MCA Cafe

Coffee with a scenic Sydney view? MCA cafe is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of flat white while overlooking the magnificent Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Located at the top floor of the Museum of Contemporary Art MCA, the cafe offered brunch and lunch menu. They have gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan options. We ordered flat white, mocha and long black with a caramel mud cake on the side. Although the coffee and dessert was pretty good; it is definitely the view that makes this place unique. Near the entrance, there was a free exhibition that you can enjoy as well. We recommend to come during the day so you can indulge on the outstanding view of Sydney.

One of the best coffee. View was spectacular, staff were friendly and weather was wild so coffee was the best friend on that day. Recommended MCA cafe whether it might be breakfast, brunch or lunch. They practice Covid safe and order and payment all is contact less system. You won’t regret going there at least for the spectacular view of harbour bridge and opera house.

This can be easily 5 stars cafe! The best view in Sydney and amazing menu selection. At night, even more beautiful. Only one thing, we don’t expect a friendly staff very slow service, though it is definitely my favorite cafe in Sydney for sure

Spectacular view overlooking the Opera House and harbour which is the main highlight of the the venue. To improve the customer experience, new customers should be told about their flexible ordering options: they can order online at the table by scanning a QR code or if they choose to order at the counter, they’ll need to choose a table number to bring to the counter so their order can be allocated to that table number at the time of ordering. For an even better and simpler experience, wait staff should ditch this process altogether and give customers a table number once they get to the counter. The food was was average and over priced. Customer service can be improved.

The view was the biggest highlight; it was beautiful! The pesto linguine was tasty, but for $18, I found the portion a bit small. The staff was friendly and promptly gave us a new table when it started raining and we were seating on the outdoor table. Overall, I had a great time at MCA Cafe, and would recommend it before or after a visit of the museum!

Great place to chill and the views are awesome. Get a window seating and you can watch the Quay walks live. Service was good and fast. Food was not all that great but it was still very busy.

Nice food and atmosphere. The view is stunning, especially when the weather is sunny. You can see Sydney harbour bridge and opera house. The food is ok with reasonable price. The customer service is great, friendly staff.

I had lunch at the cafe around 2.30 pm on a Saturday, it was a relatively nice day and the Place was packed. Staff was really friendly and good turn around of tables. Menu was affordable and the view amazing. Loved my Poked bowl, my partner didn’t like the banh mi, bread wasn’t good and flavour didn’t taste Vietnamese so big disappointment there although the rest of the menu seems really nice too. Food arrived quickly and it seemed to be really well organised. I would come back there for breakfast next time I come to Sydney

The food is good but really you’re paying for the view of the harbour! Topped off brekky with some mimosas. Definitely a busy spot so try and get there early to secure a spot for a good view. We probably wouldn’t have gone to the MCA if not for hearing about this cafe, so was a really unique experience all round.Recommended dishesSmashed Avocado

If you go anywhere to eat or drink in circular quay go here. Such a wonderful view and brilliant atmosphere. You get a beautiful view of harbour bridge and Sydney opera house and the food is quite decent and not to pricey. I really enjoyed it here that I went back.
