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.

Funky Monkey Espresso

@ 524 King Street

It's a funky little cafe heading towards the St Peters's end of King Street. There are about five tables on the inside, three on the outside and about the same amount of people working the whole cafe. At the very front is a couch for the kids, and yes, a giant monkey plush toy to go with the name.


The service was prompt and the latte just sweet enough. I asked for raison toast, expecting to be delivered one slice, inside I received two cut into triangles and presented quite pleasantly. The taste was good and so was the price. They even have a stack of newspapers at the ready for the reading, always something nice for a lazy Saturday morning.
