I\u2019m a native Victorian<\/a> but after years of living in Sydney<\/a> I\u2019ve got to say the caf\u00e9 scene here is something to behold. Thanks to current laws, caf\u00e9s in Australia\u2019s largest city are thriving because we Sydney-siders do all our socialising over smoothies before it gets dark and have nothing to do.<\/p>\n

So, as an avid coffee drinker and prolific taste tester of all things yummy, I\u2019ve done the groundwork suburb by suburb to help narrow down where to get the freshest low-key eats in Sydney. Here goes\u2026<\/p>\n

Double Bay \u2013 About Life<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re \u2018about dat good life\u2019, About Life<\/a> is the grocery store\/caf\u00e9 for you. This place is every healthy eater\u2019s dream, with an affordable organic menu that will please any foodie who insists food should be produced ethically and sustainably.<\/p>\n

They also have a buffet! A buffet! This self-service station means you can buy a decent-sized food box for under $15 and stack it full to the brim with the likes of organic curries, salads, veggies, fruits, yoghurts and even pasta. Oh, and there\u2019s a whole raw dessert section.<\/p>\n

Also if you\u2019re wanting quick, healthy dinner options, About Life\u2019s organic thin pizzas are amazing and take just 15 minutes to cook in your oven.<\/p>\n

Potts Point \u2013 Whole Foods Department<\/h2>\n

This local favourite sits in the heart of Potts Point, offering simple yet tasty food with excellent service. Whole Foods Department<\/a> is the perfect place to hit up after a sweat sesh \u2013\u00a0the menu boasts a huge variety of great post-workout meals. The Warming Ricotta Pancakes are a favourite of mine in the morning because they\u2019re low carb but high protein, and the Love Elixir is a nice way to kick off the day. Good coffee too!<\/p>\n

Surry Hills \u2013 Ouroboros Wholefood Cafe<\/h2>\n

An arty space in trendy Surry Hills that serves up plenty of organic modern Australian options, you can expect a bit of a wait for the food at Ouroboros Wholefood Cafe<\/a> \u2013 but it\u2019s worth it. I\u2019d suggest the burgers as they can satisfy the gluten and dairy-free peeps among us.<\/p>\n

Bronte \u2013 Three Blue Ducks<\/h2>\n

This is Melbourne alleyway dining just a stone\u2019s throw away from one of Sydney\u2019s most beloved beaches. Three Blue Ducks<\/a> in Bronte has a totally different ambiance to the restaurant\u2019s Byron Bay offering but this casual and cosy Sydney spot has a similarly ambitious menu with specials inspired by seasonal ingredients. Breakfast time here is my favourite as it\u2019s a great pit stop before a long beach day \u2013 the salmon is great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
