The Hunter Works

In order to give the most accurate and most informative Café’ Reviews, I am one of the few Google Reviewers that judges my reviews on the following 6 points. 1. Service; Friendly service by the wait staff and barista’s in a clean environment, with clean facilities (even though, they are shared with another business, when I went in – everything was clean and well stocked. 2. Coffee; African blend made in Chatswood – I ordered the cappuccino - it was fast, hot and strong, exactly the way I like it. 3. Vibe; cool and chilled out vibe-with soft music in the background – not overly loud. 4. Cleanliness; Ultra-clean tables with beautiful table decorations and clean bathroom facilities. 5. Food; I had the pulled pork with with pecan and maple slaw, with dried rosemary and chipotle aioli on a freshly made bagle (made in their kitchen, not brought in). Looked good enough to be considered as fine dining for breakfast, but, this is all part of what sets this café’ apart, every coffee and every dish served gets the chef-owners approval before it goes out. This is what you get served on the daily in this new café’ (opened for around one month, when I reviewed it). The owner has worked in some really great kitchens in England, and in the Eastern Suburbs where he amassed his finesse, his attention to detail and good wholesome yummy tasting food skills. I think he may even have a couple of Michelin stars under his belt??... 6. Signature foods/point of difference; FREE WIFI! This café’ is doing away with plastics to do their bit for climate change, which scores highly for me. They also make their own bagels, brownies and on the weekends the chef makes his own brand of signature chocolate muffins. The pastries are brought in fresh each day. Small café’ off-street with a cosy and cool vibe. Small things like the attention to detail on the table decorations… the coconut chia pods with chocolate soil are all made in house as well. There is also free parking on Little Street (subject to availability for 2 hours at the back of the Café’) Otherwise, you can get free 30 minute parking on Darling Street, or pay for 1 hour parking (1.00 – 5.00 approx). I paid $20.00 for my cappuccino and bagel and pulled pork and pecan and maple slaw – which was reasonable price to pay given the average costs in Balmain, service, the quality and presentation of the food. I also tried their in-house made brownies, and they were a sweet, moist, almost sticky -like chocolate lovers dream, worthwhile trying these, they are very moorish, have two if your feeling depressed or feel like sharing it with a loved one :) – Taste sensation and a taste-bud treat!! Well done, keep it up - 5 out of 5. I will be back... #thehunterworks #mysydneycafereviews

Quality. Would go back. Would not notice it walking past if it wasn’t for the sign. It’s a little cafe inside the building. No real street view. Bagels were great and staff were friendly. The chef not only took out order but made the food as well. He even thought me how to poach an egg. What a champ! I still suck a poaching eggs though.

Blink and you’ll miss this place. Hidden off the main road, the Hunter works produce some quality food and coffee. Owners and staff are very accommodating. Warm, cosy and family friendly cafe. Small deli and retail section is a delight. 👌🏼

Coffee was great and come quickly, food was tasty and Greta portions. Highly recommended for brunch

Had the liquorice milk shake which was interesting for a non liquorice eater. Service was friendly but the food (which was nice ) was too healthy for me personally

I love the food here, I love the approach to sustainability & quality. The coffee is amazing & Jersey milk makes all milk coffees better. The guys are friendly & welcoming too. 1 of my top 5 Sydney cafe's.

Fantastic! Coffee is some of the best I've had in Sydney (and therefore the world), staff are friendly and very willing to chat about the beans of choice, food is delicious (goats cheese, chorizo, banana and honey, just do it) as are the juices! Also good value compared to all other cafes in Balmain/Rozelle area. The best choice for brunch.

Really good coffee (Gabriel), and quick/friendly service. Boyfriend had bacon and egg bagel and loved it... And he doesn't even like bagels much. I had corn fritters which were very flavourful and spicy. Will def return.
