A Delightful Cafe Experience

A very cute and cozy local cafe where I kept coming back for coffee and food during my stay in Sydney. Had morning coffee and meatball sandwich for lunch one day, and loved it. Their service is great too. People are so friendly, kind and make you feel welcomed. Will definitely come back next time too. Absolutely recommended ;)

Highlights

What does Cafe Portico have to offer?

Good Food and Ambience

Good food and good location. Nice ambience looks like most of the crowd are from offices around, looked like there were a few meetings going on as well. There are a few steps for indoor seating so will need to climb down else sit on the outside.

A Taste of Australia's Brunch Culture

It seemed like a place where I could experience Australia's brunch culture, so I visited and was quite satisfied. Since the restaurant opens early in the morning and is located in a commercial area, the staffs are busy, and the food and coffee I ordered came out quickly. Generally, the taste and price were reasonable. And, it was not easy to have a quiet conversation due to small space.

A Vintage Atmosphere

I recently visited at portico cafe and was so impressed. the atmosphere was so cute and vintage, perfect for a relaxing afternoon. The staff were friendly and attentive, The coffee was good. Additionally Pink juice was very refreshing as well. Overall, I highly recommended for anyone looking for a delightful cafe experience.
