Located right near my apartment, this cafe is a hidden treasure. Friendly owners and great coffee.

It really does feel like you're in France when you enter this sweet little cafe. The touches such as black and white tiles, marble countertop and splashes of yellow give it quite a Gallic feel. The coffee is always good, and there is a frequent buyers program. Service is always swift and friendly.

It's a little bit hidden, so don't despair if you can find it straight away, it just doesn't face the street, rather, it's sort of a blocked off plaza ( I think service vehicles can drive at certain times), but there's lots of parking on Alfred St, or of course, it's just a stone's throw from Milsons Point station.

Located on Alfred St under the shadows of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Pompidou is a quaint little cafe in the heart of Milson's Point. A popular with workers in the nearby office towers, Pompidou serves up good quality cofee and good quality service. The cafe serves up Toby's Estate and a selection of quiches, pies, sandwhiches and sweets. A good tip is to watch out for the day to day lunch specials which are hearty, generous and won't break the bank (we've had a chorizo rissotto for only $12).
