Tiny Giant - Petersham, Sydney

Tiny Giant in Petersham, occupying the former Grumpy Barista space, offers creative and visually stunning dishes in a minimalist, greenery-adorned setting. The menu features baked eggs, pea-smash toast with prosciutto and burrata, and cafe-style burgers, alongside imaginative sweet breakfast options. The standout dish, brioche toast adorned with bright-pink fairy floss, berries, and cinnamon ricotta, is not only visually captivating but also delicious, with a balanced mix of sweetness and nuttiness.
Owned by Gilbert and Debbie Colacicco, who have experience with Leichhardt Espresso and Rozelle Espresso, Tiny Giant has transformed the Instagram-worthy brioche dish into a weekend staple. Other visually appealing dishes include pulled pork buns with kumara crisps, eggs baked in tomato sugo with Danish feta, and cheese-sprinkled peas with creamy burrata and prosciutto. While the visual presentation enhances the dining experience, some elements, like the stylish drizzle of pesto, can overshadow the flavors.

The cafe serves Campos coffee, known for its easy-to-drink blend with a slight caramel undertone, complementing summer-friendly options like iced lattes and affogatos. Additionally, there are tea blends by T2 and smoothies, including a “detox smoothie” featuring avocado for a creamy, nutty twist. Despite its visually stunning offerings, Tiny Giant ensures that flavor and quality remain at the forefront, making it a must-visit destination for both foodies and Instagram enthusiasts alike.
