The Wooden Whisk

Such good coffee and excellent customer service, even when I order a coffee at the end of service!
Really good range of gluten free products also, which are DELICIOUS.

Excellent cafe about half way between the hub of Crows Nest and St.Leonards, sort of below street level, though by no means is it dark.
It's mainly a day time place,
Not open at night , although it is open on Saturdays, day time only.
Coffee is excellent, as you would expect from Single Origin Roasters. It's always piping hot too. Nice lunch snacks, served on tasty bread. A nice atmosphere.
I'm told they also do catering, although i haven't tried that.

This place is a real neighbourhood gem in downtown st Leonards. The menu is amazing here with plenty of options to choose from. I highly recommend the ocean trout with pearl cous cous.

Such incredibly friendly service and delicious food and drinks! I was happily surprised to have visited this cafe when I was greeted with such welcoming attitudes to start my morning. They also give extremely generous servings and it's definitely one for people with a sweet tooth.

I had a coffee here and I thought it was great. The food looked nice but sadly I didn't get to try it out.

The only draw back for me was the location. It is set back from the street in an arcade style building. This setting is endemic to St Leonards though - you aren't going to get many nice views here.

The decor makes up for the outside a bit. I felt like I was in a nice american diner but with Sydney quality coffee. The staff all wear cool uniforms and are extremely nice! I really felt comfortable here.

Free wi-fi is a plus.
