Old Quarter Coffee is a charming little café tucked away in the heart of the city, offering a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The coffee is bold and flavorful — you can taste the quality in every sip. While their freshly baked pastries are delightful, what truly sets them apart is their selection of authentic Vietnamese dishes like bánh mì, phở, and vermicelli salad. The staff are wonderful — welcoming, attentive, and always ready with a smile. Whether you’re looking for a quiet spot to work or simply unwind, this café is a hidden gem well worth a visit. Highly recommend!

There is no shortage of cafes in Lane Cove but this is by far my favourite. I am in love with the XO prawn omelette, . Its so soft and just melts in the mouth. The sour dough bread soaks up all of the XO sauce and is delicious! The coffee is great and the staff are very helpful, making it a great spot for brunch in the Cove. As a plus its dog friendly outside so everyone is happy!

My very first time here! Their Acai Bowl is a must-have, comes with a massive portion, lots of granola and berries. Plus the staffs are extremely friendly. Got served water on the table the moment I sat down.

Ate here for a Saturday breakfast. Very friendly service as well as plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you wanted to bring your dog. We ate the trout bagle and avo with well done fried eggs on sourdough. The bagel was soft and chewy. The serving of smoked trout was generous as well was the pickled cabbage. My wife had the sourdough with avo and eggs. The avo was presented nicely and the sourdough was toasted PERFECTLY. Highly recommend for a casual meal for 2 well under $50

My first visit, had trouble choosing from the lovely all day menu, with all the western brunches, some Asian and fusion options. Ended up eating from the gourmet sandwiches section and chose a well prepared and presented Vietnamese roll. Loved all the drinks options here to and steered away from my usual coffee for a Custard coconut coffee instead. It was really good, as was the friendly attentive service. The Old Quarter Cafe is also spacious, and comfortable. Definitely going back to try some brunch options.
