Dropped my car off for service this morning and needed to kill some time. I walked passed Digi Kaf and thought the café is so dated, can’t be that good. I am glad I gave it a chance. The service is really pleasant and the food was great. They use quality soy milk for my soy flat white. Their poach eggs were perfectly cooked, served on a thick fluffy toast with delicious salsa. The place is dated, worn concrete with old timber tables and chairs. Definitely not your typical Sydney glam café. This could be the reason why I fell so relax at Digi Kaf. Best of all, they are not rush me to go. I still have another hour to kill :-)

Café tucked away in a Glebe side road. Has an inviting menu with some different stuff. I had«devil’s eggs» — poached eggs in spicy tomato/chilly/herb sauce & optional chorizo. Was tasty, although overpriced. First coffee was only lukewarm, which seems to be a disturbing trend in Sydney. My partner’s meal had burnt bacon. Crispy does not give license to serve charcoal, Overall a bit disappointing.

Have been here before, was a while ago tho. Good service, sunny and roomy, that’s why they get 2 stars and not 1. Tepid coffee, burnt, bitter tasting bacon, expensive smallish meals. «Extras» costly and not worth the effort. Partner said his meal wa tasty. Again very small, and costly extras not worth it for the amount you get. His coffee was tepid as well. Not worth the hike to come back. Lots of interesting menu choices, but again, all with«added/costly extras». «Crispy bacon» doesn’t mean«burnt and bitter». Burnt bacon was«discreetly» hidden under other elements, as usual. We are not stupid or blind. $ 5.50 for this extra. Most extras cost this and are very small in serving size. Won’t be back.

You feel like you’ve walked into a special space when you first step into Digi.kaf. The patrons were all either reading, eating, surfing(the net), or drinking. They were not talking much when we were there. It was a pretty quiet restaurant and I would imagine it’s a place to eat and be productive all day long. Most of the people there seem to be engaging in some productive endeavour. We started off with the home brew chai, which was made with loose tea leaves and fragrant punjabi spices. We then ordered the haloumi stack and the spanakopita(full menu here: ). We really enjoyed both dishes. The spanakopita was our favourite. The service was good and the food was decent. We will be back. :)

Very extensive menu, usual brekkie suspects but also a good selection of their own dishes. I chose the«Cyber Muffin” — their version of Eggs Benny with mustard-seeded hollandaise, and opted for the homemade hash brown inclusion($ 17.5). An OK breakfast(hollandaise was nice) but the hash browns were a real letdown– soggy and tasteless. Sad face. On the other hand, BF got the BLEAT sandwich served on a Turkish pide roll, which at $ 17 was overly pricey but damn delicious. Quite possibly in the running for the tastiest sandwich I’ve had in Sydney. Coffees were good, and we sat outside in the courtyard which was lovely. It was packed on a Sunday morning so clearly a neighbourhood fave. I wouldn’t get my meal again and it’s slightly too expensive all around, but the BLEAT is hard to beat!

Awesome coffee and delicious food. I had the Big Brekky, which was pretty big, but no over the top. Delicious free range eggs cooked just how you like it. On a second visit recently(at lunchtime) I had the Wagyu Beef burger, and was pleasantly surprised. Moist and delicious! Staff are also very friendly which is a plus. Overall, it is easily the best café in Forest Lodge, and possible Glebe /Broadway area as well.

Venturing off the main road has its rewards. Digi. Kaf is one of them. Sure it is an Internet café but it has none of that techno sterile atmosphere that one would associate with such an establishment. On the contrary, Digi. Kaf is quaint and easy go lucky, the perfect spot for a lazy weekend brunch. The menu is extensive and offers a range of unique meals. The food is on the verge of being orgasmic and the service is always up to par. Green Eggs and Ham($ 16.90) is a delicious creamy pesto scrambled eggs served on sourdough. It comes with a side of crispy prosciutto, a welcome change from the standard side of bacon. The Parmesan and Olive Bread($ 9.90) is also good. The Big Breakfast($ 18.90) also has a clever Not So Big option($ 14.90) handy for those who prefer smaller portions but don’t want to miss out on all the elements. The fresh juices are always a good way to kick start the weekend and are served nice and big.

Digi. Kaf is a café for your iPad. Or your computer. Either one of them will love visiting this digital café(see what they did with the name), as you can access wireless internet, courtesy of a unique code given out at the counter. For those of you without a computer but in desperate search of a terminal to log on and enter your fantasy football picks and check on your Neopet, Digi. Kaf also has a fleet of desktop computers which can be hired by the hour or the day. While this café evidently has plenty of bytes for your devices to eat, humanoids can dine on a very robust and reasonable brunch menu; I personally recommend the B.L.E.A.T., a bacon lettuce egg avocado and tomato sandwich. As someone who has considered the shortcomings of the BLT, this goes someways to addressing my conceptual concerns. The food here is very reasonably priced, especially when contrasted with other Glebe options. And do not be too concerned — this isn’t a CityHunter type of place, nor is it as slick as the bridge of the USS Enterprise. The interior is quite warm and homely, fostering an earthy vibe which is a nice contrast from the digital focus.

Tucked away down Saint Johns Road, Digi Kaf offers a gourmet breakfast and lunch menu with a fully functioning internet café upstairs. Working from home, I would often bring my laptop in this cozy café and set myself up along the long wooden bench upstairs. Their wireless internet isn’t free, but is available at a small expense. If you’re hungry, I highly recommend the parmesan and olive bread, which is fresh baked with a hint of cornmeal and thick cut. It comes served with a soft bed of spinach and eggs poached to perfection. The young boy who mans the coffee machine turns out a mean cap piled high with milk foam, which is slightly reminiscent of American style lattes(only better). Best of all, Digi Kaf offers a deal to frequent customers where your coffee is free with purchase of a meal. What’s better than that?!

Digikaf is an eclectic, yet comfortable place to study, catch up with friends, or have a decent breakfast. Service is friendly and very relaxed. Even as I spent two hours working on my laptop, I never felt pressured to leave. Oh, and they have free Wi-Fi. You must ask though, as you have to sign in using an individually specific username and password to gain access. The barista made a strong macchiato as I decided what to order for breakfast. I decided upon a Mexican style quesadilla, filled with melted cheese and refried beans, accompanied with salsa. Though it originally came with scrabbled eggs, my waiter obliged give me two poached eggs instead, which were cooked perfectly. The plate was filling and reasonable at $ 13.50. There were people from many walks of life here, and I love when a café attracts any type of local. Make sure to ask for a loyalty card that gives you free coffee with any meal purchase. I highly suggest Digikaf for a casual breakfast or coffee with great value and comfy atmosphere.
