Bar Lucio

This is the best local cafe spot in Kensington! Great coffee, food options, friendly staff, outdoor seating and dog friendly too. We love sitting here on a sunny day. It’s a nice neighbourhood with lots of trees surrounding.

This little quaint alfresco cafe is located in Kensington, and it’s a hidden gem! I’ve been consistently coming to this cafe for the past 2 years and the standard has been impeccable each time. As it is an outdoor cafe, it is rather weather dependent and can be quite noisy (as it is right next to a road) however the food, vibes and coffee definitely makes up for it! My go to order is the wood-fired panini, light yet delicious with tomatoes, rockets, cheese and prosciutto inside. They always have new baked goods everyday and their desserts and pastries are amazing too! Coffee is really good with more of a nutty, chocolate aftertaste. Service is amazing as well, and I’m always greeted with smiles at the reception. Definitely a cafe you have to visit in Sydney! 😊

Very, very good coffee - definitely the best in the area by a miles length. Beautifully polished interior fit out with several small tables perfect for alfresco dining on a nice sunny day. Great pastry and cake selection. Their paninos are great if you're after something light and not too heavy.

Nice venue set on a corner in a quiet area of Kensington. Haven't had the pastries, so can't really comment on that. Had their salmon breakfast, which was nice. Egg was poached, as expected with a runny yolk. Coffee was nice too. Nice and friendly service. The corner location makes it an ideal spot on a sunny morning.

This place is like a little slice out of Italy right in the heart of the Eastern Suburbs. Let me tell you, this place is well worth a visit. The staff and owners have done an amazing job creating a space that's warm, cozy and just feels like your local. Oh, and let's talk about the fresh chocolate croissants for a second - they are seriously next-level. I mean, not to sound dramatic or anything, but they're basically life-changing. Overall, I would 100% recommend - you will not regret it!
