Top 5 cafes to visit in June

Le Monde

Surry Hills

Saying the baristas at Le Monde were serious about their caffeine would be the understatement of the century. But they have every right to be as earnest as they are, when they make such outstanding coffee.

Petty Cash

Marrickville

There’s more to Marrickville than warehouses, and this little park-side cafe is the perfect antidote to the industrial chic of the Inner West. Set right on Enmore Park, Petty Cash is a leafy spot for a café brekky. Be prepared to queue for a table.

Belgrave Cartel

Manly

The people at Belgrave Cartel appreciate the versatility of the toasty. Stuffed with cheese, tomato, ham, Vegemite, eggs or baked beans, they are hot pockets of goodness perfect for warming up chilly bodies after an ocean dip.

Bread & Circus

Alexandria

It’s all happening in Alexandria at the moment. Go for ‘very particular pancakes’ – black quinoa and maple organic yoghurt. Your insides will be all like, ‘Whoa – I’m so happy I’m filled with organic wholefood! It’s a great day to be a stomach!"

Little Ethel's

Balmain

If it's the difference between eating at a café staffed by hot guys in suspenders and spats or sullen teenagers on their school holidays, you know which one we'll be choosing.
