Berkelouw Cafe
Ground Floor
70 Norton St
Leichardt NSW
I compose myself in a chair on the wide pavement, one coffee-sipper amongst many. The coffee is fine, and there is a wide variety of cakes and meals available. Upstairs in Berkelouw Books there is a wine bar, a grand piano and 40,000 second-hand books. Downstairs, the regular bookshop. I peruse my copy of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian. He’s as hard as flint, as direct as a straight hit for 6. There is also seating available inside the bookshop, but some of it those damn banquettes which I always find distancing and uncomfortable. Get rid of them.

This place is just awful!
bad service, bad food (everything practically comes out of the microwave)
I have been there twice now and both times it was just awful – I had to send back my coffee because it still had lipstick on it, had to wait so long for cutlery, my food was cold by the time they finally gave me a fork and knive.
just go next door to le pain quotidien for quality everything!
