Deli in the Park Cafe - EAST LINDFIELD

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, great service! Coffee and burgers were awesome. A revelation hidden in the suburbs, BYO no corkage! A favourite for the

Came here as we thought the park would be nice for our son to play in whilst we had breakfast. Took a while to get the waiters attention & had to follow up on our coffees twice. It was a busy Saturday, but still, if your gonna seat people and take their money you should be able to provide the service. With that said, food quality was decent.

I've been here twice. And have been refused service on both occasions. The first time, they said all the seating was reserved even though there were clearly enough seats. We thought they could be busy and walked away quietly.Today, I thought I'd enjoy my book with a cup of tea at this place, and was told the place was closed. I could see enough people sitting at the cafe, and politely asked, as you do, if I could at least do a takeaway tea. To which the answer was no, we are closed! At which point, I asked them what time they close, to which, he mentioned 2.30 pm. Well, I looked at my phone and it was 2.23pm, and accordingly advised him it wasn't 2.30 pm yet. At which point, he said "thanks for letting me know!" So, I'm not sure what timings this cafe follows. Maybe they should put a sign here saying "Whites only" I've lived on the north shore for more than a decade and never ever felt this discriminated against. Time to let everyone know that the deli only caters to a select few. Shame on you!

I've been checking out new local haunts since we moved to the suburbs and as a parent of two young kids a cafe with a park is the ultimate weekend goal! Deli in the park fits the bill. Directly across from the park you can savour your latte while watching the kids burn off some energy. Plenty of outdoor seating, a great kids menu and plenty of variety to pick from on the breakfast menu.

The coffee is superb. The menu for breakfast and brunch has generous servings at reasonable prices. Service is fast and friendly. Sitting right on the park, watching the native birds dance is visually nourishing.
