Lovely fresh food. Halloumi Salad with Pesto & Tomatoes was delicious and well priced at $13. Lovely lemon curd and blueberry cake to finish. Our booking was at 1pm and we were still there at 3.15pm. The staff were happy for us to sit and chat as they went about their duties. Great courtyard especially at this time of year.

Beautiful food as always, delicious and a great range to choose from. Absolutely love the court yard, lovely space to have a relaxing brekkie and chat. Staff was really friendly and helpful, thoughtful too. Can get quite noisy when more crowded with little children running about the yard but that’s to be expected! So all in all a great brunch experience, highly recommend.

I really like this cafe. Lovely coffee. Great breakfast range. I loved my eggs benedict(salmon)! Beautifully seasoned and the toast was delicious. My friend's Chilli corn fritters needed more pep. They were a little bland. Overall, though, we'll be back.

Nice range of food and drinks. Good for people with dogs. Keep in mind in summer it is hot out in the courtyard where the dogs are allowed. Courtyard music can sometimes get loud which makes conversation hard

I really enjoyed sitting in the lovely garden with my friends and my little dog. The food was good, tried something different, and really enjoyed it. Our orders came out quickly and the service was good. Will be back.

This place requires a booking on weekends otherwise you won’t get a table. Dog friendly in the open back courtyard. Limited seating inside which makes getting a table on rainy days difficult. Minimal off street parking. Great atmosphere, good food but no table service. Worth a visit.

I'm allergic to gluten and casein (dairy protein). My experience at Sassafras made me want to move to Paddington. The front counter and chef were completely receptive to me allergies and the food was delicious. I had a big brekky. The best I have had regardless. I feel very nervous when I eat out. Our next meeting will be there.

I was very glad I booked a table in advance as this was clearly a very popular place for Sunday morning. In spite of the number of people present we had a sense of privacy at our table in the shade in the back courtyard. The staff were really friendly, cheerful and responsive without hovering, and the breakfast was delicious. The cold brew coffee was perfect for a warm Brisbane morning. A very relaxed atmosphere.

Sassafras cafe is situated in a lovely old Queenslander with eating available in a private, shady backyard. Dogs are welcome. Good variety, fresh produce and all meaks were served at the same time! Staff are lovely and very accommodating. Tip: eating outside is a little quieter than inside. It can be cold outside but they do have outdoor heating.

Buddha bowl was super overpriced. Supposed to contain legumes and vegetables but I got a few pieces of beetroot and potato with watercress. Food took a very long time to come.

It was great food, good sized platefuls, very tasty. Son INHALED the honey and lime prawns fettucini. Hubby had the salmon, loved it too. Daughter and I had the pulled pork and bacon with fries, great as a starter to share, not so much as a meal. The menu is compact but varied, something for all of us. Are looking forward to having breakfast there another day. And taste tested the blueberry yoghurt cake - that will be a winner when it hits the menu.

I visited Sassafras for breakfast on the weekend. Our food came before our coffees, the pancakes were ricotta based but it was like the batter had not been mixed properly and the coffee was average when it eventually came.
