Conservatorium at Sydney Olympic Park

I get coffee here most mornings, it’s the furthest away from my office but I make the effort, the coffee is that good. The atmosphere here is great to eat in and the place can get busy, so get in before the rush. I ordered the salmon bowl for lunch last week, it was tasty, although I would have enjoyed some dressing on the rice..

Honestly, this designer cafe's interior is a must-see, even if just for a coffee. The atmosphere is delightful, the furniture is comfortable and well-made, and the staff is incredibly friendly. And the coffee? Absolutely delicious!

Not gonna lie, I was expecting an average standard cafe chicken burger but instead I was surprised with something better. I was surprised with a decent chicken burger with a charcoal bun. The burger is a nice savoury sandwich of breaded fried chicken thigh, american cheese (I think), slaw, shredded granny smith apple, (I also think) corn, sweet chili sauce, another sauce that accompanied the slaw and definitely another ingredient or two. The seasoning, the chicken and the sweet chili sauce create a nice savoury prominent taste while the slaw, the second sauce and other greens balance the flavour profile by pairing the meat with a fresh salad. Buuuut that’s pretty expected with any burger with greens in between. What I’m trying to say is that the amounts were perfect and that none of the ingredients were overpowering. The charcoal bun’s taste and texture was surprisingly similar to that of a fresh brioche bun. So instead of crunching away at dry bread like you would expect from a cheap homemade burger from a school fair (Not that that’s bad, I love these things too), You would eat a soft and sweet bun that doesn’t crumble in your hands but pillow in your mouth. Now this was ordered during a quiet hour in the middle of a COVID lockdown with ‘stay at home’ orders (I was getting my vaccine today and the vaccination staff told me to come back because I was too early so rack off), so I was fortunate enough to receive a burger that was made by someone who could take their time. So to me, this is another fortunate surprise of spending $20. Absolute huge compliments to the cook and management for organising decent food. Definitely recommend the chicken burger from the Conservatorium in Sydney Olympic Park.

Great vibe and decor. Friendly staff. Colleague and I enjoyed our latte and mocha. BIG is an understatement describing the size of their cookies. If you're a cookies fan, you will enjoy your visit when you see the size of their cookies.

Apart from a beautiful looking and relaxed atmosphere, the bacon and egg roll from here was absolutely delicious. Took them up on the $12 deal of bacon and egg roll and a coffee (substituted for a chai latte) and was not disappointed. I chose the aioli as the sauce but there were plenty of other options to choose from. Try it. You will be glad you did l. Service was good too (except 1 very miserable member of wait staff, hopefully she's ok!)
