This is quite literally the only good cafe I have found in Sydney - Melbourne quality food and coffee!
The only downside was the angry drivers we had to deal with to get there �
Excellent breakfast and lunch restaurant. My wife and I ate here twice during our brief stay in Paddington. We enjoyed sharing the roasted lamb sandwich, baked eggs, and ricotta pancakes. Everything was delicious (including the coffee and fresh "daily juice"). The service is impeccable too.
Wonderful food and coffee, lovely staff, and seriously the best scrambled eggs EVER!!
The food is absolutely beautiful. Fresh and full of love. I loved it, will be back all the time. Thanks again

Best hot choc in Australia! Love it!
Usually get takeaway coffee and HLAT - both are good! Have dined in a few times... gets quite crowded on weekends so be prepared to wait but not for too long. Hair and clothes might smell of cooking after though.
Small and not exactly the most pram-friendly place in Paddo, but I'd happily leave the kids outside by the fence with my pooch while I devour a ham and cheese baguette any-day of the week. This place is a must!
best food! and lovely staff.. an all time fave! the scrambled eggs are literally the best in sydney, and wonderful juices too. green bowl is magic too!
This place is heaven. Always bustling and once you start eating you can see why. I had the ham & cheese toasted baguette and it's probably the best I've ever eaten in my entire life. Seriously- you must try this. I'm told the lamb version is also excellent. Whilst I don't doubt this information, I'll need to go back to see for myself.
Coffee was extra hot as requested and was made to perfection. Well done Flat White, I've found my new local!
I was visiting from canberra and this cafe was in walking distance so I dropped by to get a coffee. I can't remember the price but it was average. I ordered and virtually as I settled into a chair my coffee was ready. I didn't expect much as you will usually wait 5-10 min for a decent coffee in Canberra and a short time for a mediocre one. I am not exaggerating when I say this but it was the best coffee I have ever had. Since this time I have been in search for a coffee place that is up to par in my city. I am visiting Sydney in the next few days and am excited to return to this cafe!
My first time visit after a coffee recommendation by @flaxy. Such a popular place. Very much enjoyed my Cappuccino ($3.80) using a custom house blend apparently roasted somewhere in QLD. Good flavour and strength. Sort of reminded me of Allpress coffee flavour profile which I'm a fan of. Spotted some freshly baked Mixed Berry, Apple, Coconut & Nut Muffin ($4) on the counter. Moist and yummy as hoped filled with lots of fruit. Babyccino ($1) for Miss 1 year old came as all milk but sealed with a lid in a paper cup and a straw which keeps it pretty safe if dropped and she actually did drop it at one point and it only made a small mess spill. Bacon & Egg Roll ($9.50) comes with bacon, fried eggs, homemade aioli, tomato relish and rocket on a toasted panini. Pretty decent size and tasty. Nice roll. An easy one to enjoy as take away. There's stools outside for casual eating with your dog and more tables inside if you're lucky to get one. Service is efficient and switched-on. Quite friendly when under the pressure when busy. I've found parking in the area very limited and a challenge to find so good luck.
The French toast was splendid, it's nothing I've ever tried before. However as a "coffee bible listed" cafe, the quality of latte was so disappointing...
Small , cosy cafe. Pancakes and French toast are a must !!! Service was lovely and coffee was amazing. Always a good experience and will keep going back for more 😀
Ah Sydney... You may have a laughable public transport network, your property prices might be so high that only investment bankers and Chinese millionaires can afford to buy and half your drivers are maniacs, but no one does cafes like you (err... except maybe Melbourne). . Deep within leafy well-heeled Woollahra on Holdsworth Street sits Flat White; opposite the legendary Lord Dudley and in between the pretty terrace houses.
Love this place! Come here for breakfast or lunch. For breaky my go to is the Bircher muesli or the omelette, for lunch I love the pumpkin salad topped with grilled chicken and Harissa sauce. Chris there is just amazing and remembers what coffee you want to brings it the moment you sit down. If you're in the neighbourhood, make a visit.
Great coffee, food and service. Always feels very homely and comforting when you walk in.. If you haven't tried their pancakes you're missing out!
Be prepared to wait a bit for a table on the weekends. We had the Buttermilk Pancakes which were fluffy and delicious...and the Spanish Eggs which come with amazing Chorizo.
It’s always busy. I’d hate for it to get any more popular. But keeping such a gem to myself just feels too selfish.
This is the best cafe! They do the best scrambled eggs in Sydney, and they always have the yummiest specials. The staff are super lovely too, and we love how they know our names and coffee preferences. Our fav place!!
Excellent food, average service and coffee. If you're after an amazing french toast then this is the best in Sydney. Each time I go here the food is very good. The location is great and parking is never a problem even on a busy weekend. Unfortunately though the coffee is quite average in contrast to their food. A skim latte is enormous with far too much milk and a very large glass. The service has certainly deteriorated over the years of coming here. The second last time I was there one of the waiters was so rude to me that I didn't return for 6 months out of principal.
Overall I do like Flat White but only due to their excellent food but find that there are many other places that offer the full package nearby - great food, great coffee and amazing service.
Busy cafe. My friend and I came here for breakfast on a Monday and it was quite busy. After reading about their bad service, I was thinking of going elsewhere but glad I didn't as the staff who looked after us was friendly and when I asked for the biggest apple and berry muffin on the counter, he did just that. My friend enjoyed her omelette which was massive and I enjoyed my latte while my friend thought it was a bit weak.
I have seen the queues during the weekend, so ill probably stick to coming here during the week to avoid the crowd.
It is hard to fault this little cafe, good food, good coffee and fast. I eat here at least once a week and I am happy to call this my local. Great work guys!!!
Yummy food and attentive as possible service. They are really busy, but food comes out fast.
Not such a well kept secret - always busy! But if you are taking a sick day from work on a weekday and are willing to spend $25 pp for breaky and a drink, do not look past the buttermilk pancakes - heaven on a plate
Well kept secret. It's a busy place for breakfast on the weekends, but that's mainly because of one thing: the pork sandwich. Nevermind that you don't really fancy pork, this is one dish you have to try! It has recently, finally(!) graduated from the specials board to the menu proper, and for good reason - it's a taste sensation!
Walked in with my boss Jenni from work.
who is a sweet friend we dropped 5he orders off and was offered a free coffee. So thankyou to the dear owner of flat white.., your business is our business,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As soon as you walk in here.. the aroma! Delicious bacon and egg rolls and well made coffee. Very busy, not ideal for those with kids (me) but perfect for a catch up with friends. Plenty of friendly staff.
Nice cafe right on the beach. Walked in with 6 at lunch and were seated right away. Lovely staff and good food. Bathrooms are clean. Will be back to try their coffee and sweets.
Super friendly relaxed vibe with incredibly delicious tasty food! The Swiss Cheese and Leg Ham toastie reminds me of the saying “Sweet dreams are made of cheese” They actually do an extra layer of cheese on the outside of the bread! Quality produce and attention to detail! Banana bread and coffee is also best I’ve had in this area! Could become my favourite local!
Superbly set up for covid, lovely lady took my order, blooming DELICIOUS coffee and possibly the best green bowl I have had in my life and I’ve had them all! Big kudos. Xx
They forgot the ham in my cheese, tomato and ham omelette, but replaced it with delicious prosciutto :) they did curdle the milk in my coffee, but replaced it with a non-curdled delicious coffee! Nice waitstaff and service, I like the vibe and open bench top, facing outside!
Great atmosphere, tasty food and fast service. Can recommend the chorizo and potato baked eggs and ricotta hotcakes. Also a good option for a quick coffee
