We really enjoyed this Cafe. in the area to do some Geocaching and enjoy the area. Meals were wonderful and reasonably priced, about the same as most Sydney cafes... The food and service made it more than acceptable. The staff are very friendly and even allowed our dog in the outside area and gave her a bowl to drink from :) this pleased us greatly. We look forward to coming back again. What an amazing children's play area, if only I was 20 years younger lol.

While it is a nice place, the position is just beuatiful beside the Parramatta River in a nut shell, it's just a cafe and seemed a tad over rated. The proceedure to book a table was like booking at a 4 star restuarant. The staff were very friendly, the service and meal was excellent, but seemed over priced for what the cafe is. With some great parkland near by it's a great meeting place for families. Could do with some better cover outside especially when it's raining, there wasn't anyplace outside to stand and wait without getting wet.

Great place for breakfast or lunch on a nice day. We cycled here to meet up with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed having breakfast here. The lazy Saturday morning breakfast was the perfect thing to do to break up the bike ride there and back. I ordered baked eggs and a hot chocolate which were both winners. The Saturday morning crowd consisted of young families, older couples and of course... cool kids like us.

If you are cycling in or around Homebush, it's worth making the trip out here for a meal.

On a beautiful Saturday morning- there is nothing like a leisurely breakfast with friends. Set in the premises of the Homebush Parklands the lush grasslands and glistening water form a gorgeous backdrop to this army inspired cafe. Modern, yet true to its name- this cafe has a large open air area shaded by camo nets (for anyone who has served the army- this may bring back memories). THe service was friendly and prompt- Baked eggs and chorizos served in the pan, Traditional English breakfast with thickly cut toast, mushrooms, tomatoes and complimented with warm loose leaf earl grey tea.
This place is popular with families with young children, and with the parklands in the same vicinity I would also recommend to bring your bikes and a picnic rug. There is plenty of parking and if you don't have your own bike- there's a rental store nearby. With breakfast items priced at around $14 this place is good value. Overall, a relaxing experience and my friends and I are happy to have found another venue to have breakfast.
Hint: You can book a table online to make sure you and your family/friends get a spot!

All paths in an idyllic locale seem to lead to this airy and historic cafe.

WE SHOULD have brought our bikes. At least, we should have strapped them to the back of the car so we could pretend to blend into the sea of wheels and lycra that ripples through the Armory Wharf Cafe on a Sunday morning. The colours and patterns of the riders' outfits are striking but even they are no match for the beautiful spot where this cafe is located. The light plays softly on the Parramatta River, the mangroves stir gently on the foreshore opposite and the solicitous architecture that houses the cafe weaves everything harmoniously into a meditative mood. The Armory Wharf Cafe is where armaments and munitions were unloaded before being stored at the Newington Armory in the late 19th century.
