A little bit away from everything but serves brunch until later compared to most other places in the area - perfect for a lazy Sunday! Food is amazing - very creative dishes using high quality locally sourced ingredients. Staff are lovely and accommodating. More

The ambiance and service were stellar. The staff were friendly and welcoming. And the chef did a great job highlighting fresh ingredients. We got the magic mushroom dish and hipsters fritter, we would 10/10 go back for it. Plus the kale smoothie was surprisingly delicious.

I had the special breakfast pumpkin pie - do yourself a favour - if they have it ORDER IT! It was amazingly delicious 😋 The olive tapenade on top was the sour to the sweet of the pumpkin - so well balanced! The fresh mint and rocket salad was the bitter - perfect flavour balance.
I cannot recommend this higher - favourite pie I think ice ever had. I joined the clean plate club 😂

Fantastic lunch of kale salad. The photo says it all: perfectly roasted sweet potato, fresh avocado, delightful pickled onions, crunchy peppers and the perfect amount of dressing. I’ll def be back to try more!

Great cafe with a nice relaxed vibe. Coffee is double roasters full and depth. The zucchini fritters were delightful with a surprising hint of cardomom.

Best cafe in town! The food here slaps and is super original, healthy and fresh. No boring breakfast options here, just great home made food that feels like your fancy European granny made it. I've eaten and drunk probably every dish off the menu and everything is high quality! Can't speak more highly of this cosy little cafe! Keep doing what you're doing!

Recently enjoyed a delicious, colourful, and healthy brunch spread at Bronte’s charming Eugene’s cafe with the quirkily named Kung Fu Chia (coconut chia and tapioca pudding paw paw, pineapple, passionfruit and almonds), Eggs Kosciuszko (poached eggs with smoked Snowy River trout on rye with hollandaise with salmon caviar and heirloom cherry tomato salad), Super-Kale-Rific green juice (kale, lemon, agave and jalapeño) and strawberry and tarragon soda, with a side of Double Roasters coffees. The wonderful food is equally matched by the sunny service

We had a great breakfast at Eugene's. Food was delicious and the staff very friendly. We had the magic mushrooms and the sobrasada toast and would definitely order them again ☺️

Amazing cafe that always delivers. The pancakes are probably the best in Sydney, but you're in very good hands with everything offered on the menu.
I returned here after quite a number of years outside of Australia and was delighted to see that its still as good as ever!
Thank you Eugene
