In Redfern you’ll find the cutest family owned cafe ever! It’s has such a cozy environment and the atmosphere here is super welcoming! The menu here has both breakfast and lunch items (sweet & Savoury) as well as some amazing drinks! (Like you cannot go past the lotus shake!!!) Lets start off with their chicken Alfredo! This pasta dish is super creamy and flavourful! The bacon and chicken are cooked and seasoned to perfection and the creamy sauce is heavenly 😍 there’s honestly no fault in this dish! Next up is their burger! This is pretty Insane... a charcoal bun filled with juicy beef, pickles and sauce alongside a syringe of American cheese!! 🧀 this burger is packed with flavour and the chips on the side are fried to the perfect crisp! 🍟 the lamb shakshuka was my personal favourite! The beautiful tomato base with tender flavourful lamb and poached egg 🍳 was the most amazing combo ever!! It was served with some pita bread and this was the perfect touch! The shakshuka was seasoned really well and each bite was just a burst of flavour!! Lastly is the matcha hot cakes!! Now if you’re a fan of matcha, you’re going to love this! The hotcake itself was fluffy but crisp on the outside! It had beautiful texture and the addition of the Marscapone cheese with the strong yet sweet matcha was amazing!!

First day back to brunch after covid, try their black pasta with two style of cooking one with the Thai and spicy seafood and The other one with prawn, fish roe and Parmesan on top.
All of their pasta dishes are amazing .
The dessert I order the matcha hot cakes and ricotta one.
The matcha I barely can taste the matcha but the ricotta is good.
The fish and chips is okay.
Nice ambience and good food. Mango and Passionfruit bowl is my fave. Fruit bruschetta toast too.
Order:
1. Gibbons Street Hotcakes
2. Squid and Chorizo Linguini
3. Prawns and Squid Ink Spaghetti
4. Iced Honey Matcha
Ambience of cafe is very comfortable. The cafe is located close to the station and was fairly empty for a Thursday afternoon. Service was lovely and quick.
The hotcakes were delicious. We opted for the normal ones, although they did have a Festive Season option. The Hotcakes remained quite warm even after some time and absorbed the syrup well.
The linguini was fresh and well seasoned. It contained an ample amount of toppings and was moderately spiced. Similarly, the squid ink pasta was rich and went well with its toppings. Although I would reccomend sharing this dish as it was quite rich to continue eating overtime.
The Honey Matcha was quite pleasing for someone who doesnt enjoy matcha. The taste isn't as strong as other matcha drinks, and instead you can taste the honey more. This made for a lovely combination.
Overall, would definitely reccomend this cafe if you are looking for something pleasant in the area.

Gibbons Street Cafe is a short walk from Redfern station and most of its customers are university students. I like the simple decorations and relaxing vibes here. The highlights of the meals are prawn and squid ink spaghetti & linguine one with prawns, calamari and scallops. Italian cuisines fusion with Thai cooking = explosion of flavour. Though pricing is expensive, I’m
willing to pay for good food, especially with fresh seafood.
The pull pork burger is soggy and mediocre tbh. Drinks are good.
Amazing brunch place close to the University of Sydney. Affordable prices for the amount of food. Presentation on point and the wait staff were very attentive. Would go again.
Located across the street from the Redfern train station, you will find this gem - surprisingly modern, unsurprisingly delicious coffee, and inventive dishes made for the gram but also tasty too.
A really nice experience in this delicate cafe. Food and service are so great. linguini is the best,it tastes really nice. I will visit again with friends in the future.
Really enjoyed this cafe. Lovely, clean and modern interior. Food was very tasty and didn't try too hard. Would recommend and can't wait to come back and try other food on the menu!
