Late Breakfasts.The kind that you want on a typical Sunday. It was our first time to try Sassafras, a cafe located on Latrobe Terrace in trendy Paddington. It looks deceptively small from the outside, but upon entering its actually very spacious. Looking beyond the crowd to the back, we could make out the patio, and the other dining space. Inside,...

Speed by for a coffee and cake and it's as good as it's always been ( been coming here on and off for years) Food is always good and home made. Coffee today was a little on the burnt/hot side but that is being a bit picky . Service is always relaxed and happy.

This place is an institution in Paddington. The range of deli foods is great, it also has a very selection of vegetarian fare and as its old, it has atmosphere. The staff are very well trained and attentive, its a great spot for breakfast or lunch. Great strong coffee also

What a brilliant place this is :) After 4 years away from Brisbane, its wonderful to come back and find one of our dearly loved cafes still operating and still friendly, well priced, great for kids and full of interesting people. Definitely one of the nicest Melbourne style layouts I've found in Brisbane, and like Melbourne, always really fast, friendly... More

Everything was expensive in this casual dining place, and the setting is quite unrefined (think someone's backyard), so I'm not sure why they charge so much for food and drinks here. The coffee was ok and the food was ok, but for the price, it's really not worth the fuss.

Not worth the wait. Cramped with people. Horrible system of ordering and waiting. Food & coffee luke warm by the time the waiter finds you. Noisy and tacky

Always fabulous food, especially of the organic kind and catering well to vegans, gluten free & other dietry requirments - Sassafras has been serving up delicious food long past my initiation into the cafe scene. Breakfast/Brunch is my favourite reason to visit, and the coffee is very good. Service is friendly and timely even though they're always packed and bustling... More

Website promised more than what was delivered. We arrived to find that in spite of booking for 7 and confirming our booking... They had set aside a table for 6- sorry, no. As we sat down a man was complaining about how long he'd waited for food which never appeared and was cancelling his order. Generally unkempt and in need... More

This place has quite a nice atmosphere in their back garde, but what lets them down, is their staff chat to customers for an unreasonable amount of time, whilst lines of customers out the door wait to place orders and be served. Table service would be far more appropriate for this establishment, as every time we've visited the store is... More
