On Cowell

A new favourite for us! The coffee ☕ food 🥑 & service 🫴 are exceptional.
The outdoor area was ideal for us with our boy. Plus the tables were large enough (a rarity).
Can highly recommend the breakfast bowl and French toast, delicious dishes.
Lovely setting & well decored.

Best coffee in Galdesville! The single origin batch brew was more warm than hot, but the taste was terrific! Service was excellent, we were constantly being tended too at the right times and the staff were genuinely friendly! We were attended to the moment we rocked up on a very busy Sunday morning. Families, kids, dogs and generally a wonderful ambiance. Food was good and value for money.

Lovely options for seating, great selection of breakfast and lunch items! It was air conditioned, which is great in the summer. Açaí bowl was incredible… very generous portion!

Updated 1Sep 23 Breakfast
Returned for our 3rd visit forbreakast. Now had all 3 main meals here.
Seated in outdoor section. Very busy.
Coffee order taken and handed chilled water and menus.
Waited 15 mins for a waitress to come back.
She said the coffee order wasn't placed. So, I had to again advise coffees with the meal order.
Beverages came out fairly quick. Good coffee, nice juices.
Meals were well presented and fresh ingredients.. poached eggs were cold..
Still enjoyed our meal and happy to return.

UPDATED June 23 visited again for dinner, brunch review below,

DINNER REVIEW:
Came back to try the Dinner Menu. Warmly welcomed on arrival. Quickly seated and sparkling water and a on the house starter served.
Beverages served quickly to the table. Friendly team members stopped for. a chat.
The entrees were delicious, a Greek style .grilled Halloumi with tomato. We.orderrd the shared seafood platter, well presented, absolutely fresh seafood, and a yummy salad and crunchy chips. Smashed it, was spot on in portion sizes and taste.
Dessert was a Greek pavlova, not too sweet, and loved the fresh berries.
We love this cafe.

BRUNCH REVIEW:
A modern open planned space with in and out door seating. Warmly welcomed in arrival and advised to choose our table from ones available.
Handed chilled water and glasses, beverage order taken whilst we looked at the lunch menu.
The freshly squeezed juices arrived in large glass.
Coffee were works of art, spot on perfect.
Mains served in a reasonable time, absolutely delicious and generous portions.
Had a The Fork discount, so the bill was half priced.
Had a great time.

This cafe is a hidden gem. Parking was ample, service was friendly and authentic, interior vibe was relaxing with greenery and the prawn pasta was fresh and delicious. We had a great lunch today. We sat at a corner in front of a speaker and it makes conversation slightly challenging. I am definitely returning and my friends plan to bring their friends to return too.

Absolutely loved this local gem! Will be back and highly recommend.
The service was wonderful, food was really good (particularly recommend the steak sandwich) and the coffee was delicious. Barista did some very impressive latte art on my flat white, and my husband’s batch brew was very flavourful.

A spacious cafe with indoor & outdoor seating offering breakfast, lunch & dinner. The breakfast/brunch was great - very tasty & well presented. The coffee is excellent & staff are friendly. There is also house made muffins & sweets which looked delectable.

Wow this place is amazing. After a long time I had the best grilled barra with salad and chips. Atmosphere is good and the owner has active participation with the food served from the heart.

Amazing Cafe in the heart of Gladsville

I had a great experience visiting this cafe last week. Key highlights for this cafe- luscious green surroundings, beautiful ambience and most importantly lovely staff and food delivered with smile. I was here for lunch with my besties and ordered pan cakes, halloumi salad, sweet potato fries and coffees. We were served Delicious food and had amazing experience. Highly recommend if you guys are around Gladsville and looking for friends catchup❤❤

Amazing find. Lots of parking just outside and the staff are really friendly and professional. The espresso fredo (a Greek coffee that's frothy and strong) was enjoyed by both of us. Loved the steak sandwich. The Halloumi is seared well, the Mediterranean vegetables are delightful and work well with the medium cooked steak and the seeded roll binds it all together. We will definitely be coming back

One of our locals. We come here every Sunday for our coffee and breakfast. Parking is great, the seating and general space is comfortable and welcoming - not pretentious, feels like home. Great place for working from a laptop. Although there has been a recent changeover in management (and coffee suppliers I think?) there has been consistency in the food and service. A special mention to Lara - who we’ve come to know over the past year - who has been exceptional at customer service. I watch every Sunday as she helps in an elderly couple - bringing in the man’s wheelchair from the car park and helping him to his seat. She is bright and sunny, and really is the heart of this place. If you’re looking for somewhere comfortable, with great parking and a mixed crowd, highly recommend this place. 🙏

My favourite cafe for coffee and brunch :) Staff are lovely and the food is consistently good!

Really tasty choice of food here and great coffee. Staff are lovely, really friendly and happy to assist with alterations for food allergies as everything is freshly prepared. There is a car park right outside and clean tables are well spaced out with staff all wearing masks. Highly recommend.
Still love this place and go often. Menu changes to make the most of seasonal fruit and veg. Had the most delicious porridge rather than my usual poached eggs. Such a great brekkie menu! Now the weather is improving there is plenty of seats outside too. Bread options need to be updated on the menu, not clear..its been too long! But still love this spot

Attentive staff with fresh, creative and delicious food. Was a great start to my day 🙌🏼

I have to say this. By far, the best steak sandwich I have had here in SYD since the time I have moved to AUS. Also the The Frenchie (French toast) was delicious. Worth having a Brekky sweet tooth after a long time. I couldn’t be more happier with this choice but all thanks to the Greek guy (Kris?! I reckon he’s the manager or the senior) , who recommended me this and asked me to trust his choice. Such a lovely person. 🥰
Coffee is great. It’s such a nice place and a good vibe. The staff is super nice and everyone adores greeting you. Highly recommended. Cannot wait to visit again for food instead of just takeaway coffees. 😃

PS: Turns out that they have Halal meat too, another reason to love it. 🥹

Nothing to fault about this wonderful cafe. My family and I enjoy coming by for lunch on weekends and have always been met with smiles and genuine politeness. The food is just as great as their service, they offer a delicious variety of meals and treats and their efficiency to deliver is unbeatable. Forever a first choice for us!

Nice popular cafe in Gladesville with bright, clean, airy indoor seating and lots of lovely greenery. Service is efficient and friendly. The coffee is great, including the Greek coffee which I found interesting, strong and tasty but a bit gritty at the end (much like Turkish coffee). The usual coffee is great! I had pancakes for breakfast and they were nice, fat and fluffy.

We love Cowell Cafe, great corner spot with plenty parking right out front and amazingly they provide attentive table service and fabulous coffee, by Infinity Coffee Roasters, delicious food with new seasonal menu I think. Even though it is a 10 minute drive from home, it's totally worth the trip!I The staff are welcoming and accommodating. Friendly & vibrant space with plenty of surrounding parking available. Highly recommend this lovely gem!!!

A favourite family cafe and favourite weekday breakfast. Vasili has my Earl Grey Tea brewing before I sit down. So nice and hot it lasts through the meal. Sourdough Toast with Pepe Saya butter and house made Rhubarb and Strawberry Jam. A great start to the day. Natalie helps make a friendly morning team.
Sunday breakfast of Porridge with Poached Pear, Macerated Strawberries, Pepitas and a drizzle of Honey. Nice and hot and a great combination of flavours. Special thanks to Georgia for being so friendly and attentive.
Lunch deserves a special mention. Only my second visit for lunch. First time was a Black Angus Steak Sandwich. Brilliant. Today was the Wagyu Burger. Tasty Burger with Jack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato, Gherkin, Crusty Onion Rings and Beetroot Relish. Served with Beer Battered Chips and Aioli. Thank you Vicky. What a feast! A long walk required after this experience.
Easter Sunday for an early breakfast. One of the few Cafe's open in the area. Not surprising given the Greek family heritage and Orthodox Easter still being a week away. Deconstructed Gaucamole. The hotplate grilled Sourdough Toast has a wonderful charred flavour. All of the other elements combined perfectly for an extremely satisfying breakfast. Not at all heavy and little to walk off after. My usual Earl Grey Tea to compliment. Started to get very busy by 9am and staff were busy. Georgia was especially excited because her Mum woke for work at 7am and gave her Easter chocolates. Something to look forward too after work.
Anzac Day breakfast. Time to indulge a little. Ricotta and Raspberry Hotcakes with a side of Smokey Bacon. A stack of beautiful light, airy Hotcakes with layers of grilled, caramelised Bananas and topped with crispy Smokey Bacon. Honey Yoghurt, Raspberries, Strawberries and Blueberries sprinkled with shards of Praline and micro greens, and drizzled with a Treacle and Maple Syrup sauce. It might sound a little sweet, but it's more adult than that. I think Casandra said it well when she said, "It's not a kids thing".

Love the breakfast and lunch, but this review is about dinner! Seafood salad, grazing plate are fantastic as is the salmon … haven’t had a miss here. First class service, great beverage list (margarita anyone?).
I was going to take a picture of the pav but it was sooooo good it disappeared before I could snap the photo.
