Dispensary 1908 Cafe & Bar

Visited this cozy little Café in Glebe during lunch on a Saturday. It was moderately busy with plenty of seating available. Service was excellent (super friendly and helpful) and food and drinks came pretty quickly. We ordered from the All Day Breakfast menu: the Big Breakfast and the Shakshuka. Both dishes were delicious and definitely more than enough for us. The coffee from Toby's Estate was great and so was the hot chocolate. This Café offers outdoor as well as indoor seating with small and large tables (great for families). Fully accessible with on-street parking (paid). Great atmosphere. Good place for a quick or longer breakfast and lunch. Definitely recommend Dispensary 1908 Cafe!

It‘s a great experience! The decoration here has a kind of pastoral and old-fashioned style. Linguine tastes good, and the ingredients are very good. Although it would be more suitable if it could have a milky flavour (just my personal opinion), the fish and chips are cod strips instead of whole fish, which is a little different from my expectations. But the overall taste is very good, the food is served quickly, and the waiter is friendly and warm.

This place has really good cocktails! Different from your usual fare, and a great price point of $14 too. We had Limoncello Spritz and Brumble (dark rum and raspberry). Lovely presentation of food with edible flowers. We started with Peking duck pancakes, then pumpkin ravioli and a surf and turf 250g rump steak with 3 prawns. Finishing with mudcake to share. The price point was below average for dinner in Sydney, for sure. There was live music too, a bonus.

This is a beautiful building with unique décor, and the atmosphere was lovely. We booked through First Table and received 50% off the food, which was a great bonus. Unfortunately, the food itself was quite ordinary and overly salty. What was more disappointing was finding a hair in my breakfast, which completely put me off and I could not continue eating. We understand it’s not an easy time for small businesses, and as we had already received a discount, we did not request any compensation. However, we did inform the staff so they could let the chef know. Due to this hygiene issue, I am unlikely to return or recommend this restaurant to others. I hope the restaurant can review their food preparation and hygiene practices, as wearing appropriate hair coverings would help prevent situations like this. With such a lovely venue and atmosphere, there is definitely potential to deliver a much better dining experience.

Went here for dinner using the First Table app. Was a good time and friendly service, although the strip was a little quiet for 7:30. Limoncello Spritz was nice and so was the duck and snitzel.
