Sloanes Cafe

i spy. . . a new cafe

With the intent of finding new cafes in the Paddington/Surry hills area to try, i blatantly missed Sloanes cafe situated in the center of oxford st, thinking that good coffee could only be found in the heart of some back lane. With its rather small interior, the smell of coffee, which pervades through its entrance hits you first. The narrow corridor which takes you from the cafe front to its courtyard seating takes you from the modernism of oxford st to a sort of oasis setting. With modest furniture and decoration, its set up is one of welcome and curiosity. As i sat at a table with my friend Rosie, we viewed drawers, writers and people who came for a coffee and a read of the paper on their lunch break. Its scene was equally as intriguing as its menu.

Due to our lack of funds we only tried the chips however the modest presentation of food making its way to customers surrounding us intrigued us to come back and try more.

try it out for yourself, and tell us what you thought !
