Last week, while driving I found a cafe with a really interesting menu. Today, I decided to try their coffee and breakfast, and I was curious about the Korean pork wrap. The flavors they had were amazing! Each dish mixed traditional and modern tastes, making it a great experience. The breakfast was a perfect 10/10—cooked just right and well presented. The service was also great, with the owners being very friendly and helpful. I really recommend it for a breakfast that you won't forget!

We've been visiting Coffee Island regularly for over a year now. It's family friendly, with delicious coffee and owners / staff who are always warm, friendly and helpful (probably the best service in the inner west!). The fried chicken, mochi bread and cinnamon buns are also very tasty. Highly recommend checking out this cosy cafe It's the perfect spot to stop at before visiting the park.

Cute little Korean influenced Cafe. Staff were very friendly. Coffee was REALLY good. We had breakfast and tried their fresh made Mochi bread. Very nice! Sweet potato and sweet pumpkin mochi bread shown in pictures. Breakfast options are good. Toasties through to full breakfast, at reasonable prices. A few locals having breakfast which is always a good sign. Recommend this place if you are in the area.

Parking was okay on the side street, there's a quick 15 minute stop just right outside on Gower Street. Windows all round give it a nice bright atmosphere (weather permitting). Nice place for coffee, service from Peter and his wife was impeccable; very friendly and he's got a great memory from previous conversations. Coffee was made quick, hot but not boiling so perfect for consumption. Food was nice and filling. Banana tart had ample cream, made it extra indulgent. Dumplings were made fresh. Great afternoon pick me ups. I don't live close enough to come daily but whenever I'm around I'll definitely pop by. Keep up the great work Coffee Island team!

If i lived in the area id consider it a lovley place for a lazy morning.
