Sneaky skim cap between brunches to get my metabolism burning. This little cafe was tucked away inside a little courtyard. Cappuccino was beautifully smooth – pleasure to drink and no overtones of bitterness.
Great location tucked at the back of a beautiful old building on Darling street, Hunter Works invites you via the side alleyway or through the main entrance. Happening dudes added to the mood along with a Spotify soundtrack.The menu is a little limited but covers off the usual breakfast choices with a little twist by way of addition of a strong flavour – my smokey salsa dish by way of a spicy relish. I was a little underwhelmed on the food. Excellent coffee though. Overall, great atmosphere and space to hang out and have a chat. Limited menu and choice of pastries etc but that is a minor point.
Tucked behind darling street this is a cute little cafe spot and one for the list if you are solo. Great coffee but a pretty simple menu. That said what they do they do well. The menu changes but when I was there I could not go past the black rice porridge and poached pear – delicious! This place has a great vibe and coffee to match.
I love everything about this little gem of a place. The food (in particular their smoked fish dish is worthy of inclusion on the menu of a hatted restaurant), the coffee and the people that serve you there. The friendliest, most helpful service you could wish for and dishes made with first class produce make me want to go back time and time again and recommend this place highly to everyone.
The thing I enjoyed most about The Hunter Works was the set out and where it is located. Its easy to miss if you dont look out for the easel sign which directs you into a narrow corridor of a dark building. I loved how it was hidden from the road, and once you walk in youre met with a lovely courtyard set up with a bunch of tables. It actually doesnt really feel like the outside because the actual inside of the caf is all open so nothing is blocked off, and also because its a part of the building its in. It is however still pet friendly, and staff seem to welcome them, as they were super friendly and interested to know about my dog. The location seriously gives off the best vibes ever, almost like its a secret getaway spot, although I highly doubt this is actually the case.The food combinations were also quite interesting. One things for sure, all the ingredients were extremely fresh and food took quite a bit to come out which only highlighted the care and attention given to each dish. I did find the dishes to be quite pricey, especially for the amount given however quality of ingredients could not be denied. The smoked fish with radish, cos lettuce, fennel, snow peas, and chili mayo was an absolute delight, but the very few pieces of fish did not help make it feel more like a light salad rather than a lunch main. And at $21.50 it wasnt like we could order another one altogether.I preferred the carrot dish over the fish, which came with wild rice, carrot puree, egg, and a black rice vinegar dressing. Carrots have only recently started to grow on me (previously they were the only thing I refused to eat, and apples but thats a completely different reason), and this dish has certainly given a +1 to the vegetable. The dressing was light but enough to make a statement, and the crunchy rice mixed well with the puree. Again, this was not a hearty dish but indeed tasty. Coffee deserves a thumbs up too, it was really well made!I do want to go back because I truly love the ambience, but worry about the portions. Knowing my wallet will cry if I am to be completely full and satisfied here, I wonder if maybe Im just in the wrong neighbourhood!
I was very disappointed with my breakfast. I waited about half an hour for the mushroom breakfast, when I checked in after 20 minutes to see if the order had been placed I was told it was all freshly prepared which I completely respect. But mushrooms on toast with poached egg I don’t feel should take that long. Anyway once my breakfast arrived my egg wasn’t cooked. Not sure how that works. They may have been having a bad day as there were a few items out of stock on the menu. On a positive note it is the best coffee in Balmain.
Wow – I like this place! Set back in a lovely little dark building – gentle on the eyes, always appreciated in the morning. I had the toast with chorizo, goat curd, honey and banana. Lovely sweetness, saltiness and savoury flavours worked well together. The toast was crisp. The edible decorative flowers made the dish look beautiful.I had the dark hot chocolate, I was sad it was in a tiny glass but it was delicious and dark, really well done. It’s always nice when businesses put thought into hot chocolates – I know coffee and fancy juices are where the most attention is focused but I’m always more in love with hot chocolate or milkshakes.Highly recommended.
