We have walked past this place countless of time but have never managed to try it out (though we have been wanting to). Finally managed to do so this morning. A nice cafe with a decent banana bread. The coffee is fantastic, can't fault Toby's estate I guess. The service was good.
This is my second dining room. The food here is always high quality and varied. I particularly like the dinners. Spaghetti Bolognese is always superb and great value. Most recently I had the gnocchi with lamb ragu. Superb!
What a find! Great cakes & coffee, and yummy brunches. If you're with someone else, try sharing the eggs benedict with pulled pork and then a slice of carrot cake. The portions are still quite ample when shared & I've found it's a cool way to have a great shared brunch!
The best coffee, super fresh and healthy food, and genuine homely service. Wilson the owner bakes fresh pastries every day and his delicious food never disappoints with plenty of choice on the menu and the specials board always changing. John and Stevie have been making the best coffee here for years and serving customers with their big hearts and sense of community. This is no ordinary cafe, it's a home away from home for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Love this place. Wheelchair accessible delicious food always and such lovely staff!
Always has been a great place to casually dine for brunch or lunch.
Has had a few names, Bullpen, Candy Cafe and more recently Gentle Breeze Cafe. Personally I preferred Bullpen as the name. But since new owner Wilson has taken over, the food has elevated even more.
Always it’s been a great place to catch up over coffee or brunch etc with our locals and visitors to Waterloo/Redfern
Well worth a visit and say a big “Hi” to the always effervescent Steve ;)
Very much a regular here on weekends with my mates :)
I love this local, walk by several times a week to get coffee and a croissant and am always met with a friendly chat. Croissants are sensational fresh in the morning!
