About Hills Cafe & Bakery
Hills Cafe & Bakery is a cafe and bakery in Darlinghurst, and it works for a sit-down breakfast or lunch as much as for a quick takeaway. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all on offer, with outdoor seating, kerbside pickup and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. It's also set up for families, with a kid-friendly feel.
The pastry cabinet caught one customer's eye in the front window. Locals mention almond and chocolate croissants, muffins, Danishes, pies and sausage rolls, and sourdough gets a nod too. One local called the chocolate croissant the best they'd had, and another found the almond croissant both good and generously sized. Things come across as fresh from the oven, and the value is a regular talking point, with a coffee-and-mini-Danish deal and a lunch special that have people saying they'll be back.
The staff get a lot of credit. We hear the table service is friendly and quick, and one person said it went above and beyond to make customers comfortable. The hot chocolate and breakfast earned a rave from one visitor, and the coffee is often praised as rich and well made.
To be fair, opinions aren't unanimous. A couple of people found the coffee ordinary on their visit, one thought the portions small for the price, and one had a sausage roll that arrived cold. The room can also get a bit noisy, with fridge hum and the odd clatter from the neighbouring gym. Most of that comes down to the day you drop in, and the overall word locally is a good one.
It's open daily from early morning through to mid-afternoon, so it suits a breakfast stop or a late-morning coffee and pastry. Check the hours before you head in, and call ahead if you're planning on delivery or pickup.
