Plan your visitAbout Ergon 1
A leafy backyard courtyard in Gladesville offering house-made Greek pastries and hearty cafe fare. Tucked away along an industrial stretch of Buffalo Road, it turns car service waits into relaxed morning retreats. Patrons tuck into bacon, egg, and hash brown rolls or thick-cut club sandwiches, but the real pull is the bakery counter. Warm custard-filled bougatsa and flaky spanakopita anchor the menu alongside strong coffees served with a complimentary biscuit on the side.
- Garden Courtyard Retreat: A shaded, plant-filled outdoor escape tucked away behind an industrial Buffalo Road storefront.
- House-Baked Greek Pastries: Scratch-made Mediterranean baking features flaky spanakopita and warm, custard-layered bougatsa.
- Complimentary Coffee Treat: Baristas serve every espresso drink with a small complimentary biscuit or homemade cookie.

Doug Holstein House-Made Greek Specialty Baking
Prepares traditional house-made Greek pastries including freshly baked bougatsa and spanakopita alongside cafe classics.
I always adore a fresh made 'bougatsa' (traditional -brunch style- Greek pastry, consisting of custard: sweet, but amazing: the best in Sydney)
Despoina Danai Varey Substantial, Fresh Comfort Staples
Serves generous, freshly made comfort fare including classic club sandwiches, breakfast rolls, and seasoned chips.
The sandwich was made very well with a very nice toasted bread. The chips were seasoned very nicely and the whole serving was very filling.
Warren Thai Leafy Garden Courtyard Oasis
Features a leafy, peaceful garden courtyard that transports guests away from industrial and city bustle.
Been there a few times now and still love the ambience of the garden courtyard. Just so pleasant, especially on today's 30+ degrees hot day.
Paul Panetta (Paolo) Complimentary Biscuit with Every Coffee

Before you head over
Tips for getting the best out of your visit to Ergon 1
Head to the back garden courtyard
Tucked away on Buffalo Road near automotive service centers, head toward the back of the cafe to unwind in the leafy courtyard garden rather than waiting around nearby industrial bays.
Order the house-made Greek specialties
If you are visiting for coffee and a light bite or brunch, save room for traditional Greek bakery items like vegetarian spanakopita or sweet custard bougatsa.
Keep an eye out for the coffee cookie
Every coffee order arrives served with a small complimentary biscuit or homemade cookie on the side, making an extra sweet treat unnecessary if you just want a light accompaniment.
