A treat to find this cafe so close to Sydenham station. Lovely staff. I tried the home made sausage roll, which hit the spot- yum. Toby’s Estate coffee delish. Water came from the fridge. Bonus was good newspapers!
A really great little eatery. Being an instructor at the local martial arts academy our staff frequently visit this place for take away food and it never disappoints. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices too! Keep up the good work!
Great food, friendliest service!

I had the pleasure of dining at Tinhorn Cafe in Sydney, and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. This small cafe boasts an impressive array of desserts and coffee options, making it a perfect spot for a satisfying breakfast or a quick pick-me-up.For my meal, I decided to try the Tinhorn Breakfast, a classic breakfast dish that included hashbrowns, sourdough toast, eggs, sausage, and bacon. To add some freshness to the plate, it came with a side salad of mushroom, kale, and tomato. The Tinhorn Breakfast was a true winner in my book. The eggs were perfectly cooked, with a lovely runny yolk that added a rich, creamy texture to each bite. The sausage and bacon were crispy and flavorful, providing a delightful contrast to the soft eggs. The hashbrowns were golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, a testament to the kitchen's skill. The salad was a fresh and healthy touch that balanced out the heartier elements of the dish.Next up was the Tinhorn Chicken Burger, which was a juicy and flavorful delight. The chicken patty was well-seasoned and cooked to perfection, nestled within a soft, fresh bun. The burger came with a side of chips that were crispy and satisfying. It was clear that the chef paid attention to every detail, ensuring that the flavors and textures were spot on.To complement my meal, I ordered a cappuccino and a mocha, and both were exceptional. The coffee was rich, aromatic, and served at the perfect temperature. It was evident that the cafe takes pride in their coffee offerings, and it showed in the quality of these beverages.The ambiance of Tinhorn Cafe is cozy and inviting, with a clean and well-maintained interior. The staff members were attentive and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. The location of the cafe near the station is convenient, making it a great choice for a quick bite or a leisurely meal before or after a commute.In summary, my visit to Tinhorn Cafe was a delightful culinary experience. The food was outstanding, the coffee was top-notch, the ambiance was pleasant, and the service exceeded my expectations. If you're in the Sydnam area and looking for a great cafe with a diverse menu that includes breakfast options, desserts, and coffee, Tinhorn Cafe is a fantastic choice. I highly recommend it for a positive and satisfying dining experience.
Lovely food, great value for , the pancakes looked pretty special and staff were very quick. I was particularly impressed the bathroom was set up for baby changing as I brought my 6 week old. A lot of cafes don’t have this. They could make the decor and seating a bit more inviting and comfortable but room for improvement is always a positive
I have been having my weekly Breakfast here now for 6 months now since recently moving into the area , such amazing food and staff are great have now gotten along with Pat even though we go for different NRL teams ( go Souths ! ) wouldn’t be going anywhere else
All you want in a cafe - friendly service, tasty snacks & great coffee. It is a very convenient location next to the train station.
