai latte ($5). The bacon and egg roll was well made with the bacon having a smoked taste, and presented with some leafy rocket leaves and a small amount of rocket puree. The chai blend is made onsite and came served in an antique rustic teapot with a cup and saucer - highly recommend!!! The food was delightful and the interior very funky, quirky being a mix of 60s (?) Relics with the chairs, tables, hipster favric coverings all fitting in with the theme. Friendly service too. I would definitely recommend a visit for a hip trip down memory lane!!

Stumbled in to Left Bower with friends for breakfast one morning in Sutherland. From the outside it doesn't look much, but inside it's full of quirky charm. Our dishes were priced reasonably, and tasted quite average. It is inclose proximity to the station, and is in a nice location, and likelihood is we probably won't return if in the area again.
Fabulous service, great food, friendly employees! Would recommend the Left Bower to people that like healthy but filling meals. They also do a great coffee. Amazing chocolate milkshakes and I always go for the Harry's Famous Scrambled Eggs for around $15. Large meal and worth dining in. I usually go here for breakfast, and is mildly busy. They change the menu according to season currently it is the Summer menu and it is amazing!! - TF
Came here a few months ago for breakfast and the coffee was quite memorable. Originally ordered a sandwich to share but I remember it was too good that we decided to order something else on the menu. I enjoyed the interior vintage ish setting as well. Very humble yet enjoyable cafe. Staff were friendly too.
Last weekend I caught up with my friend Natalie (check out her holistic nutrition website) to talk about life, placement, diet experiments and her latest exciting project: The Holistic Nutritionists podcast. I was meant to go to her neck of the woods (Cronulla), which I was excited about given the vast array of healthy cafes down there, but there were trackworks going on. Instead, I got off the train in Sutherland and we had brunch in a nearby cafe which is apparently popular among local cyclists.
Have eaten here a number of times for breaky, not too bad just wish the menu was simpler. Unfortunately not a lot of room to sit inside but the chai tea is amazing! Nice to pop in and have a bite to eat.

This is the first time I've travelled this far out. I was originally here to meet a friend just after lunch only to find that they were starting to close up for the day. Since I had a while to wait, I decided to have a quick coffee and cake.
All the variety of cakes and other sweets on display was just drool worthy. I decided on the orange & pistachio cake which was amazing!!
The staff was so friendly at the cafe. I would love to visit again for a proper meal next time. I keep hearing from my friend who lives in the area that Left Bower is great for lunch!
Great relaxed place to go for a coffee and breakfast or brunch. Limited menu but food is very good and from local sources. New management with a friendly hands on approach. Would certainly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food, coffee and people. The staff is so friendly and you can actually talk to the chef who is so lovely. Highly recommend
Great coffee, home made treats, local produce and amazing decor. This family run cafe is a welcomed treat to Sutherland. Super cute decor make it feel like you're on a visit to your grandmas!
Best food, service and coffee! My favourite cafe in the Shire by far. Love their passion for real food. Kids love their pumpkin spiced waffles. Highly recommend Left Bower
Love the coffee but wish they had a larger takeaway. Also wished they used skim milk rather than lite.
Fresh, delicious food!. I eat breakfast or lunch at the Left Bower several times a week and am never disappointed. The food is always fresh, beautifully cooked and presented well. Best coffee in Sydney! The staff there are exceptional, friendly and efficient and always prepared to go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable. Love the ambience. Highly recommended!
Fabulous. Varied menu and tasty food.
Good coffee, substantial fruit toast , wholemeal, delicious, but the 2 coffees we ordered came out at different times. We ordered a second round and again had to wait for the second coffee. Fix this and you've got a decent breakfast experience.
Beautiful food and a very trendy atmosphere. It's cheap and I'd definitely recommend this Cafe.

I'm passionate about good coffee and so are the team here. Couldn't fault the espresso, batch brew and long black. This will become a regular place for me.
Update 18/2/22 still coming here despite now living 2 suburbs away and still amazing coffee
They are premium priced but it’s a great product and service, quick as for a blend or hot choc but their large is more like medium in my opinion!!! For $5 u should get a nip of Bounty!!!!
Great coffee every day. I have barely missed a day since it opened. Friendly service and great people.
We were shopping in Sutherland for business and the delicious aroma of coffee emanating from this gorgeous cafe called to us. We enjoyed our coffee break here. Warm, friendly and efficient customer service. Next time we will stop for a bite to eat.
Ordered some gorgeous Acme cups from White Horse and I am SO impressed with the customer service and delivery. Everything was packaged incredibly well and very safe. When I ordered the wrong saucers they corrected this for me free of charge, and threw in some of their delicious coffee. I will definitely be purchasing some more cups from their online store, as well as their amazing coffee. How online shopping should be!
You can always count on the Whitehorse baristas to serve you amazing strong coffee. Just the way I love my Flat White.
Friendly staff and consistent quality. They have a few baristas and it surprises me how they maintain consistent quality no matter who is making your coffee.
Thank you Whitehorse, you make my day, every day :) Top notch!!
