Crispy chicken & creamy mushroom plate were fantastic—the chicken was perfectly crispy, the baby potatoes were tender and well-seasoned, and the creamy sauce was savory and rich. Yakiniku chicken roll looked incredible, Paired with the visually striking and refreshing layered iced drinks, this was a great meal. The service was excellent

Such a cozy and minimalist café — perfect for a slow morning or weekend brunch. Their Rhythm coffee was amazing — smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced between bitterness and sweetness. It’s the kind of drink that makes you slow down and enjoy the moment. We also tried some brunch dishes like the crispy potatoes with chicken and asparagus, mushroom toast, and spicy sausage toast — all beautifully presented and full of flavor. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully made. The outdoor seating under the trees gave a really calm and relaxing vibe. Definitely a spot worth revisiting for both coffee and food lovers.

A brunch worth the buzz!!!! We visited Algorithm Café Potts Point on a gorgeous sunny Saturday, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Yes, the queue was a bit long but totally worth it. The staff kept things flowing smoothly, and we were seated within half an hour, sipping on their complimentary refreshing Iced Raspberry Earl Grey while we waited. Such a thoughtful touch! Once seated, we dove into a feast of flavours: the Chorizo & Chilli Eggs packed a punch, the Signature Chicken Sandwich was perfectly balanced, and the Mushroom Dish was earthy and comforting. The Yakiniku Chicken Roll and Salmon Bagel were fresh and satisfying, and the drinks such as Rhythm Coffee and Matchappreso were spot on. We couldn’t resist the sweets either e.g. the Banana Loaf, Milk Choc Cookie, and Matcha White Choc Cookie were all delicious. Every bite was a hit, and we left feeling full, happy, and impressed. The ambience is warm and lively, the service attentive, and the food quality top-notch. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a standout brunch spot in Sydney. We will definitely be back! Thank you, Algorithm Team!! Well done!!

Algorithm Café surprised me in the best way. We’ve tried a few drinks already, and honestly, all the ones with cream on top are such a gem. The salted caramel matcha crunch is my current favourite. It isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience. It’s not your standard matcha; the caramel adds this smooth sweetness, and the crunchy bits make it kind of addictive. The chorizo egg was bold and comforting at the same time, with just the right kick of flavour. The café itself has this laid-back, creative vibe that makes you want to slow down and actually enjoy what you’re eating. On top of that, the people and hospitality are what really make this place special. Definitely coming back!

Trying one of the highest-rated coffee spots on Google, turns out the owner’s Indonesian! Rhythm is seriously one of the best cream cold brews I’ve ever had, and the truffle scrambled eggs were so good! Also, thanks for the free raspberry tea!

Fresh ingredients and deliciously crafted food and drinks! The atmosphere is calm and the service is so genuine. The latte was great, and the cheesy butternut toastie’s flavour and texture was amazing - crunchy, soft and sweet. I tried the Iced Raspberry Early Grey and that was so refreshing, perfect for Spring or Summer. I look forward to trying their homemade baked goods next time. A very impressive new family run business for Kings Cross! Only sad thing is I am not a local. I highly recommend this cafe to people in the area.

Great drinks, good food and friendly service. Considering we had to wait for a table, it was still relatively efficient and flexible service (indoor or outdoor seating). In a main road but nice when the suns out. The drinks are DIVINE and must try the specials. They have a tiramisu special ATM which I’m gutted I didn’t try but the standard rhythm and matchaspresso were still yummy and dangerously good for first coffee of the day. Mushroom dish was better than the signature chicken sarnie. Second visit; I just came for the pandan choc scroll. . Bit sweet for first thing in the morning but no regrets nonetheless!!

I would love to give a 6-star review if I can! Coming from Melbourne, trying this little gem that I have been saving in my list a while ago and it didn’t disappoint me at all. Drinks are great and the staffs are even better! Loved everything so I’m definitely coming back if I come to Sydney again
