Dymocks Cafe
In the Heart of Sydney
428 George Street, Sydney NSW 2000
A Sydney Institution
Nestled on the mezzanine of Sydney's iconic Dymocks building, our cafe has been a George Street favourite since 1994. Surrounded by heritage art deco lamps, black-and-white photographs, and the warm hum of the bookshop below, it's a place where literary charm meets European comfort.
Our menu draws on Mediterranean and Eastern European traditions — from handmade piroshki and pelmeni to shakshouka, crepes, and classic cafe favourites. Whether you're popping in for a quick coffee or settling into a booth for a long lunch, you'll feel right at home.
