Cool Mac is a cafe in Kirribilli with outdoor seating. It hasn't yet been confirmed as dog-friendly, so it's best to check with the venue before visiting.
Nice cosy little spot to enjoy nice food and drink. I thought the toast was absolutely great but the udon was more so on the average side but it was still nice. The hojicha was pretty good too. The service was friendly and the dishes came out promptly when ordered. Unsure if there usually is a wait time to be seated normally but I went during a weekday midday in light sprinkling weather, and there were indoor and outdoor seating to choose from.
Lovely place to get coffee - really excellent quality. We had avo toast once too which was basic but yummy. Main issue is everything here is so expensive! Plus sometimes the staff and too busy chatting to take your order. Always quick to come out.
The waitress is racist towards Asian customers, which is weird coming from an Asian fusion cafe. We arrived at similar times with a few other customers, they all served with menu & table service- we did’t. We had to come to cashier to get menu, and eventually ordered. I was asked to pay on the spot, and I asked if everyone else had to do the same (because I started noticing the different treatment between my table & other tables)- waitress said yes. Lo and behold, everyone else paid after they finished their meal. Many restaurants do hybrid self-service/ pay upfront to save cost, I dont mind. But if you only do it for 1 table, I cant help to think of our difference- the colour of my skin. What are you implying- that we will do a runner and won’t pay?
Love this cafe! The cod roe cheese melt was divine and the udon delicious. Great location and vibe.
I live in the area & came in for quick nibble & drink, but I was little surprised the staffs are extremely unfriendly. Plus the food was also average; wasn’t great as it appears to be! The rice isn’t cooked properly as it should be for onigiris.. put it this way, other side dishes were better than the main (Other non rice items may be better I assume). For the overall experience at cool mac, I mean I wouldn’t expect a smile back but at least a basic level of customer service should be presented especially in such areas with a lot of regulars.
