From the moment we went there we felt welcomed. Got a table outside within few mins. Asked for a baby chair it was set up immediately. The staff we very friendly and our baby boy also got on well with the staff. Great breakfast menu, good prices. The order was taken promptly. Great coffee to start with. The food was great quality and yum. Mushroom on toast with grilled tomatoes n crushed avacados. Also ordered a yummy milkshake. Not just the food, the ambience is perfect by the rocks. Ideal place to have brekky between harbour and the rocks. Well done guys we will come back and recommend everyone to try!
We have been to Sydney many times as we are from Melbourne and I would highly recommend this cafe we had breakfast here which was delicious plenty on plate for what you pay and the most important too was the staff were amazingly freindly and greeted you very nicely I would highly recommend it and go back again when in Sydney
Soup of the Day: 😍 Amazing
Steak Sandwich : 😁 Great
Omelette : 😁 Great
Coffee : 😍 Amazing
Great cafe with an awesome old school vibe. Service was great and food was fantastic. The Soup of the Day was a potato, pea and basil soup. It was absolutely delicious and perfect to have on a rainy day. The omelette was also good. It had the saltiness from the ham and a slight sweetness from the tomatoes which paired well with the toasted bread. The steak Sandwich was really good too. The steak wasn’t chewy and the bread was nice and rustic. The chips on the side were super crispy that no one could resist but have one. Coffee was strong and creamy. Would definitely come again.
I had crocodile burgers for the first time in my life. Easy to eat, taste like chicken. Good experience.
We were seated upstairs and it was great. Service was excellent. Food was very good. The vegetarian burger was fab. Fettuccine bolognese was excellent. Upstairs was quiet and pleasant. Good value.
I ate brunch here on a recent trip to Sydney. Both the food and service were excellent and I thought the value was good. I ate outside. It is an attractive neighborhood of stores. My only advice is if you're going to eat outside, make sure you sit under an umbrella. It was hot the day I was there.
This place holds a special place in my heart for personal reasons, it is cute like a button and has comfortable booths you can snug in for hours with a beautiful Italian coffee and lovely retro feel. I love the cakes there, particularly the lemon meringue tart which is storeys high (who can say no to this ! ). A bit on the pricey side but open till late in charming surroundings.
The Rocks Cafe is an amazing combination of Amazing Italian food, friendly staff and reasonably priced Comfort food at a great location. Just do what the street from the Opera House, there is outside seating. We had the Fish & Chips, King prawn & chorizo risotto, Napolitano Spaghetti and Chicken & Mushrooms with spaghetti. Every dish was delicious and so fresh.
We had the cheesecake of the day with a serve of vanilla ice cream and 3 home made lemon and mint iced tea. Highly recommend the tea as it was really refreshing. The vanilla ice cream was rich in texture and was packed with vanilla beans which was visible. The cheesecake itself was nice, creamy and smooth but it was a bit too eggy for my liking. Although it is pricy, ~$35 for small portions, it was worth it due to the great customer service, location and ambience.
Great food, well prepared and served with a friendly smile from our waitress. A welcome change from the overpriced Sydney restaurants providing mediocre food.
Whilst visiting from interstate we dined here on Saturday morning for breakfast before heading to The Rocks market. I enjoyed the ham & cheese croissant and hubby enjoyed avocado on toast. Both meals were tasty and our female server was very friendly and welcoming. We sat outside which was nice. A great little place for breakfast.
Great experience from what I've had. My female server was an absolute delight, she was extremely open and friendly which made me feel very welcomed. The cakes are lovely, go for the tiramisu. LOVE the Homemade lemon&mint ice tea, do recommend that.
Was after a late breakfast and this place serves breakfast until 11:30am. With a 4.4 star rating it was worth a visit to sample their breakfast burger and banana bread.
Totally lived up to the reputation and only draw back was the waiter took 15 minutes to take my order as he went to another table that arrived after me but an apology was given.
Nice atmosphere and great food. I like the layout and design.
We were there about 9am on Sunday. It was almost full.
The food tasted great but slightly small portion.
The rocks cafe is a nice eatery along a busy part of George st.
There are a few seating options to choose from depending on availability. The outside area is nice, but make sure you get a table underneath an umbrella if it is a sunny day. The other dining areas are inside on the main floor, and upstairs. The upstairs area is much more quiet than on the street level and is a good place to enjoy your meal if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of George st.
The food is good. I go for the steak sandwich with caramalised onion. While the food is delicious and presented well, the portion size is a little on the small side considering the cost.
The servers are friendly and provide no frills, efficient service.
Great location, beautiful coffee, average to decent food, surrounded by great atmosphere. Always love the rocks and its beautiful culture. Awesome Christmas decorations for everyone to explore once you are done with your breakfast/lunch. Staff are friendly and when sitting outside make sure you pick a table under the umbrella as it can get quite hot under the sun. Recommended for all.
The Rocks Cafe, Constructed in 1867. Crispy Pastry Chicken Pie with Chips.
Fusion of European and Modern Australian cuisine, using the freshest local produce. Love the deco, nice and cosy cafe! Coffee not so great.
One of the few places that we kept coming back to for breakfast while we were in Sydney, as their food was just soo good!
On our first visit, we ordered the following:
- Grilled Halloumi (Grilled halloumi cheese, soft poached eggs, roasted tomato, harissa, rocket leaves served with grilled za’atar bread).
- Salmon Royale (Soft poached eggs, wilted spinach, baby capers, Tasmanian smoked salmon & hollandaise sauce on Sourdough).
Both were perfectly cooked, served quickly and in the right temperate.
I highly recommend it.
Been here a few times for breakfast now, the food and service has been great both times so we’ll definitely be back again.
