Kinfolk never disappoints! I’ve been visiting for years now and it doesn’t matter whenever I come or what I order: the food is always delicious and service friendly. I recommend the vegetarian curries and chai lattes. There’s construction happening right outside now so the outdoor seating is limited and the space is a bit noisy. Looking forward to visiting again when it’s finished.
Probably the best cappuccino I have ever had in my life. And the toasts with peanut butter were as good. Staff was amazing
Kinfolk is has got that classic canteen feel, serving up delicious seasonal, local, hearty fare to people that have traveled far and wide. The coffee is great too. It's worth noting that this placed is fueled by volunteers, and the Kinfolk mission gives back all profits to projects, based on their coffee bean voting system! this social enterprise is giving back to the people that need it most. What's not to like about Kinfolk?!
Awesome experience here, the staff were very friendly and the menu very interesting. I was pleasantly surprised at the high quality, given its staffed by volunteers. Some of my money going to a good cause at the end was the cherry on top of this scrumptious pie.
The staff here are so cool! Such a great cause and the food is full of flavour.
Beautiful iced latte and even better because they have almond milk. Great vegan and vegetarian options. I had a fragrant and filling green veg curry and my friend had a mouth watering beetroot Quinoa Salad. Would definitely come back here :)
We ordered 3 different variations of egg special. Eggs and vegs were beautiful, would love more contents though. Nice coffee. Friendly and helpful staff. +1 for supporting the charities.
Came here at the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad I made the trek. Not only were the staff amazing and welcoming despite them being volunteers on busy lunch days, with proceeds going to support charities, but the food and coffee was amazing. I had the risotto, which is from a menu that changes daily, and I wish the plate never ended. I don't normally give five star reviews but this time it's actually worth it.
A wonderful cafe. Totally ethical, sustainable and eco friendly with a high conscience. The food is prepared fresh and the coffee is very good. There are limited tables and chairs here so often take out is the option. Lovely friendly staff with good old friendly service.
Kinfolk is a fantastic place to get a quickish lunch to sit and eat with delicious food and a great drinks selection. The staff are all very friendly and courteous and the meals are tasty and fresh. There is a mix of Asian/Indian/Australian cuisines. The only downside is that it can be hard to hear inside the venue and it's often crowded. There is some limited seating outside however.
Great food, volunteer staff. Such a great idea and brilliantly executed for a great experience.
Run by a group of volunteers what could you not love about Kinsfolk. Wait staff are super friendly, coffee tastes great and to top it all off food is great as well (lunch menu is a food choice!). Food is served quite quickly as well.
I found this place while looking for a pleasant place to have lunch without wandering too far from my transfer point at Southern Cross station.
First thing I noticed was that the staff are incredibly friendly (I live in Sydney, so maybe that's normal here!). Second, the eclectic decor gives you lots to look at. Even when it was busy and a little loud, the atmosphere was somehow cosy.
The menu at a glance looked to have some nice gluten-free options. I settled fairly quickly on the beetroot risotto, and a housemade pear and ginger soda.
The risotto is a colourful dish in a large portion, which I couldn't finish. The rice was slightly undercooked for my taste and too salty, but otherwise tasty. The soda was excellent, and provided a nice foil to the risotto.
Along with a large takeaway chai for the train trip, the total bill was $23. I would eat here again.
Every time I enjoy the 'Risotto of the Day', I try and try to extract the secret to such an intense base. The secret is held tight! From beetroot, dill and walnut risotto; to cauliflower with cacoa nibs and nettle; to amazing salad choices that change daily, I love this place. And of course, the philosophy behind it all is very worthy of support.
