Once Upon A Time Cafe

Beautiful cafe that makes you feel like you've stepped out of time. There's old skool sewing machines and odd things to sit on. Wooden trains in the door and old decor. It smells like wood and imagination.

There's a whole bunch of seating downstairs but you'll need to order upstairs and collect up there.

There are a variety of things on offer and it's a relatively new Cafe. The owners were lovely and let me know that they haven't really advertised at all so ...read more

Not a bad place to catch up with friends for tea/coffee or dessert. Plenty of space with a rustic antique ambience - very unique! However it sucks that they alway close the downstairs area off earlier. It's nice and quiet downstairs with more space and better lounge seats.

Food isn't too bad but at the same time it could be better. Service is gerenally pretty good and friendly but it really depends on the staff member at times.

This is a cute cafe located in West Ryde that offers a delicious menu and a vast range of drinks and tea cakes. They offer a green tea latte that always wins me over when I see it being offered. I highly recommend the B.L.A.R.T. Sandwich !!! It was packed with juicy bacon and fresh soft avocado.

Cute little vintage cafe! The decor is really nice they have a lot of vintage items all upstairs and downstairs. The table I sat on was an old school sewing machine - a treadle!

Only opened 2 days ago so I got to sample some house made orange pancakes with orange compote, ricotta and Canadian maple this morning. Hmm pancakes! Tasty

I also tried for the first time their earl grey latte. Yes, you heard correctly. Tastes exactly how you expect - a staff member told me that it is a collaboration Twinings and another company (will investigate further). But is it soo good! Must try it if you are in the area.

They also have a sweet potato latte! That is next on my list.

Breakfast is avail 7am to 11.30.
Lunch 11.30 -3pm.

Loved my first time and will definitely be back to sample something from this well designed menu.
