Lianna Cafe

Was surprised to find this cafe in what feels like a quiet out of the way part of Sydney. Passing through and was desperate for coffee but drawn by the witty comments about coffee on the windows. Nice find. The owner seemed like a friendly guy who cared about his food and coffee (the comments in signage on the window weren’t just puns which was a relief). Food serving was quite good for the price and quality was very good as well (above expectation for suburban cafe). Parking was very easy as Tower St isn’t too busy.

Lovely service, great food with large proportions and very fair prices! We'll definitely be back.

I read the previous reviews of this new cafe, it really does seem like there is some people or group targeting going on. Those negative reviews only have between 1-7 reviews each. I'd like to post an honest review of this place as our family ate here this morning. I'll start by saying the food here was really on point the taste and the presentation was 5 out of 5. We chose a few meals from the breakfast menu and smashed avocado was very well presented along with 2 poached eggs. not many places will take this care and effort into a $11.05 avocado on toast. The ingredients looked and tasted fresh. I very much enjoyed my meal and so did our kids (who also ordered a smashed avo and nutella pizza) The staff were friendly. There were some slight communication issues meaning that I thought i had ordered five meals but only received four. I'll put that down to not listening when the order was repeated back to me. The negative reviews saying this place is dirty are false. I found the place to be clean and quite tidy for a small cafe space. My only real issue today was that we ordered around 10:40 am and it took almost 45 mins for our food to arrive (as far as I know there were only 6 orders in front of us) I'm thinking timing here is key If you get in early and order before everyone else you'll get your meal pretty quick. But if the place is busy there will be a wait. I'll put this down to it's still a new cafe and they are still getting the food processes sorted. I'm sure they'll find a way to speed things up when it gets busy. Unfortunately, I can't comment on the coffee or the drinks menus as we only wanted table water today. Other than that the place is nicely presented and the food tastes great. it's only a small space so it's probably best suit for groups of 4 or less.

I have been going to this Cafe with family and friends since they opened. Sam and his workers are always very friendly and pleasant. Customer service is what to expect when the place is busy. The food is absolutely delicious and well priced. Sam puts a lot of effort in sourcing fresh ingredients and cooking things himself to make it so delicious. Sometimes the pancake or toast is a little on the burnt side but they're always so quick to replace it without question and so apologetically. I'm just glad we're lucky enough to have another Cafe added to the other 3 cafes in Tower St Panania. When you live locally with young families and the elderly you appreciate little places like this within walking distance to just relax and have a Saturday morning yarn. The negative reviews that say the place is dirty and the owner is not friendly - are totally untrue. The place is small but it's clean and kept neat. The staff are also very accommodating even when they're so busy. Hope this Cafe stays around Panania for a while.
