Sonder Cafe

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sonder Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The menu boasted a diverse selection of dishes, each expertly crafted with fresh, especially the Salmonizer and Korean Wagyu Parcel. The attentive service added to the warm atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing is an understatement when it comes to the stunning, sophisticated and exquisite dishes from this venue.
Just recently revamped, you can expect to see unique and magical dishes throughout the menu.
With vibrant colours and next level plating, their insta-worthy dishes are worth checking out.
There are several dining areas with beautiful decor throughout but my favourite is the outdoor area at the top level where the ambience is more relaxing and surrounded with greenery.
I started with coffee and it was awesome (from Campos).
Every dish I tried was delightful but my favourite has to be the Minaj Assets (cream cheese fruit toast), Reuben Hood (ruben burger), Angry Bird (portuguese grilled chicken burger) and Banh Mi If You Can (blue swimmer crab banh mi sandwich).
Tips: Some of their dishes are generously portioned and can easily be shared with a friend.
Highly recommend.

Came here early on a Monday morning and was greeted by friendly staff. Great place to people watch and enjoy a well made coffee. I had their spiced corn fritters with tallegio omelette and spicy salsa. Very well cooked and seasoned fritters and overall great value for money. Highly recommended.

I had previously left an average review for Sonder, it appears they hav been under new management for a while now, with a refreshed menu and wonderful staff.

During COVID these guys set up a really easy and safe method for takeaway coffee and food that set the example for the area.

Staff always great with a smile, the coffee is outstanding and they put a great deal of effort into delivering quality food.

Great brunch experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed the food and coffee here.
I got Spaghetti bolognese. Highly Recommend! Staff are nice and friendly. One of my favourite places in sydney to enjoy a good brunch.

Amazing food ! We took two salads and they were so good, tasty and delicious. The desert, juce and coffee are aldo excellent. Service is friendly and really quick. Definitly come back there soon.

The food is always impeccable. We love eating in the courtyard out the back. Highly recommended.

Got the French toast and wow it was amazing. This was the best breakfast I’ve ever had not kidding came back 2 days later.

New management and new menu.

If you want a creative Sydney café where the head chef takes creativity to another level, Sonder Sydney in Paddington is definitely worth a visit.

Tucked away in one of the laneways of Paddington, the cosy looking café may look small, but if you walk on inside, you will discover this gorgeous open air outside terrace garden, decked out with a luscious green wall. Imagine the magical land of Willy Wonka combined with a scene from the Mad Hatters Tea Party, there is a lot of attention to detail towards this carefully curated menu by chef Marcello. And the service from the staff is five star, they really make you feel at home.

We tried the following creations:
'Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle' - panna cotta granola. The prettiest granola bowl (and largest) I've every eaten.
'Lalan Eats & Sweet Jaybee' - Belgium waffles. Waffles don't get more OTT than these ones!
'Love Bite' - heart velvet hotcakes with 24K gold leaf and dulche le leche. The hotcakes were super fluffy, loved the dulche le leche sauce.
'Forgive My French!' - French toast brulee. I can now only eat French toast served inside a pineapple! The beautiful vanilla syrup and brulee gets soaked up by the gorgeous French toast, this dish was one of my faves.
'Benny Colada' - avo eggs benedict. This dish is pure genius, eggs benny served on an avocado. Perfect for those on a keto diet. Plus, loved the juicy lamb sausage!
'Once you go dark you cant go' - black truffle crab linguine. The pure pleasure of black truffle, you get that lovely truffle-ly whiff as soon as the dish is almost brought to the table.
'Banh Mi if you can' - blue swimmer crab banh mi sandwich. The crab was super sweet and succulent, and very generous in serving size. Plus, the chips come in this amazing chilli majo sauce.
'Mexican Dona Meets Mr Kimchi' - tacos with fried egg, avocado and kimchi. One of my faves! I've never had fried egg or kimchi on a taco. Plus, the taco is named after one of my dear foodie friends.
'LMFAO' - hemp falafel burger. The perfect veggie burger.

I loved all of the dishes, each dish brought out raised the bar higher and higher in terms of creativity and flavours.

A massive thank you to Chef Marcello for your hospitality and creative menu delights and your staff, Leina, Serena, Kay and Andy for looking after us. You made us feel right at home in your courtyard and were so attentive.

I can't wait to come back again to Sonder to try more creations off the menu!

Note: I dined as a guest of the venue. All views and opinions expressed above are my own.

Stopped in for some takeaway.
The service was fabulous - I had some dietary queries and they happily double checked for me. Nothing seemed to be a hassle for the team members.
The Sonder roll is fabulous - 2 eggs and definitely a meal!
The Summer juice is delicious. Sweeter than expected but still a fresh choice.

Very tasty, unique and affordable food. Lovely open outdoor courtyard seating area at the back

Great food and coffee, with friendly and helpful staff.
The best food and coffee here at Five Ways.

Great food, excellent service, lovely environment. Totally recommended 👌

Best local coffee in Sydney. Friendly staff. Love the octopus salad - must try.

I ordered the homemade ricotta hot cakes with a small takeaway cappuccino and my daughter had a sonder roll, which is fried eggs, bacon, hash brown, homemade onion jam cheese rocket on a milk bun and a summer 9 juice. The food was amazing. The coffee was amazing too. Highly recommend. Staff are nice and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Great cafe and really great service. We were a table of six, and across the board we all enjoyed our meals and the ambiance. The staff are friendly, attentive, and the menu has a bit of variety without being overwhelming. Coffee was great and I had the corn fritters, which were very filling and served with a perfect poached egg and a refreshing side salad.

One delightful touch was the staff sent over some pancakes and ice cream to try as they were auditioning some items for their new dinner menu. I'm eager to go back and try their new offering.

Fast service. Food was great, menu had good variety of options but not overwhelming. Average price. Better than average portion.

Absolutely loved this place!
All of the dishes are so beautifully crafted and taste really good too.
The amount of effort and love put into each dish is definitely of a high standard not to mention head chef Marcello and his staff are the sweetest of all.
It's definitely one to put on your 'must visit' list.
There's an outdoor area out the back which is beautifully set up for photos but you've got to be quick as it's a fight for a seat.

Really amazing food and adorable cafe.

Great food, friendly service 👍
