Why it's worth checking out
Cafe Kentaro sits on Bourke Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most characterful and food-loving inner-city suburbs. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — combining quality food and good coffee with a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of welcoming spot that draws a steady stream of regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, neighbourhood feel in a convenient Surry Hills location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. In a suburb packed with good cafes, a spot that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and Cafe Kentaro has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.5 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and a quality coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Cafe Kentaro in Surry Hills.
