Tucked away in the heart of Glebe, just off St Johns Road, this cafe offers a relaxed spot to enjoy a casual breakfast or lunch. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find locals popping in for generous servings of all-day breakfast — think hearty omelettes, eggs Benedict with bacon, or simple staples like banana bread and French toast. The menu leans into fresh and comforting options, with highlights like a grilled salmon fillet salad dressed with wasabi bringing a little unexpected brightness to the midday table.
The atmosphere tends to be lively but welcoming, especially during busy morning hours when the aroma of great coffee fills the air and the outdoor seating buzzes quietly with conversation. It’s a spot where solo diners feel at ease, as well as families and anyone looking for a straightforward, unpretentious meal. Portions are notably generous, and there’s a friendly, homely vibe that makes it feel like a community hub rather than just another cafe.
Alongside solid coffee choices and refreshing cold drinks, there’s a practical mix of healthy options and quick bites that cater to a range of tastes and schedules. Payment is easy with several card and mobile options accepted, and practical amenities like gender-neutral toilets and free street parking add to the convenience. Whether you’re stopping by for a leisurely brunch or grabbing a takeaway smoothie, it’s a spot that fits naturally into the rhythm of daily life in Glebe.

5 Pain De Sucre in Glebe is a hidden gem! Their omelettes are massive and packed with flavour — perfect for a satisfying lunch. The portions are generous, and the prices are super reasonable, making it great value for money. The staff are friendly, and the café has a cosy, welcoming vibe. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area
5 Came across this cafe and was very impressed with firstly the price of the coffee that we always order first. Then I was impressed with the portion sizes of our meals, I actually needed to get a doggie bag home. We had the ham, cheese and tomato croissant and the avo, chicken and cheese melt. We sat outside which was a little noisey which was to be expected on a busy street that time if the morning.
5 My husband and I walked in for breakfast. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere in the cafe. (The girl took me to showing where is bathroom during busy order taking time). The food was huge potions for us, scrumbble eggs, salad and 2 pieces of toast and orange juice together. I ordered Avocado, tomato and cheese melt.
5 Having a nice morning walk on weekend and decided to have a breakfast here.. Portion was a jumbo, perfect for big eater like myself. Nice Flavour, Great Portion and service If you're a big eater like me, would recommend creamy pepper chicken rice! PS : Dip the garlic naan in the sauce!
5 Tasty local gem. A cosy spot with a welcoming feel, serving up seriously good burgers at great prices. The Big Burger was packed with flavour and perfectly put together. Friendly staff make it even better - an easy favourite for a casual bite in Glebe.
5 It was the most friendly, generous, and delicious restaurant I’ve been to in Sydney! The peaceful street view made it a perfect spot for breakfast, and the staff were incredibly kind. Above all, in this crazy high-cost city, we were able to enjoy a huge portion of amazing food! They even asked if we needed extra plates, cutlery, and tongs in advance — such a truly lovely place!
Many guests enjoy the Grill Salmon Fillet Salad with Wasabi Dressing, hearty omelettes, and the generous breakfast options like Eggs Benedict and avocado melts.
It works well for both—whether you want a quick coffee and snack or a casual sit-down brunch or lunch with friends.
The café tends to be busy during breakfast hours, so visiting slightly before or after peak morning times can offer a more relaxed experience.
Yes, it’s great for solo dining as well as casual meals with friends or family, thanks to its comfortable seating and friendly atmosphere.
There’s outdoor seating, gender-neutral toilets, and payment options include credit, debit cards, and mobile NFC payments for convenience.
