Preach Cafe

Have been longing to try the Preach cafe and finally got the chance today. I was not disappointed! My friend and I ordered the lotus pancake and chillie hommous toast. They were both delicious. I highly recommend both the dishes. The pancake was not overwhelmingly sweet. The flavours were well balanced. The attention to detail in both the dishes was excellent. Now I know why they took a little bit more time for the dishes. The wait was well worth. Their service was great! We were well taken care of. Im really sorry I couldnt finish the pancake stack, it was enormous. I gave 4 stars only because you guys can improve a bit on the cleanliness of the cafe. But this could be because it was a busy Saturday. Anyway, we had a great brunch. Thank you! Good luck!

Avoid this place. It's been the worst meal we've had in Australia. We waited almost 45 minutes for our food to arrive. When it did arrive, it really wasn't great. The burger tasted worse than what you would get at McDonalds. It was dry and tasted bad. The fries were overcooked and incredible greasy. My partner's meal was equally poor. Every part of this experience, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left, was just poor. The staff seemed disinterested in greeting us, taking our order, and were terrible at communicating how long the food would take or why. As you can tell by the owner's immature and unprofessional responses to past negative reviews (and probably this review), this really isn't a place you should consider visiting if you want a good experience.

Lovely change of pace on a busy weekend. We came for brunch and it was a great place to slow down and relax. Coffee and juices came really quickly and were excellent. Food came out 15-20ish minutes later, which shows its made fresh! They were busy but the quality was top notch. A great spot to either sit and watch the beautiful beach views or people watch those walking down Campbell Pde.

One of the worst cafes in Sydney! I would give it zero stars if I could. - Staff were disinterested and looked like they did not want to be there. Had no urgency or care in anything they were doing - cafe was not even busy at the time we were there. - Decor was old and worn, every single picture frame in that cafe was crooked. - While waiting at the door for a staff member ignored us and did not even acknowledge us while we waited, I had to go and ask the girl at the back who was polishing cutlery. - Waiting 15 minutes for coffee (ridiculous when the cafe was not even busy) and then once the coffee arrived they then tell us they have no orange juice and did not offer an alternative. Coffee was also rubbish. - Waiting another 20 minutes for food and when it arrived it was stone cold. The food looked great but we could not/did not eat it. - We spoke to the staff member and explained our poor service and experience who went to get the manager and this took some time, so we ended up walking out. - We also heard another tables around us complaining of the wait times and quality of the service and food. This is a real shame as we came to this cafe years ago and it was great. Also really embarrassing that the owners and staff have no pride in the cafe, food, coffee or service when this is in such an iconic place in the world - it has so much potential. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Really sad to do this but this was the worst cafe experience I’ve ever had. Food took an hour. Was cold when we got it. Great spot but they clearly aren’t taking care of it. Felt really bad for the workers as I think the issues are coming from the top. No apologies for late food and we got overcharged and it took another 10 minutes to get our money back. No apologies for the overcharge either. You only need to read the responses from the owner to these bad reviews to see major red flags. AVOID at all costs.

Fantastic food! A shame that bookings don’t matter at all. We booked online for a birthday brekkie and requested in the notes for the indoor table closet to the outdoor view. Sadly, both tables were given to other people. Unsettling that none of the staff were wearing masks while it was still mandatory. The food and location is great, I would just recommend structuring your dine ins better, especially considering you’re based in Bondi.
