Tried their ice coffe mocha and it was good. The place was comfy enough and the service was fast. It cost around 7 dollars for the coffee. Enjoy!…

While the pictures and hype appear amazing, the most popular MacDaddy dish was quite a disappointment. It was high in creativity but lacking in flavor…

Good and prompt service with delicious foodThe Big Daddy was very fulfilling and a little sweet with each element complementing each other. The Sideway Shuffle was even better, with a refreshing watermelon touch. Do recommend these dishes. The coffee was okay.
I had the Bacon Mcdaddy which was honestly one of my favourite brunch dishes I’ve had in any cafe – I can imagine why some people might think it gets heavy towards the end and is super filling (couldn’t finish mine) but had some interesting flavours as well! Portion sizes are worth the price and would highly recommend this dish if you ever go there! Service was very friendly and really nice atmosphere 🙂
Ive always loved the food at Cuckoo Callay. The mac and cheese/bacon croissant is decadent and amazing. The mac and cheese is cheesy and flavorful, while the buttery croissant ties the dish together.
Located conveniently after newtown station. It coud be very busy on weekend so dont forget to put your name on the black board for the queue. The food are awesome, particularly the corn fritters. The coffee is just standard. The staffs are friendly, and the price is reasonable. I will definitely come back whenerver i visit newtown.
Cuckoo Callay’s got a good position next to the bustle of Newtown station, with a nice interior and a lot of outdoor tables under cover. The breakfasts may be expensive (most $20+, and I paid $6 extra for a small amount of tasty salmon) but are high-quality – only complaint with my corn and haloumi fritters was that they did them as big balls so they weren’t great as a base for the egg. However, the expensive coffee had a horrid metallic taste that sat in my gut (plus the iced coffee was served in a narrow-necked bottle with a precariously-placed spoon that, when knocked slightly, led to some of the coffee spurting out of the top). Then the worst thing was when I paid and I had to press buttons on the credit card machine to approve the amount and then indicate whether to tip. Given that I only saw this for the first time last week and now it’s happened twice, this might be a general update pushed by the card companies, but since it’s a shameless cash grab and it inconveniences the customers by forcing them to press buttons when they didn’t have to before, businesses need to push back or be considered complicit.
Definitely recommend their bacon menu!! Their Mac n cheese croissant was amazing. We tried the hot chocolate with bacon…that was interesting….
I’m not sure why I don’t eat here more often. Every time I drop in, I am delighted by the choices on the menu. It’s nice to go out for brunch and have options that are a little outside of ordinary. The coffee and food have always been bang on, so I really must return a little more frequently.On my most recent visit I took a small group so that we could share a few different things. Pro tip – Four is the perfect number to get enough variety, but to not have to skimp on your serving of each!I am a massive fan of the Sideways Shuffle. The 63 degree poached egg is always perfect and drizzles nicely over the spanner crab cake perched upon avocado and corn salsa, watermelon slices, greens and cucumber and lime jelly. Every single element in this dish serves a purpose and adds to the overall delicious combination of flavours.The Say Cheese Kimchi is another creative take on the standard scrambled eggs. The fermented chilli, and kimchi give a fresh kick, whilst the shitake mushrooms and crumbed goats feta add a creamy richness that rounds out this wild breakfast spread.Finally I always find it hard to go past good breakfast fritters, which are delivered well on the All that Fritters is Gold. Halloumi and corn fritters with labne, some choice veg and a poached egg.The coffee is always good, as is their proper hot chocolate. The hot chocolate come with extra pouring chocolate and a marshmallow, so I was in dead set heaven (and a food coma) by the time I left.Must return!
