Me and my dad went here and it was lovely. I had eggs and he had smashed avocado and it was DELICIOUS. The staff were so nice and welcoming. We come here every time we come down to Sydney and they always are extremely respectful. We got free homemade almond shortbread and it was incredible. The other desserts looked so good as well. It’s dog friendly and the coffee is amazing. They have fast times for food and drinks, a diverse menu, and very good prices. Thank You Darlings!

Really great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Above all the coffee has to be one of the best in Rozelle/Balmain. Food is always really fresh and tasty. I love this place and I frequent it quite often. I have never been disappointed and highly recommended it!

What a fantastic spot! It can get a little busy, but that’s only because the food is incredible and the service is absolutely brilliant. The Bloody Mary was spot on, and every dish we ordered was delicious with generous portions. It’s the perfect place to sit back, relax, and watch the world go by. If you’re heading in with a big group, definitely book ahead — it’s popular for a reason. Highly recommend Darling Bistro for great vibes, great food, and great service!

Nice overall Lively place Bit crammy Coffee (matcha & mocha I've had) &food (bacon/cheese melt & breakfast wrap I have had) are solid, not very gourmet or exceptional. Awesome decorations.

Best coffee service in Balmain/Rozelle. Not being from the area I found it hard to find a friendly cafe to go to for my morning coffee and occasional sit in breakfast but I finally found it! The staff are so friendly and remember my coffee order and the food was delicious and generously served. Do yourself a favour and stop in for a coffee or more. Thank you Darlings Bistro ♥️
