We grabbed breakfast at this cafe. The food was good, and the staff were friendly and provided great service. Plus, it was one of the few places open on a public holiday, which was a big plus!

What a wonderful spot! From the coffee to the baked goods, you won’t be disappointed. We enjoyed a latte, a flat white, a chocolate croissant, and a bagel — everything was fantastic. The staff were warm, friendly, and offered smooth, attentive service. Highly recommend this place for a cozy and satisfying visit!

The white chocolate frap with foam is very special. They have customers from the country side that make it a point to visit.

Lovely cafe with great coffee. Didn’t get a chance to try their breakfast or lunch sandwiches but they had great food options. Now my go-to coffee/breakfast spot in Sydney.

After wandering through the streets of downtown Sydney at 6 am, feeling like Rick from the pilot of walking dead, the clock at last struck 7 and the doors to two friends cafe had opened. A quick Google maps search revealed that all other cafes weren't opening for another hour or two, so it was all or nothing - I needed a cappuccino The bell echoed warmly as I swung the door open, but not a soul was present. As I walked up to the counter, an employee emerged. I'll be honest - the cappuccino, really nothing special. I hate to admit that my taste buds must have been pampered more than I realized over the last several years of downtown Halifax coffee shops. But the ambience, service, and memory that I'll now associate with my early Sydney morning - mwah - this place was a beacon in the darkness. If I ever return to this fair town, I'll return here for breakfast.

Everything here is wonderful and the staff are very welcoming. The only small note I’d share is that the mocha tastes a bit more like hot chocolate than coffee. It’s still enjoyable, but I personally would prefer a slightly stronger coffee flavor.

Food is delicious, coffee is great, and the atmosphere is perfect. Two Friends Cafe is a great place to meet friends for a coffee or go for a solo lunch date.

While walking around Sydney we saw the sign outside with a picture of a lobster roll and it was very enticing. So my wife and I went in and got two lobster rolls and I had a Caramel Frappe, The drink and the food was delicious !! We got talking to the lady sitting next to us and she asked us how were the lobster rolls.We said that they were very good, and it turned out that she was one of the owners. We had a lovely chat and told her that we would be back the next time we come to Sydney. Highly recommend this place to anyone else who is visiting the area.
