About Bru Lane

Bru Lane is a specialty coffee spot in The Rocks, right by the harbour walking path near Circular Quay. It's more cafe than bakery, so think of it as a good stop for a pastry with your coffee rather than a full bread-and-pies counter.

Takeaway and dine-in are both on offer, and there's outdoor seating, so you can sip a flat white or latte with the water in view. Pastries, a fresh cookie and the vegan brownies get a mention, and one visitor was won over by a raspberry pistachio pastry. A feta roll and a meat pie have had their fans too, and there's breakfast and lunch for a longer stop. Vegetarian and vegan options are covered, and the place is set up for kids, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and car park.

The friendly service comes up often. We've heard the person behind the counter is happy to chat beans, and whole beans from Seven Miles are sold if you'd like to take some home. One local says the coffee was lovely, the milk is good quality, and the setup, bike included, is charming.

One person finds the prices high, so it's worth a look at the board before ordering. It's open weekdays only, so check the hours before you head down.
