Dobinsons

Visited Dobinsons off the recommendation of some friends and boy were we impressed. We ordered the big breakfast which could honestly feed 2 people, and came not only with a glass of orange juice, but your choice of a hot beverage - all for $19.50! As Sydneysiders who are used to paying above average for your standard brunch food, this was an amazing steal. Service was good, food came out quickly and was pretty tasty for what it was. Do grab a pastry on your way out - we tried a Portuguese style custard tart and it was by far one of the best custard tarts we’ve had.

Have to say, food and value for money are fantastic at this cool little cafe. Only thing that let the place down was the rude attitude from a staff member. I was made to feel as if by being a customer for this establishment I was a burden. Really left a sour taste in my mouth. Other than this the food was great, definetly would recommend- just stay away from the angry Irish backpacker and you'll love it!

We came to have lunch here after climbing the Black Mountain. The cheese burger was great with a large portion, and Chocolate on Chocolate was so smooth and satisfying that I simply couldn't stop eating! Dobinsons is definitely a must-go for desert lovers. P.S. The Dobbo's cheese burger set comes with a really large portion so ladies should consider sharing it within pairs.

I've only ever been for their breakfasts, but I can say that they are decent. They aren't something you're going to cherish for the rest of your life, but they will give you well cooked food and a good quantity for the money you pay. Indoor and outdoor seating, and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for a table. Their range of single serve desserts is brilliant and will force you to think for a minute which one you want.

WELL HEY I was lost searching for a different cafe when I stumbled across Dobinsons. The staff were super duper friendly, coffee was good and the AVO TOAST WAS SO GOOD! It was called “Perfect Avocado Toast” and for the first time in history advertising wasn’t bending the truth! Can we take a moment to appreciate the plentiful, abundant, yummy avocado, I think they used a whole one and then drizzled a life giving elixir over it to keep it fresh. They’re a full on bakery so the bread was delish and they put butter on it — YES. (I’m so over dry toast with avo to the side, what is this world becoming!?) It is also currently the Multi Cultural Festival, so I do have Violins playing in the background and the sun is shining. Not sure if you can recreate that, but give it a red hot go. Also, I would suggest taking a look at both the menu AND the window, there’s some pretty delectable things going on in there. So make sure you spend time on your decision.

It is clear that the pastries at Dobinsons are baked with passion and it shows through the flavour and overall taste of the pies and sweets. The good coffee is also an added bonus. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. A major downside of the restaurant is how cramped it is in terms of indoor seating. Overall, a mostly pleasant experience.
