Whether you're in the mood for a simple but satisfying breakfast or a delicious coffee break, Hello Stranger Cafe has something for everyone. Indulge in their Raisin Toast or Sourdough Toast both priced at A$8.00, which pairs perfectly with any of the delightful hot drinks on offer.

For the non-coffee drinkers, the Taro Latte and Chai Latte, both priced at A$6.00, offer a unique twist on traditional cafe fare.

The ambience at Hello Stranger Cafe strikes a balance between casual comfort and modern flair. While the panoramic views of Parramatta Road might be an overlooked aspect of the atmosphere, the expansive floor-to-ceiling glass windows allow for natural light to flood the space, providing a bright spot, ideal for people-watching or capturing that perfect Instagram moment. It’s a perfect spot to recharge while perhaps waiting for your electric vehicle to charge, as noted by satisfied customers.

Speaking of customer satisfaction, reviews show a consistent theme of friendly service and quality offerings. One guest, Buka A., commented on the excellent customer service despite a small hiccup with the takeaway coffee cups. F Liu found the cafe’s polite staff and coffee to be a winning combination, while Donn Alfred Mendoza appreciated the tasty food and comfortable setting as a perfect pit stop. For families, Simon pointed out that the slightly unconventional café atmosphere can be advantageous, especially for those with children in tow.

I like the coffee here and the customer service is good, everyone is friendly. Only issue i can say is the coffee cups always leak so can be annoying walking with your take away cup. Otherwise all good

The coffee shop is on the same floor to the Woolworths shop. It has a lovely floor to ceiling glass that although faces Parramatta Road, it is still good to seat there with the day clarity. I did not eat food, however, what I saw seemed good. I had a large almond latte, and it was average. Not bad, but nothing exceptional. The coffee had also been burnt a little. But again, not a bad coffee, just average. All in all I had a great stay there. Enjoyed it.

Solid option for locals and parents, serving quality coffee and a wide collection of fresh and pre-made goods. Ambience doesn’t rival a conventional cafe but if your kids are at the being a bit feral stage of the day that can be a plus. Panoramic view will improve when something is built in the ex-transport lots nearby

It was a great experience. The cafe was really aesthetic and a cute dine-in on the side. The pancake was yum yum.
