Chez Sun

This is one of the cutest cafes I’ve been to! If you visit, make sure to sit upstairs as the place is very beautifully decorated. Both the inside and patio area on the second floor are very cute and homey. We ordered the crab omelette and the poke bowl. The omelette was ok but the poke bowl was absolutely incredible! The salmon was so fresh and the ingredients mixed in very well with each other. For coffee we ordered the iced rose latte and the iced coffee jelly latte. I personally preferred the rose latte, but if you don’t like too much sweetness in your coffee go for the jelly latte. For dessert we ordered the apple and cherry cakes. The apple was very good, with actual apple pieces and cream inside. But I didn’t really like cherry one as it was black forest flavored. Definitely want to go back during winter to sip coffee and sit by their fireplace!!

Awesome little hidden cafe. Food was delicious and drinks were refreshing. Desserts looked way too good to eat. Took my family here for breakfast plus our puppy so we had to sit outside which was way too hot for us and our newborn. The manager(legend!) quickly picked up on this and asked us to move inside but the puppy had to be carried which was Absolutely fine with us. An overall awesome joint. Great service, yummy food and drinks. Will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu.

Chez Sun is an amazing patisserie! It is also much more that just a master of fine cakes. It is also a great place to enjoy a coffee and meal for breakfast, brunch and even dinner Thursdays - Saturdays. This two level eatery is located in Surry Hills toward the Oxford St end of Crown St. The bottom level has an open view of crown street. Once inside, head up toward the counter where you are greeted by the friendly staff. It is here where you see the beautiful display of cakes, which are an absolute work of art. If you are dining in, it is recommended that you head up stairs. Once on the upper level, you will find an oasis in the heart of Surry Hills. With an inviting French inspired sitting/dining area, you can sit down in a tranquil environment for hours. There are burgundy leather bench seats, a fire place, book shelf and nicely upholstered lounge chairs and marble coffee tables. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a cake accompanied by tea or coffee. We visited on a sunny Sunday and chose to pass through the luxurious sitting/dining area and out on to the black and white mosaic tiled terrace balcony. A great spot to enjoy a coffee, juice or tea whilst pondering what was the night before and browsing the brunch menu. The brunch menu literally had something for everyone. Plenty of breakfast and lunch options: both sweet, savoury, healthy or a hangover cure. This made for a tough decision. The hot cakes are an absolute must, the plate nicely decorated with light golden discs (hotcakes), served with a berry coulis that is not overly sweet and combines nicely with the decadent quinelle of marscapone. A tasty savoury option is the three egg omelette with bacon, mushroom and jalapeno's, nicely presented with the omelette wrapped around a flakey croissant topped with parmesan and hazelnut. Be sure to save some space for the patisserie on the way out. The items on display impeccably presented to reflect real items. The white peach, filled with peach cream was very fresh and perfect for sumner. The green apple was very impressive, it actually looked like a glazed granny smith. This was also light and fresh the braised diced apple and dill centre a nice flavour combination. The were a number of items on display that will have us return for more. Chez Sun echoes quality in all that is put forward. The meals are extremely delicious and nicely presented as are the sweets. The set up of this terrace is ecclectic and inviting. This is a great spot to escape, enjoy a bite to eat with your tea or coffee.

The eggs benedict and coffee (piccolo) for breakfast were excellent. Sides (had the chorizo) were reasonably priced with a good sized portion and very tasty. The only so so was the deconstructed iced mocha which wasn't described as such on the menu. The desserts however were amazing and from another world. Had an assortment including the raspberry egg and chocolate tart. These are fairly expensive but are definitely for sharing. The staff were also very attentive, helpful and nice. Plenty of kudos to them. Paid parking is ample on Goulburn St most days just around the corner and Crown St is ok during weekends.
