Lemon Twist Cafe, Crown St


Name: Lemon Twist Cafe
Suburb: Surry Hills
Style: Citrus

Food Recommendation: The French Toast was very tasty.
Florentine: The food was very good. The portions were big, but not overwhelming...I felt very satisfied...but I might not eat for the rest of the day. My French Toast was beautiful...banana and maple syrup. The coffee was quite good. I was also very excited that they put ice in my water glass. The menu had a nice variety of options. We went with basics...but there were slightly more adventurous options on the menu.
Benedict: I loved that even the basic options had a little twist.

Atmosphere:
Florentine: This was my favourite part. They used the lemon theme very well. It was through everything...down to putting a lemon slice in the water glasses...but it didn't feel overwhelming. It was quirky and fun, but not strange. There isn't a lot of space, but we were sitting on a couch in the back which was very nice...did share our table with others, but It was a big enough space that it was uncomfortable. Always love sitting on a couch in a cafe. I thought the staff were great...very friendly. It wasn't the type of place that I would sit for ages though...wouldn't want to sit, just hang out and read.
Benedict: I 100 percent agree! I love Themes!

Intelligence ratio: 15/30 (I think at least one set of glasses was fake)
(Based on number of people wearing glasses, or having book or newspaper in their possession compared to the total population)

Attractiveness of people: Good (it is Surry Hills it has to be at least good)
(low, average, good, very good, excellent)

Likelihood of picking up a date: Ummm...I dont know how to answer this question...Benedict?
Benedict: You could take advantage of the line outside the shop to start up a conversations, but once inside the cafe it was inhabited by couples! So maybe not the best place to pick up a date, but I would definitely recommend it for a brunch date or the morning after a good one ;)

Bounce rate: Florentine: I would come back, but I don't think it would be the place I would choose to frequent. It's not the one...at least not for me.
Benedict: This cafe is like the disappearing island from "LOST" it is a rare occasion to find it open, so when you do you should take advantage of this unique opportunity.
