Absolutely fantastic food and coffee ... We must remain patient at busy times BECAUSE the wait is well worth it come the food simply scrumptious .....
I’m usually for trying different dishes when I go to restaurants and cafes. As they often say, variety is the spice of life! However, there are some places where I return to the same favourite meal every time. For me, one of those places is the local café Simmone Logue at Double Bay. They do one of my favourite breakfast dishes ever - the Grilled Field Mushrooms . I substitute avocado for the feta that comes standard with it and it turns into the most wondrous of flavour combinations. The odd time that I have ordered something else, I have sat there wishing I had ordered my beloved grilled mushrooms. Although I order the same items off the menu each time, it is lovely to see the different interpretations taken by whoever is cooking. I like going to places where your dish will be one of a kind rather than one of many that looks like it is precision-tested off a production line. Sometimes my plate will have slices of avocado on the side and others it will be spread on the toast. Sometime

Popping into Simmone Logue Double Bay for a Devonshire Tea ($12/person) last month reminded me of how useful her freshly made dinner options are, particularly back when I was living alone and time poor. While I was tucking into fluffy golden scones with house-made preserves and cream, most visitors to the store were loading up on takeaway dinner, from hearty serves of chunky split pea and ham soup, to Vietnamese chicken pho to rich beef bourguignon. You can also head down to the wide, leafy tree-lined streets of Double Bay for a Sunday Roast ($27.50/person) until the end of August. After admiring their counter of sweet stuff, I’d suggest you throw in a traditional pudding like sticky date, bread and butter, or apple crumble ($5.50/person) to make the most of your Sunday away from the washing up! By the way, this popular café has both indoor, as well as outdoor (dog-friendly) seating. Simmone Logue 2 Cross Street, Double Bay Ph: (02) 9327 5700
Whilst we just popped in for a sweet treat, I can tell you the banana cupcakes with passion fruit cream cheese icing are to die for. And the Victoria sponge cake was the best I've had since being in London 4 years ago. The serving sizes were small but very satisfying and left you not feeling piggy!!
Delicious in Double Bay. Cute little cafe with the most amazing food. Have not been disappointed yet. Too bad its in Double Bay and everything is super expensive.
Cafe Combined Florest?. I have heard all about Simmone Logue and well aware of their reputation. The food was quality for sure, their coffee was good but not great for double bay.
They could do with wait staff that knows how to handle a busy cafe as they can never seam to handle their peek times and leave a lot of customers forgotten.
The cafe itself was very cute, I must say I loved their outside seating and the awnings above gave a great feel. The location itself is typical double bay dining, quiet enough to enjoy but not too surburbia.
A helpful tip Simmone Logue, do not leave old flowers next to the prepared food, and if they are fresh perhaps some insect repellent? A cafe isn't a florest nor is it the wetlands for every bug/insect to thrive in.
I will return for sure, however I'm contemplating on whether to bring some Mortein insect spray.
My favourite cafe and caterer!! We went through Simmone Logue Catering for a recent event. Rachel Northey was lovely to communicate with! She also organised our (rather complicated!) order with ease and efficiency. The food was fabulously fresh and it was also very well-presented. The Victoria Sponge Cake, with Strawberries and Cream, was a HUGE hit and really enjoyed by all. We highly recommend Simmone Logue for fresh catering (and for tasty coffee in Double Bay as well)! Many thanks, Alice & Matthew Butler (Woollahra)
Thought I would take Mothers day to my Mum rather than taking her out. Made a selection from what was on offer in Simones Double Bay shop. Wonderfully delicious, beautifully prepared food. Needless to say Mum was impressed! Thanks Simone!
Great food. But weird snobby service. Have to keep on coming back fro the great food.
Not a sigle dish is below a Simmone Logue quality standard.
However, staff give you the most bizzare and wierd service, often can seem rude and errogant, however, as mentioned above the food is fantastic.
When I die I will become a saint. :)
