Courtyard Cafe da Capo - Sydney

Surly staff. Ordered four sandwiches took about half an hour three to come out then the fourth took another ten minutes. Really lacklustre customer service and not worth the price. My advice - stay away

Dismissive staff/ no one called out it was ready- just plonked on counter??Asked for a mocha= i got what tasted lthe worst hot bitter.. (Obviously burnt) coffee with no chocolate whatsoever?? The sandwiches in their display even looked like stale bread with oxydised dried edged corned beef. No wonder=Who would buy them given the outrageous price. Rude+ disgusting coffee+stale food= nothing good about the place. Forced to rate =1 and what for? I told colleagues they concurred and suggested somewhere else close to this place- will check it out.

I meet a friend for lunch once a month close to where she works in the city and she suggested this place as something different from our usual Martin Place spot. It was like having lunch in some divine piazza in a small European town! A very peaceful oasis in the heart of the city. Very simple fare, (it is after all, situated in the beautiful courtyard of Sydney Hospital, so don't expect Haute cuisine!) but we found the service to be quite attentive and gracious, and the salads very fresh and tasty. It's the perfect spot if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city for an hour or two on a sunny day, without having to go very far.

One of Sydney's best kept secrets, snuggled in the grounds of the Sydney Hospital with lovely simple Italian food.  Love it!  Highly recommended.

The average rating reflects the very ordinary coffee. However this cafe does have a gorgeous courtyard so might be a good place for lunchtime pasta on a sunny day.
