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.

Cafe Martini

Cafe Martini @ 529A King Street, newtown

It's a narrow little front into Glinelli and so it's no surprise that once you're inside the tables are arranged perfectly in rows to maximise space. Two rows of tables and then the barista to the right. There was only one waitress manning the cafe when I arrived and it took a while for her to make my coffee and take another table's order, which isn't her fault. Her memory was spot on and she did aim to please.


The coffee was nice, the toast was a little soft but buttered well. Sadly there really is no atmosphere to this cafe, I'd probably suggest it be better served as a grab 'n' run brekky place personally.
