Lower East Cafe

"This place is an absolute GEM! Have been visiting weekly for the last 2 months and have tried 5 different dishes. They were all amazingly good, large portions and great prices. I live in Bowral and have visited just about every cafe there (and there are a lot!) but the menus are all so similar and boring. This place has so many interesting food choices and so far all delicious. Service is unpretentious and extremely friendly, atmosphere great. Always puts me in a good mood when I walk out to start my day (maybe its the music they play - like the food, quite unusual). Will be back tomorrow! Oh, and coffee is awesome. Would go out of my way just for that! Cheers, Mark"

"My partner and I are regulars as we get coffee before work most days! We also decided to have brunch one Sunday earlier in March (pictured). Delicious food and coffee with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere! Pictured: I ordered the avocado toast, my partner had the falafel toastie - both SO GOOD. We also both had iced coffees which were tasty with good quality coffee. What I love: - delicious food & coffee (takeaway or eat-in is both great) - reasonably priced with large portions - relaxed and comfortable atmosphere without a hint of pretentiousness - super friendly & helpful staff who get to know you by name - menu which includes options for those with dietary requirements such as vegan and gluten free - indoor and outdoor seating - quirky merch and funky coffee beans also for sale - great location not far from the beach, and Crown St Mall, with parking and public transport close by, making it easy to drive, walk, cycle or catch the bus to get there!"

"We had a superb lunch here today. A chorizo egg wrap and a serve of chilli eggs. Eggs in both dishes were PERFECTLY cooked, the pork and fennel sausage bits were great as well. We enjoyed the coffee and refreshing juice as well. Highly recommended!"

"The front of house service was GREAT with yummy coffees and a cheery customer service. The coffees are popular here, during our visit there was a constant flow of takeaway coffee orders. Something that needs working on is their food. The burgers etc need to compete with the standards set in other food establishments in lower crown street area."

"We stopped by on our way to Jervis. The service was quick and really friendly. Regular portions, great quality and presentation. They have plenty of vegetarian options and we loved the steel straws! Tasty coffee. We would recommend them to improve the noodle sauce, it was kind of weak on flavour. And also reduce the amount of snow pea sprouts in the avocado toast."
