Pen Cafe - Pyrmont

Terrible service. the worst service I've had for a long time. my partner and I ordered 2 sandwiches and waited about 45 minutes to eat them on a weekday when there were only 2 other tables occupied. the waitress has stuffed our orders so my sandwich that I had asked to be done was wrong that I sent it back. they made their standard lachs sandwich roasted instead of the one my partner ordered (he ordered a salami sandwich undamaged). they went back to make it again and it came back with his sandwich right, but my sandwich was still the one on their menu instead of the one they ordered! and there had no tomato like I asked to take it back into the kitchen. so much for 2 sandwiches....read more

Search a failure!! eating is overpriced (too much for a bistro meal without table service,) minute portions, poached chickensalat arrived, do not resemble the menu at all and the chips were soggy again. I would never eat again. the renovation is a large floor staff only busy talking to the cook! I was wasting my time overall!

I work in Pyrmont so I have been to this cafe many times. Given there aren't many cafes in the area, the competition isn't rife. Despite this, service is un-attentive even though there are only 2 tables and a few takeaway customers (oh wait, there are no waitresses in the morning) extra hot coffee is questionable, toast is either too light to burnt, wraps are too soggy. You used to be great Pen- don't rest on your laurels and pick up the game.

Great Coffee, Amazing Food!!. This has to be the best day-time cafe in Sydney. I just moved into the area when a client of mine suggested meeting at this art-deco style cafe. I was impressed to say the least. Coffee was smooth and full-flavoured (far better than what most CBD cafe's have to offer), the waitress was energetic and fun and combined with the Bircher muesli, fruit and yoghurt I enjoyed, Pen provided me with the best possible start to my day. Compliments to the staff! Highly recommended!!!

Overpriced takeaway tee and Spinat/feta filo $11, please! Why did I just pay for it, I'm meeting. beyond that the tee was weak and the filo soggy. I feel stupid and will not go back.
