Fernside Coffee Shoppe

The verdict

This simple but cosy café sits on the corner of Cleveland and Baptist Streets in the lower part of Surry Hills that borders Redfern (just down the street from Porteno) and is a welcome respite for lazy-lunchers and on-the-go passers-by. An all-day breakfast menu serves all the traditional café staples (eggs done every way which, for example), Campos coffee and salads and sandwiches available to take away.
