Absolutely delicious Biscoff Brioche French Toast from the specials menu at the Playground Cafe Woolooware today. A generous serving & not to heavy with the fruit topping. The team are always friendly & there’s plenty of room to eat outside with your pooch. I’ll definitely be going again.

The new menu is amazing! I had the Prawn Linguini and it did not disappoint. My daughter had the Chicken Sandwich Special and it was delicious! We love the outdoor area out back where we can take a pet and enjoy a lovely meal and a nice wine! The service was top shelf!

Really nice spot in the centre of Woolooware, and arguably the central spot itself due to its bustling activity. Food was good, classic Australian fare at reasonable prices. Coffees were also good with great latte art. Seating is a little limited, but there are options inside, outside, and out back. However as it's the main thing open on a Sunday expect to potentially wait for a table. Slightly disappointed to have gone all the way there on the train only to find it was closed and they hadn't updated their Google Maps, but after trying again the next week they were open and all was well !

This is such a beautiful cafe — cozy, welcoming, and full of charm! The customer service is absolutely outstanding. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and truly cater to your needs. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. The food is amazing — fresh, delicious, and full of flavor — and the coffee is just as great. Every visit has been a fantastic experience. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food, great coffee!

Lovely spot for brunch, breakfast, whatever you fancy! Been here a few times now and am always struck by the kindness and warmth of the staff. My partner likes their iced mochas. There’s a courtyard out the back where you can sit and eat and keep your dog close by.
