Dymocks Cafe

This cafe is such a gem find in the middle of Sydney CBD!! Nicely located upstairs from the beautiful Dymocks bookshop building, this cafe is a cozy, warm and lovely place for some food or simply just a coffee and scones! Great variety on the menu, fair prices, good portions and coffee was great, too. Definitely will be coming back to try other plates!!

The staffs are attentive and friendly. My friend and I got our tables straight away and the waitress gave us plenty of time to order. We ordered the pumpkin omelette that came with cheese, greens and sun dried tomatoes, large chai latte and dirty chai with a double shot of espresso. The drinks came at a reasonable time and they were piping hot. We didn't have our drinks until the very end, and it was really smooth and armouric. The omelette was average. The eggs' exterior was cooked but the inside was still running which did not compliment the cheese inside. The sun dried tomatoes also didn't taste the best with the cheese and there was too many salad on top. I tried to enhance the flavour with salt and pepper, however, it didn't make much of a difference. In the end I only ate half of the meal which was unfortunate. The meau, however, was very extensive so I would like to come back to try something else. The price was on the expensive side which made sense since it's at the centre of the CBD. Overall, satisfied with the service and drinks but a let down with the meal.

I like this place because it is out of the way. A perfect location to spend a couple of hours catching up with someone. And also, a bookshop. Very OG and quaint. The food is great, although pricey. You're paying for location. Service is friendly and understated. Access is tough for differently abled as the tables and booths are squeezed in around the mezzanine. I imagine there's an elevator, although I commonly use the escalator. I'm sure the staff would accommodate. The scones are lovely, with a decently large serving of two, and on the affordable eats of the menu. Definitely come and while away the afternoon here
