Big Tree House Cafe

This café is a little gem pretty much in the middle of nowhere — unless you’re in the Parra/​Epping belt of Sydney. Luckily it’s half way between my house and work, meaning I can take advantage of it as a brunch and lunch spot! They have a simple, tasty and modern Australian menu, with all-​day breakfast and lunch. Everything on the lunch menu is good. I highly recommend the squid salad, which comes with beetroot. Need I say more? The steak sandwich and chicken burger are also fantastic. There’s a good breakfast range, and my only hesitation with the benedict is the Orange hollandaise which wasn’t really my thing. The breakfast pot is tasty and the coffee (Campos) is strong and creamy. They also have great juice specials so ask the staff. Sometimes there’s a wait on the weekend, but it’s worth it. If you live in the area and haven’t gone yet, 2016 is the year to try!!!

A great little place in the middle of suburbia. Has all of the classics and they do them well. This place is busy busy busy, especially on a Sunday morning. Just a small indication of the quality food, but this also means Service was a bit slow. Slower than I’d like but excusable considering the amount of people continuously streaming through the door.

Great food and easy to park. Campos coffee if that’s your thing. I’ll be back to try some of the sweet treats in your display cabinet!

Went here for the fourth time for breakfast, anticipating another tasty meal and was not disappointed !! These people really know what they are doing. So many cafes fall short in one way or another, but The staff here hit all the right notes– which also means that they get very busy. Fast at tentative service, great coffee and juice, good size portions for big appetites like mine, and very tasty– what more could you want! I had the corn fritters with bacon, tomato relish, and poached eggs– best thing I ate all week, and I cook for a living! I can not think of a single negative about this place accept that I wished they had been open a few years ago when I lived a few streets away! Keep up the great work guys! We will be back soon!

Absolutely love this place!
Atmosphere: great! Friendly staff and amazing service. I always order 2 portions of food/​person when I go. They were a little worried at first because we seemed to be ordering too much (usually order 4−5portions between 2) but we successfully finish our meals! The lovely staff even added an extra table for us because we had too many plates.
Food: I’d have to say I love it all, ranging from the big treehouse brekkie to my all time fav SMOKED SALMON SALAD!!! The smoked salmon salad is highly, highly recommened.
Parking: free on-​street parking. It can get a little packed on the weekend just in front of the café but usually there’s plenty of spaces to park.
I LOVE YOU TREEHOUSE CAFE!

Cute little place hidden off the main streets on parramatta. Had breakfast here and was great. You order and pay for at the counter but service was fast and tasty. I had Asparagus and sautéed mushroom with poached egg and toast. Will be going back there maybe sit outside in the sun next time

We came here for breakfast on a Saturday and the place was very busy.
Really well presented, the place is tucked away in the middle of residential houses.
We ordered at the counter and staff were friendly.
As a side note, they have a bench located in the middle of the walkway leading to the counter which creates a large bottleneck for waiting customers and staff taking food to the tables which was a little annoying.
It took a little while for our coffees to arrive but they were good.
Food was also really nice, well presented and fresh. The hollandaise was obviously made in the café and was awesome, served on an english muffin. Only issue was the poached eggs were over cooked.
Very close to a 5 star rating but the chef needs to improve the poached eggs. We’ll definitely be back again.

Came here today for a late lunch. Called up to book and said they’re not busy but would put one aside for us anyway — nice touch.
Arrived around 1.30 and the lady on the phone was right. Not necessary but with a 5 month old in a pram, thought it would be useful to call ahead.
This was a last minute choice for lunch and I was pretty happy as was my lunch companions. One had the big tree burger and they wolfed it down and thoroughly enjoyed it. The amount of chips that came with it was a health conscious amount but still devoured!
I had the ricotta pancakes with bacon and that was delicious. I’m keen to come back and try a few more things.
They stock papa patisserie cheesecake and cannolis and Brasserie Bread choc caramel tarts. Took a tart to go!
Coffee is Campos and was made quick and the Barista did not disappoint as it tasted great too!
On top of all that friendly service and welcoming to kids and Bubs so as a mum to a 5 month old, got to be happy with that!
Will be bringing hubby next time!

This place is decidedly Instagramable — drawing of the neighbourhood on one wall, hanging light bulbs, bunting decal on the drinks fridge door, food on chopping boards and mismatched plates — you even get a milk bottle to decant your bottle of softdrink into! Seriously, a bottle for your bottle!
Thankfully, this place ain’t just looks. Great campos coffee, deliciously fat, nay OBESE chips and a great list of tempting choices. Did you say Gangnam Style Burger? Goats on Toast? Shakshuka???
Bonus points for the sweet climbing tree out back. I’m totes ‘gramming myself hanging upside down from it next time.

Great atmosphere. Fantastic foods. Definitely having an out of Rydalmere experience! Very friendly staff and chef.

Tucked away in an unlikely location reveals a modern café with a surprising menu.
Good food, campos coffee and excellent customer service. What more can you ask for!
The all day breakfasts are awesome and so are the daily specials! There is something for everyone here.
I can’t be certain but this feels more like quality food you would expect in the city… Not suburbia.
Will be back again.
