Kawa is an institution, and I have drunk a lot of coffees from here in my time, though I think I had a phase of chai latte too… The tables outside are, to me, what Surry Hills is all about, or should be about, and it’s always surprised me that there’s not more outdoors seating in the neighbourhood, to watch our diverse community walk by with dogs, shopping bags and briefcases.
I have always found the food, coffee and service here dependable, and as I expected, it was a lovely place to have Sunday brunch with my pal Cameron, visiting from Brisbane.
