About The Missing Piece Macquarie Centre

Level 3 concourse dining with serious specialty coffee and Mediterranean-accented brunch dishes, set well clear of Macquarie Centre's noisy food court. Perched right outside Uniqlo and David Jones, it offers an airy reset from retail chaos. Espresso and batch brew run on a La Marzocco Strada S with Industry beans, while the at-table QR setup lets you tweak scrambled eggs or build breakfast your own way without hovering floor staff. Regulars point to the spiced shakshuka and the crab and prawn linguine, washed down with a cold lemonade mocktail.

  • Serious Coffee Hardware: Pulling Industry beans via espresso and batch brew on a La Marzocco Strada S alongside Mahlkönig grinders.
  • Concourse Respite: Breezy Level 3 open-air mall concourse outside Uniqlo and David Jones, detached from food court congestion.
  • Frictionless QR Ordering: Tableside digital ordering allows granular tweaks to meals and beverages without waiting on waitstaff.

  • Stress-Free Digital Customization

    The tableside scan-and-order interface enables diners to customize meals and drinks granularly at their own pace without feeling rushed.

    Their scan and order were perfect for my friend and I as we could change our meals and drinks however we wanted.

  • A Calm Reset from Retail Frenzy

    Guests escape the overwhelming sensory overload of the shopping mall concourses to decompress over quality drinks and food.

    A great way to just reset amongst the craziness that can be Macquarie centre.

  • Relief from Ordering Pressure

    Browsing the digital menu directly at the table eliminates decision paralysis and social pressure while settling in for lunch.

    It takes the stress out of trying to remember what to order or the dreaded decision paralysis.

  • Sheltered from Busy Food Courts

    Located on Level 3 outside Uniqlo and David Jones, the cafe offers an open-air concourse setting far removed from noisy communal food courts.

    We love that it isn’t in a noisy food court and yet close enough to all our favourite shops.
