Duke's Lounge
Sydney, Australia
User Reviews
This has been my regular for some time now!
Duke\'s provided my intro to Número Uno coffee. The coffee is always consistently good! Staff are friendly! They make a mean bacon and egg roll too! Great for Sunday mornings!
The cafe has some real character too. Highly refreshing for the otherwise dull coffee culture in Randwick!
A fabulous friendly place, serving great coffee, and the friendliest staff in the eastern suburbs.
Coffee is consistently good, smooth and an obvious passion for the owner and barista, Duke. The breakfasts I have had here have been more than ample to keep me sustained for the day.
The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, a great place to catch up on the newspapers, escape the office and enjoy a second, or third, coffee!
Superb Coffee, Exceptional service. Great team of friendly staff and excellent value for money. What more do you want from a passionate cafe?
First impressions:
This cafe is located on Avoca st. Randwick which during the weekday is a road less walked compared to Belmore rd. However Duke's Lounge holds it's own. It's inviting for all types of clientelle from young to old, what ever life style you follow. I say this because they have such a diverse design element to the atmosphere. There's a Motorcycle in the window. They have contemporary artwork on the wall. A beautiful chrome 'chandelier' ...
The staff are friendly, you can't dispute that, they prolly make Dukes the most welcoming cafe in Randwick.
Coffee was ok, but nothing to rave about. They need to take a leaf out of the Fresh Ground (on nearby Belmore rd) book, who also use Numero Uno coffee, but make a great cup of it.
A sign on the window once did said they were open at nights but when we've gone passed, a couple of times now, they've been closed???
Duke's is a bright and airy establishment and all the staff are friendly and so attentive. Ordered a massive plate of beautiful, creamy eggs benedict and washed it down with a hot, aromatic mocha latte and a sublime peppermint tea.
Great service, great value (espeically those gigantic $6 bacon and egg rolls. WOW)
and great food. I'll be back!!
Arrived here shortly before 10am on a Sunday morning. Greeted by two staff, including Duke who is the owner/manager. They had no difficulty finding me a table as I was the only customer there.
Seemed to be a total of four staff on the premises - two front of house and two in the kitchen. Needless to say, with a 4:1 staff:customer ratio, I was looked after pretty well service-wise. Duke seemed to genuinely care about the customer experience as he cleared my table an asked me for feedback.
Oh - the EPIC bacon and egg roll represented spectacular value at $6. Very tasty accompaniment to my co...
