The Penny Royal
The verdict
Serving up some of the finest coffee on the North side of the bridge, this buzzing café in Mosman attracts locals for its dynamic menu and ridiculously good brew. What The Penny Royal lacks in space, it certainly makes up in just about everything else.
In terms of interiors, small wooden tables fill the space and a colourful mural of a quirky babushka puppy adorns the wall. As for the food, the menu features unique options such as pear, ginger jam and ricotta on sourdough. If you’re after something more savoury, their burrito is served with hunks of smoky beans, sweet salsa, cheese and avocado on the side. They're also the home to the famed nutorious muffins - the legendary mixes from up-and-coming cook James Sideris.
