The Rustic Cafe

Stopped by for a quick pick me up and something sweet around 2.30pm.
They have a banana bread and coffee special for $ 5.90.
Place was empty — Coffee was ok. They warmed up the banana bread and buttered it for me :)
Overall, if you are shopping around Top Ryde and need somewhere to get away from the crowds then this would be a great spot to come too and just relax and read the papers if you feel so inclined.
The have an extensive lunch menu, so will have to come back to try something.

Had a late breakfast here last week, it is no frills and not at all pretentious, everything we had was really nice and the prices were even better.
I ordered the rustic big breakfast and my wife ordered the rustic brekky (which was amazing value at $ 9.90) that one was a selection off the specials board.
The big breakfast was great value, huge serving it was barely balancing on the plate, I was starving so this made me happy, in the «rustic brekky» my wife got 1 egg benedict, some spinach, a hash brown, bacon and mushrooms.
Their coffee was nice, not amazing but better than some of the other cafés in the Top Ryde shopping centre.
Both meals were great, cheap and delivered quickly. The staff were all very friendly and service was exceptional, it was very quiet but it was during the week and outside of peak breakfast time, they do all day breakfast so it would be ideal for a hung-​over late Sunday breakfast when you don’t want anything too fancy.
I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to this café for a fast and reasonably priced meal or a quick coffee.

A fantastic, quaint café that delivers coffee as nice as it is presented.
After trying both the Eggs Benedict and fried eggs with bacon, a simple yet well done meal, I will definitely be back.
The shop itself is only small but the service is excellent complimenting the atmosphere.

This little café is on the outside lane of the Top Ryde Shopping Centre. It is popular with the early morning crowd. No blasting music and people are quietly having that essential coffee before the work day begins. The staff take pride in preparing the coffee. There is a range of food to have and especially if you like a pie with a difference.
