Just the best. wonderful breakfasts, the best coffee. I read some of the old reviews and laughed a lot. Imagine complaining that the kedgeree had rice in it! (How wonderful to be able to order a brilliant kedgeree -- that is a rarity. Friends swear by the corned beef hash.

Cozy and stylish, my experience at Zinc Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the outstanding service we received during breakfast. Despite the evident busyness of the establishment, our waiters managed to be not only efficient but also incredibly considerate. His attentiveness added a personal touch to our dining experience, making us feel truly valued as customers.The attention to detail in the decor and the cleanliness of the space further added to the positive impression. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this cafe is well worth a visit. I can't recommend it enough, and I'm already looking forward to my next breakfast at Zinc Cafe.

It appears that Zinc Cafe has a strong community of people who love it here. I had a great sandwich from their board of specials, and the staff were kind and friendly, and amenable to special requests. The customers here appear to be a mix of locals and visitors, and all people came and left with a smile.The location is lovely, especially on a day with great weather, and if you enjoy people-watching, this is the place for you.Coffee here is also fantastic. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in the Potts Point area!

I popped in for breakfast and was immediately greeted and seated and offered tea or coffee. My tea came out quickly and my gentle waiter returned for my breakfast order promptly as I put down the menu.My scrambled eggs, sourdough toast, bacon and avocado were divine -perfect in every way…. even the butter on its own side dish was delicious. My waiter was almost invisible yet attentive and offered to top up my teapot before I even asked Thanks for the best start to my weekend in Sydney

Me and my family have been coming here for around 20 years. The service is always great and the staff are friendly. The bacon sandwich and omelette are a must with the coco milkshake

The best salads in Sydney. Great coffee and house-made sodas. Love this location, the people who run it are friendly and welcoming. Super dog-friendly, it has been our favourite local cafe for almost 10 years.
