Haven - Surry Hills

Great vibe, great service and excellent coffee!!! Perfect for buzzy sunday brunch! Recommend black ink pasta and slowed cooked pork belly kimchi burger.

If you like your coffee super strong, with the aroma of coffee beans wafting from your mug, then this the place to be.

Haven is a kitsch little cafe near central that is all about the coffee.

We dined in here on a Groupon deal without the need to book ahead, which is already a big plus. The courteous staff had us seated in no time and got our orders. My wife ordered the Chicken Attack. She loved the tenderness of the chicken and the assortment of flavor and texture assembled in the dish. I helped her finish it up because the serving was huge, and we are not complaining. For me was the Eel-ness, and the tenderness of the eel was really sick. It's a melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a crispy, flavorful skin. It blended right with the creaminess of the egg and cheese. The Bayomba fruity blend tea tasted unique in a good way too. Sadly, we had no room for dessert as we were both full and much satisfied. Will definitely go back here if there's a chance.

I have been to this lovely cafe quite a few times mainly because of their awesome mocha, delicious menu and super convenient location right outside Central station. If you like kimchi, the signature pork belly kincheese burger is definitely worth trying. My favourite though is the grilled eel with tofu scrambled egg and black rice cake.
