About Wayne's Place

Wayne's Place reimagines morning dining in Leichhardt, pairing fine-dining flair with genuine family warmth. The kitchen skips standard cafe formulas for scratch-built precision—think handmade hash browns crisp from the pan, house-crafted chilli, and breakfast rolls loaded with chorizo and sharp house salsa. Regulars grab a table under the lime tree in the sheltered courtyard for plates of grilled lamb backstrap or crunchy zucchini and halloumi fritters alongside a pulled espresso.

  • Scratch-made cafe specials: The kitchen builds staples from scratch, turning out handmade hash browns, house-made sauces, and inventive plates like lamb backstrap.
  • Sheltered garden courtyard: Guests can unwind across three distinct setups: roadside alfresco tables, the indoor room, or a sheltered courtyard planted with fruit trees.

  • House-Crafted Scratch Preparations

    The kitchen crafts its own elements in-house, such as handmade hash browns and scratch sauces that bring distinct character to everyday staples.

    The hash browns are hand made, not frozen and were lovely. The chilli was also handmade and you could taste every ingredient.

  • Flexible Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

    Guests can choose between a covered garden courtyard, main floor dining, or kerbside seating suited for solo focus or relaxed catch-ups.

    The covered court yard, main floor, or kerb-side alfresco seating gave me a choice based on what felt nicest at the time.

  • Hot chocolate

    The hot chocolate was also great, just the right temperature and clearly not the big standard chocolate mix you get in most cafes.
