The Cross Eatery - Sydney, Sydney

Cross Eatery, located in Sydney’s business district, stands out from typical coffee spots with its commitment to quality and creativity. Founded by Marcelo Soto, a former barista at Mecca, the cafe aims to offer an oasis in the city, housed in the spacious lobby of the heritage Red Cross building. The menu boasts fresh and innovative combinations, from ciabatta rolls filled with Maffra cheddar and ricotta to bio-dynamic lamb kofta with spicy tomato salsa.

Breakfast options range from grab-and-go Brickfields sourdough toast to heartier dishes like baked eggs with pine mushrooms and kale. The cafe also offers an all-day salad featuring probiotic cabbage, kale, and poached egg, along with kombucha on tap. Ingredients are carefully sourced, with gluten-free bread from Nonni’s Fine Food and meats from Feather and Bone, ensuring transparency and traceability back to the producers.

Cross Eatery’s interior exudes a chic and bright atmosphere with minimalist design, providing a clean and relaxing space to enjoy gourmet salads, sandwiches, and signature breakfast bowls. The cafe’s dedication to sustainability is evident through its display of photos and stories of farmers, offering diners a glimpse into the origins of their meals. Whether for an express lunch, award-winning coffee, or a leisurely lunch break, Cross Eatery offers a wholesome and satisfying dining experience in the heart of the CBD.
