An absolutely stunning experience! This Japanese-inspired brunch café perfectly blends traditional Japanese flavors with modern creativity.

Had lunch and coffee here. The atmosphere was lovely with both indoor and outdoor seating, conveniently located a very short walk away from Surry Hills light rail station and being on Crown Street, it's located so close to so many other great shops. Dine in and takeaway coffee are available. There is also a back door entrance which was really convenient.

Nestled in a quiet street, pet-friendly, very demure, very cutesy – basking in the warm spring sunshine of Surry Hills in a cozy garden.The Pandan French Toast and Ube were absolutely divine. The Dead Bird Burger is a must-try, so rich and satisfying. The Crab Meat and Scallop Squid Ink Pasta – I’ll definitely order it again. The drinks didn’t disappoint either, with the Matcha Ice Cream being a real treat.

Charming little cafe nestled in a beautiful old terrace house in Surry Hills. The ambiance is cozy and perfect for a relaxed brunch. I tried the Paddock Waffle and Truffle Cream Pasta—both were delicious and well presented. Their Iced Strawberry Matcha is a must-try, with a unique and refreshing flavor. Overall, a great spot for a mix of traditional breakfast favorites with a modern twist. Highly recommend!

Great high tea experience, even better when buying the coupon off Groupon which gets you the whole high tea set and sparkling wine. Little sandwiches were delicious and generous helpings of jam and cream. The scones and quiches were delicious. The little desserts were also very good but would've liked a bit more lemon curd for the lemon meringue tarts. Quick service and polite staff.Would highly recommend trying

The staffs were so polite and friendly.I ordered the steak and eggs sandwich, and the taste was very nice, but I think the steaks could be a bit more salty (in my opinion)

Absolutely love the Paddock on Crown! This has been our go-to brunch spot for a long time and the food is on point every time!! They deserve all the stars as we've tried quite a few of their best dishes and they're all amazing. My favourites are the soba noodles, pasta dishes and breakfasts. Also love their signature fluffy pancakes. Very friendly staff, prices are very fair, and love that they welcome furry friends. We love coming here before catching the tram straight to the city. 100% recommend!

Famous for their pancakes, I really enjoyed this fluffy stack with ube ice cream added on! The soba noodles with crispy salmon belly was super delicious, light and refreshing as well. They also have a decent strawberry matcha and a loaded biscoff tiramisu latte to indulge in.Such a lovely Surry Hills cafe for brunch!
