Visited this cozy little Café in Glebe during lunch on a Saturday. It was moderately busy with plenty of seating available. Service was excellent (super friendly and helpful) and food and drinks came pretty quickly. We ordered from the All Day Breakfast menu: the Big Breakfast and the Shakshuka. Both dishes were delicious and definitely more than enough for us. The coffee from Toby's Estate was great and so was the hot chocolate. This Café offers outdoor as well as indoor seating with small and large tables (great for families). Fully accessible with on-street parking (paid). Great atmosphere. Good place for a quick or longer breakfast and lunch. Definitely recommend Dispensary 1908 Cafe!

Nice, no-nonsense place. My family and I went in for lunch and quite enjoyed the quirky setting in an old building. Service was friendly, and the lady serving us was quick and attentive. Of the dishes we ordered, the Angus beef burger and the fish and chips were good. My wife however, found her Portuguese chicken burger a tad try. The drinks were properly chilled. Overall, a good meal and it didn't drill a hole in our pockets.

We visited this café for dinner this evening and were absolutely blown away. My partner had the salmon and I had the fish and chips — both dishes were cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The service was 5* But the true showstopper was the sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce. As a couple originally from the UK and now living in Australia for the past nine years, this dessert transported us straight back home. It’s easily one of the best desserts we’ve had anywhere in Australia. We left with full bellies and a smile. Highly recommend!
