Illi Hill - Marrickville

Very friendly and polite staff. Ordered the slow cooked lamb and a piccolo and Justin ordered the triple cheese burger. Both the food and coffee were scrumptious.

A local cafe with charm and a menu with something for everyone. Food ordered: Corned beef and potato hash. A hearty dish that is made to satisfy your hunger. All the elements came together well in each bite. I do wish there was a bit more hollondaise dressing the plate as I had a few dry bites. All dishes ordered were well presented and didn't hear any complaints from the table. On the contrary, my friends who are local said they would be back. Coffee Ordered: Long black, latte, hot chocolate. The coffee was great. Balanced and flavourful. Coffee by little marionette, a Sydney roasted not far from here. The hot chocolate was a bit sweet for my taste, not sure what brand, but I would have a preferred a more distinct chocolate to match the rest of the specialty menu. Ambience: All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great cafe for families. Even saw a few turn it into there office, laptop and headphones out. The neighbourhood has decent parking and is well located.

Illy HIll is a cute, quaint little cafe opposite the Henson. There is a beautiful warmth and comfort inside and staff seem so relaxed yet attentive. The shakshuka is delicious, although I only wish there was more. Its gooey, tomato, and has a beautiful rich red colour that alot of others seem to lack. Loved the fetta and pepitas leaving it creamy and crunch as well. Stellar coffee also. More please. crumbs-au.com

I've been here a couple of times but whilst the food is nice, the service is really poor. Waited 25 mins to order, went and got my own menu and asked for water which took another ten mins to arrive. Left without ordering on this occasion. I understand that sometimes it gets busy, that's no problem! Just let people know there is a wait. It's also really disheartening to sit and wait whilst you see all the takeaway coffee customers getting served immediately. I wanted to order full breakfast and drinks but left to find a friendlier cafe.
