Southend Cafe - Erskineville

The restaurant serves great food with friendly service and plays a variety of popular music, from Led Zeppelin to Prince, consistently.

The coffee's not bad hot, rich and creamy and it's a pretty cheap cafe but there's nothing to distinguish it. They dress up very basic food on multiple cute plates but it's the same sort of breakfast food you get at a cheap...diner. Good place for coffee though.

We had a lovely lunch here. The quality was brilliant, the servings generous and staff warm and friendly. The lounge seating needs replacing but adequate. Go no further!

This cafe makes a great scrambled egg and spinach breakfast at a good price. The service is a spotty and the coffee so so. Last time I was there i ordered a soy capuccino and they gave me a late. Another time I ordered the...breakfast scrambled egg and it arrived in a takeaway container.

When there are no seats left out front (I like to leave those for the puppy people <3) the dining room inside is just like pulling up a chair in a worn but comfy dining room. Servings are generous and the pea haloumi pancakes...are my go-to. They're huge, and thankfully a half-serve is also available. We often bring friends here for a taste of cheery casual Newtown hospitality.
