Dare - The Rocks

This very unassuming looking cafe in the heart of the Rocks visitors area was a surprise I must say. Despite the functional appearance and an expectation of overpriced and unremarkable food (aka "for the tourists") I had a very tasty Turkish version of scrambled eggs. This was a lightly seasoned tomato based dish which could be added to to taste with the side of chilli flakes. I added the Turkish sausage also which although similar to chorizo, was less oily. Nice to find something a little different on a breakfast menu and this was a pleasant surprise. Coffee was a complete miss. I wouldn't rush back but at 7:30am when its cool and quiet, maybe I got the timing right and it was ok.

Went there and got all four salads and one bowl and it was perfect and amazing! My friend is vegan and gluten free and they had plenty of options for her as well.

Food reasonable but at $6 for every add-on with your breakfast, a little pricey. Service dreadful. Nice waitress but she got part of the order wrong. Extremely disorganised when we tried to pay. Could have just walked off without paying if we'd wanted to. I don"t think they would even have noticed. Very rude woman in charge. Won't be going back.

Great location for a pit stop in the Rocks. I had the gluten free pide which felt like a real treat. The side salad was delicious and fresh. Service was friendly and quick enough.

This café has a great location, funky decor, and good local ingredients. Unfortunately, that experience was spoiled by poor customer service. When we found a course, black hair wedged in the food (after only a couple of mouthfuls), the waitress was initially stumped for words. After picking it out with her fingers and telling us it was the fault of a local provider, she offered to have a new plate cooked for us. Neither of us felt hungry anymore, so politely declined. She gave us 1 cup of complimentary black coffee (between the two of us) as a substitute. Clearly there was a communication issue inside, because when we got up to pay, the cashier charged us full price for everything, and wouldn't offer a discount until the original waitress came back and confirmed. After a few minutes of very awkward waiting, and feeling like an inconvenience at the counter, the waitress showed up, made us wait while she typed an angry text message (to the person she believed was to blame), and then offered a few dollars off the $40 bill. Having eaten so little of the actual meal, this felt a little stingy, but by this point I just wanted to leave and end the awkwardness. Their facial expressions suggested they were glad to get rid of us, too.
