Urban Cat Cafe Review

My favourite place to have a breakfast
Friendly staff, good plates

What is not to love about the Urban Cat!? They have fantastic staff and delicious food!

The Barista says they are too busy so 3 tables which was 7 customers did not get served, I have seen this happen on 3 different occasions week & weekend, he the Barista is the most unprofessional & rudest barista come waiter you would ever meet, & we are 6 business & professional locals who used to be regular customers, The owner should get a Barista who treats the customers with respect & serves them not refuse service & abuse them & we know of others who no longer come there because of his rudeness

Ordered coffee with poached egg on toast best cofeeeer

We had such a great time at Cafe Piccolo Erko. Good coffee and amazing staff. We will be back soon for sure! Thank you guys!

I had breakfast at Piccolo Erko the other day and I have to say, You Guys made my day! Super friendly attentive staff, food was great and the coffee from Michaela was a delight!!! I loved the casual set up and a good chat on the top :)

Nice place, little bit expensive like most places in the area

Rude and non hospitable owner and employee, if your from out of town go to the cafe across the road and receive some real hospitality and service

Great food and coffee
Staff are awesome
100% I'll be back again

Only came here the once with my Mum, but had a great meal. Tony (the owner) & the rest of his staff made a great effort while we were there to stop & say hi to everyone and make sure their meal was okay - Something that you don'y get as much in the busier cafes across at Newtown. Will definitley come back.

Lovely little local cafe. Staff are fantastic and the food is delicious.

Quality of food is very high.

Homestyle breakfast and good lunch menu. Always consistently good with their menu.

Owner is a local and his personalized service makes a difference. Always willing to have a quick chat. And little things like coming out from behind the counter to hand you your takeaway is why I like this place so much.

Always great service, friendly staff and delicious food.

Very friendly staff and located in a cosy spot in Erskineville. Great selection of food, and absolutely fantastic eggs Benedict!

The banana bread and ricotta made my day, if not week. The family run atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Sadly for them business doesnt usually pick up very much however this means a table is almost always assured. Located very perfectly in an ever developing area, the friendly staff have never hesitated to fill up my tyres with their handy pump on the way home.

Great place to chill on a sunny day. Customer service is great and the food and coffee pretty good too.

Love this place! The customer service is friendly and welcoming. I felt so comfortable here.

REAL italian food, made by a REAL italian dude.. THE BEST food in Erskineville !!! nothing else to say :-)

Very lovely and chill place, focus is on tasty basics (like Cafe Sophia) more than hipster frippery (like Shenkin or Fleetwood) not that either is inherently better Standout is the charming service. 'Urban Cat Cafe' was here before, but I think Piccolo is much better!

Good food but expensive for standard cafe fare. Experience ruined by another customer man spreading himself uninvited and aggressively taking over our table invited to do so by the customers at the table next to us. For that much money

I came here for the cooking class that is run from time to time. Definitely worth booking in for! Lots of fun using fresh ingredients.

Wasn t a very welcoming experience, using eat club here and felt like we were committing a crime. Wouldn t rate the food either won t be returning.

Ofcourse you will find it hard to believe but I can assure you we left feeling like we had done something wrong. We are entitled to our opinion and I am giving my complete honest opinion.

Home grown food and love. Tony's smile is worth going for in this local favorite

This place has been an amazing Cafe for a long time. I loved it when it was the Cat Cafe, and I still love it since the new owners took over and re-named. Food is amazing for a totally reasonable price. Great coffee too. The staff are wonderful and friendly, it's an all round great Cafe.

Had a bacon and egg roll with large coffee for $9.50 - was great! Will definitely come back.

Always a pleasure dining at Piccolo, brilliant staff and food and well priced.

Tony put on an amazing cooking class for us. Italian food is not something i would cook but tonys love of food and italian culture has inspired me to gather all my friends over for a feast.

Deff a great class for a taste of italia

Fantastic place to get a great quality meal at a good price.

Great food, super friendly service, best coffee in the inner west and tables on the sidewalk! The perfect cafe experience

The owner/operator is a lovely man. Coffee was tasty.

Very friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble.

Great coffee and a very relaxed atmosphere with attentive staff. I am yet to return for pancakes

Lovely staff, specially the older man with beard, very polite and attentive. Food was nice and decent price.

Such great and Friendly staff, and their food is so yummy!

All day breakfast! Delicious!! I had the French toast and it was perfection. Really great service too!

Such a lovely bunch of people the man serving me went out of his way to accommodate me. I was really impressed by his kindness !

Same family, same warmth, same delicious food but it's called Cafe Piccolo Erko now !!!

Best coffee I've had on this street. It's has a nice chocolately flavour to it.

Love this place. Tony is the owner and head chef and does a great job of welcoming you in and tending to what you need. Food is a great range of traditional breakfast/brunches, sandwiches, burgers and salads and great coffee. I keep heading back on Sundays!

Great staff and delicious meals. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The coffee is good and the prices are moderate. Our meals were really good. I'll be back.

Love the bacon and egg roll or the sandwiches, great value and the service is excellent, always friendly staff and owner

Whatever you get from here add pesto to it, I don t know if they make it in house but it tastes like it coz it s some of the best pesto I ve ever had!

Great food, coffee and service. Pancakes were delicious

Friendly staff, good coffee, quality simple fare and a relaxed atmosphere.

Its starts with the coffee. If its strong and hot then it's a good start.

Nice quaint and friendly. Very relaxing place to have breakfast.

Nice little cafe in Erskineville with breakfast and lunch served friendly staff and good atmosphere

Coffee is good and service is friendly, with an straightforward meal menu.

Great food, great service, great place to have dinner!!!!

This cafe is the best! Relaxed atmosphere, great food, and efficient & friendly service... thank you Tony & your terrific team, especially the outstanding Rhi & Rohan!

I was invited by a friend on mine to this interesting place, we had dinner together, as they state it is the only Georgian restaurant in Sydney, so if you decide to try this cuisine you must have visit this one.

We started with all starters and it gave us chance to try all of them at once and I liked most of them. The eggplant was the best and the size was reasonable, so after that we shared chicken chahohbili, which tasted delicious.

Another thing to now is that during the day time its Cafe and at Night it's the restaurant.

Love this place! Good people, good coffee and good
food!

Very friendly staff good food great coffee. A place to have a leisurely meal with friends. Staff allow you plenty of time no pressure to hurry.

Cute cafe located in the heart of Erko. This cafe would not look out of place if it's located in a small town but I'm so happy that it's so easy for me to get to.

The coffee is fantastic and the service is top notch. I ordered the haloumi and egg roll which was a revelation. Good alternative to the typical bacon and egg roll (which they also do).

The coffee sucks and the customer service is equally bad. On top of that when one tries to inform the same to the barista, his excessive ego cant take the criticism properly and he blames the customers for not knowing the taste of coffee. The servers are also confused and th table delivery is very slow.

Lovely staff, but portions are quite small. Which would have been okay if the prices reflected that. Didn't try the coffee.

Warm and professional service. Attentive to the customer. Great food choices and coffee. Relaxing atmosphere.

Great spot just locals and the owner is your neighbour. Haven t had a bad meal here. Family and fur baby friendly too

I had the big breaky. Such a well delivered plate bread is just crispy so is the hash. Egg is perfectly done and the butter was prepared in a great density. The only advice I would suggest is if the bacon was dried on a paper towel before serve there would less grease. Amazing atmosphere around the out door seats with shade. What is really important is the service is fantastic. I was served by a male staff who I failed to ask for his name. He is very friendly and helpful. He also has a great charming smile with his service which really made my morning. I strongly recommend this place.

This is a great cafe for all sorts of purposes. The coffee and the food are excellent, with the menu having a variety of different items on it, from all-day breakfasts to sandwiches, pasta, burgers and cakes. There's free wifi so it's a good place to get some work done. All this combined with a bright sunny interior and welcoming staff are guaranteed to keep me coming back time and again.
(Note: there are no actual cats in this cat cafe.)

Great coffee. Great brekkie rolls. Very friendly staff

Great coffee, awesome eggs benny, love the rare roast beef sanga and the atmosphere is super relaxed. Staff are the bomb!

A cute little cafe that allows you to sit on Erskineville and watch the locals past by as well as enjoying the scents of the florist next door. Friendly service and awesome value for money. The veggie breakfast was huge but had to eat it all because it was so yummy!

30 mins for a coffee, had to leave at an hour mark without breakfast as they were to slow and wouldn t give a eta. It wasn t even busy, maybe 4 seperate tables active at any given time...

Bad customer service . The girl who served me is extremely rude i think she is freakin racist . Food is average but just for d customer service i will not recommend anyone to visit dea . I order juice from d menu which is celery , spinach; ginger, cucumber, mint, lemon .is it to much to ask for ? N i ordered from the menu which says you can make ur own . She said she will not use whole bunch of celery n i have to add carrot or something else . Freaking pathetic waste of money . Bad experience, bad customer service . She was rude n didnot even apologised for her rude behaviour .

The service was friendly and polite, however the food was atrocious. I ordered fish and chips, and the fish was bland, tasteless and the batter was almost clinically boring. However, the main problem was the fish wasn't actually cooked properly and was still mostly raw inside, with the clear non white flesh still showing throughout the fillet.

Stay away from anything that needs to be cooked from this cafe. I'd expect better for $16.

Spontaneously walked down to Erskineville from Glebe and had late lunch at this lovely cafe.
I ordered the today s special which is meat ball sandwich with chips, that was amazing! The owner(?)'s warm service and smile made the meal even more delicious and made us want to come back here again!
Apparently they have a gnocchis cooking school for $60, I m not fun of gnocchis but if there is something else I would like to join :)
Thank you so much !!

Great relaxed cafe in a prime spot with outdoor seating. The all day breakfast is awesome just like the coffee. The pop up dinner menu is excellent - Gorgonzola gnocchi is a standout, as are the desserts.
