It is a quaint little cafe in The Rocks.. quite busy on Sunday afternoons. We had a quick brunch .. the service was good ..
Such a beautiful location to have a meal on a warm sunny day. The chai latte was beautiful. Every dish was beautifully presented. I had the vegan plate which was a little bland but overall I was happy with the meal.
I like this Turkish style cafe. It only has outdoor seating but it’s nice for sunny and warm weekend.
Ordered meneman and added sausage for extra $4. The meneman itself was delicious but I didn’t like the sausage. The Turkish bread was tasty. Coffee was good too. I also ordered almond coconut cake and coconut cake with raspberry jam. The one with jam was better. The almond coconut was a little watery.
The staff was friendly but the service was slow.
My brief experience at DARE was delightful and one which I would enjoy again. DARE, which stands for 'Delicious and Responsible Eating', is a small friendly cafe which was just next to the markets that operate at The Rocks on Friday mornings. This is a gluten free haven where coeliacs can enjoy options which we usually aren't able to - think banana pancakes and loads of raw desserts! I had a slice of the gluten free banana bread which was served with fresh fruit salad. It was toasted, warm and quite moist, however could have done with a touch more sweetness to make it just that much more delicious. I paired my banana bread with a vanilla chai latte, served in an unusual but welcomed tall glass and fragrant rose petals. Wish I could have tried more gf options here in my short stay in Sydney!
Great little cafe at the rocks, food tasted wonderful and full of flavour (I had the Menemen, Turkish style scrambled eggs with bread). Only small downside was that the food went cold very quickly, and my smoothie was a bit too yoghurty.
Partner had the gluten free banana bread and said that was wonderful too!
Really nice place with a variety of different foods! Delicious food and drinks! Great location and very friendly staff. Would recommend this place for brunch with some friends!
Very cute and yum, good for brunch! Went with family and thought it was super sweet with vegan pancakes and cute drinks that come in mason jars. Will happily visit again sometime.
Great brekkie here after the Blackmores Bridge Run. Food was delicious and up to standards even though they were quite busy. Double bacon and egg roll was so yummy, a friend of mine got the vegan board which looked amazing. Will definitely be back
Went there and got all four salads and one bowl and it was perfect and amazing! My friend is vegan and gluten free and they had plenty of options for her as well.
Great location for a pit stop in the Rocks. I had the gluten free pide which felt like a real treat. The side salad was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and quick enough.
Mixed Kebab was really good, and also big in portion. Their curry is highly recommended too. They have a cafe right next door, the coffee is good too. Friendly staff, great location!
Great fresh food and coffee! Had a delicious baked potato with a beautiful fresh salad. Great setting and friendly staff with quick service. Will be back !
My Favourite. Absolutely love this place, I go every time I'm in the city.
Food is yummy and the staff are so lovely :)
We had a great time at DARE , awesome food and great people , no idea about those bad reviews. I guess people had bad mornings. But I will definitely go back with My family.....
Great food and juice!. Had a lovely lunch at Dare today. We used a Groupon, I had a fantastic kebab and the juice was very fresh and healthy.
The manager on was very helpful and accommodating - no issues at all.
Will definitely be back - great place to relax in the hustle of the rocks!
Happy Regular. As a regular customer to this café, I just want to commend them on the deliciously fresh food and friendly welcome I receive when I visit. Working in the city it's not always easy to find healthy options for lunch but they deliver. Keep up the good job guys there are people out there who appreciate what you're doing.
Above and beyond. We arrived in Sydney on a wet and rainy morning. Saw this café and ordered a muffin. As weary travelers we just needed a place to stay dry and rest till we could check into our hotel. But these people welcomed us in and went out of their way to help us. After phoning the hotel for us and not getting any response, they actually drove us to the hotel with all our luggage. Thank you so much, you made the start of our stay in Sydney so much more enjoyable.
The food is fantastic and freshly made. The cutlery is biodegradable cornstarch + not plastic + the prices are lower than most in the rocks. Great service .. Great coffee.. Amazing fresh healthy mostly gluten free food.
Fantastic, I eat here regularly!. I LOVE Dare! I stumbled across this cafe on my weekly art class lunch break, and I literally look forward to going back each week! I am honestly surprised at some of the other reviews? The food is super fresh, and the salads are varied and with a large range of options. I love that they also have 'almond milk' (along with soy) as an option for coffees. The staff are always friendly and quick, and I can highly recommend this cafe for any raw foodies, gluten free types. I have never had a bad experience and can only speak highly of this cafe. There should be more of them around Sydney! Love!
Love the gluten free options, especially the pancakes.. My favourite! I often come in just for the salads. Love everything on the menu! Freshly squeezed juices with a muffin to go is the quick Pitt stop. Thanks Dare for amazing food
Great food, service, menu choice and pricing. Fantastic gluten free, healthy food. We had the breakfasts - interestingly enough served on biodegradable plates with cutlery that looked liked plastic but we were advised they are cornstarch, as there is no plastic in the shop!
breakfast was delicious - had the vegetarian breakfast and the big breakfast.
The gluten free chocolate brownie was delicious and the coffee - (Toby's Estate) very good.
Defintiely a good choice and lots of gluten free food
Perfect healthy breakfast place located off Argyle street in the rocks. Excellent coffee. Lots of healthy delicious selections including vegan dishes, fresh smoked salmon, free range eggs, quinoa, chicken and avocado, pear and sweet potato salads. Home made banana and pumpkin breads. Fresh fruit smoothies and salads as well.
Opens at 6am.
This is a favour haunt of mine when visiting Sydney. Located in the Rocks is great for breakfast and lunch. Why not give it a try when visiting the weekly market. Lots of #vegan options for me. Food is extremely tasty and very well presented.
I had eaten at Dare in the past & was so pleased we visited again. It is absolutely wonderful to find a cafe that caters for gluten free. I enjoyed banana pancakes & purchased pumpkin bread to take home. Everyone enjoyed their food. The only downside was as a party of 9 travelling from outside of Sydney, we made a booking about a week before our visit, however when we arrived the staff had to scramble around to find enough tables & chairs for us & we had to wait for our "pre-booked" table.
However the food & coffee were worth the wait.

Was able to get an amazingly huge feed for breakfast from this cafe. Scrambled eggs were fluffy and delicious. You could've easily shared this and had another item on the menu.
Coffee was great. Juice helped cut through the richness of the colossal breakfast.
This place is so quaint and ephemeral. The mood was light and perfect for an easy going midday brunch. Highly recommend 🥰
Reasonable prices. Delicious. As in almost every place you have free water. The hummus kebab is incredibly tasty, the veggie hummus plate is amazing. The peach iced tea tastes like flowers (L).
This café is located in the rocky area. It is delicious and many people are waiting in line. I love the decoration and decoration of this coffee shop. The price is not too expensive. Latte is good.
Amazing gluten free pancakes!! Loved every bite! Coffee and service is fantastic too.
