"Stanmore may well be the cafe topia of Sydney. You have more choices than Mohammad Bin Salman. This is a pretty decent choice. The coffee and tea is attended to with all the inner west requisite care. The toastie had potential, though they need to remember toastie peeps order it for 1 thing really, melted cheese. Mine was a bit catholic liturgical theory, rather than practise. If you're in the hood, it's a decent choice."
