@ 281 King Street
Cafe C was given a revamp a number of months back. It pretty much looks the same, though there is one noticeable difference - music. Perhaps influenced by the Funky Cafe across the road that always showcases indie / jazz bands, Cafe C leans more toward the brass instruments. It's a nice accompaniment to a meal - though the music only comes at night.
I've been to Cafe C for breakfast, afternoon coffee and after dinner dessert. All three times the service was exceptional, the prices however are a little much. For blueberry pancakes, you'll be hit with a $14 dent in your wallet and for a florentine brekky of eggs and bacon, it'll be $13 please. The meals are delicious though nothing exception. The real winners here are the cakes. Now that Mickey's has disappeared from the realm of King Street, my new dessert plae is Cafe C. Try the Oreo cake, it's to die for. The cakes also come with scoops for ice cream. The second time I came here and ate a cheesecake the ice cream sadly overshadowed the cake. But with less and less after dinner dessert places about (with the exception of the all-day dessert Max Brenner) there should be no complaining and if you choose right, you won't be disappointed.
Times hit: 4
One girl's gastromonic endeavour to conquer King Street, Newtown, a strip of over one-hundred cafes, bars and restaurants.
Walking down King Street in Newtown, one of Sydney's oldest suburbs, one's senses can become completely overwhelmed. Despite its colourful boutiques and a seemingly endless array of second-hand book stores, it's the tastebuds that really get the work-out with the strip's vast line of culinary delights. I've walked King Street many times and have counted over 140 pubs, restuarants and cafes along it.
These never stay static either. Constantly changing, upgrading, renaming and expanding one can always expect a new gastronomic adventure to greet them when visiting King Street.
Well, I'm determined to end that and achieve the near impossible: to feast from every restaurant/cafe/bar on King Street and live to tell the tale.
