Is there a Sydney laneway cafe as popular as Pina? The rollicking menu of sandwiches, salads, soft-bun burgers and eggy brunches pull a constant crowd, with the classic omelette and gigantic sourdough pancake claiming the high ground. Owners Andrew Hardjasudarma and Yuvi Thu are just as dedicated to drinks, from the bang-on Mecca coffee and ceremonial grade matcha to an Arnold Palmer sparkling iced tea that sings with summer vibes.
