    Unlike many Sydney cafes, groups can easily split their bills at the counter without hassle or delay.

  • Acai Bowl

    CSK makes the best Acai bowls in Sydney. Their rest of the menu is exceptional too. We regularly go there (almost twice or sometimes thrice a week) and mainly get the Acai bowls, and never got disappointed.
