You might think Surry Hills and Marrickville are the go to spots for a good cafe, but we also recommend checking out their neighbours in Redfern because there’s plenty of quality spots hidden amongst the backstreets. Calico is one of these. They also don’t have a prolifically posted Instagram which is a bit of a shame since their amazing food warrants more publicity. It’s good that we’d heard about this via word of mouth.
Really great coffee, great food. The staff are really friendly and the prices are good for the area. They also have student discounts. They have outdoor and indoor seating in a relaxing environment. Good to sit and study or work on your laptop. Grab a great coffee and sit down and relax.
This is a fantastic little spot mixing Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours. Everything we had was excellent: pizza base was spot on, as was the topping, creamy chicken pasta was absolutely delicious, and steak manoush was a fun and different way to serve manoush. And everything topped with generous lashings of cheese. Knafeh was also really good, but could've done with a bit more rose water syrup. Otherwise, food, service and vibe were perfect for a Sunday brunch. Highly recommend!
