A nice little cafe right near Green Square station. Their menu is simple, but varied with something for everyone. You can get soft shell crab on toast, which looked huge and my friend enjoyed. I got a yummy warm brekky bowl, done vegetarian and it was very tasty. Other interesting options on the menu were the fried chicken, salmon bowl, truffle mushrooms, whilst also having basic options like bacon and egg rolls and avocado on toast. Friendly service with decent coffee to boot. Worth stopping by, if you're in the area.

So good! We were looking for a good coffee and a bite to eat and we struck gold at this cool little cafe. We had the Avo and toast and the Super Bowl with no extras. I'll be going back and have no hesitation recommending.

Our group of 25 people visited Social Society and we were blown away! The staff went above and beyond — from helping us pre-order to making sure everything ran smoothly on the day. The food and drinks were next-level good, beautifully presented, and honestly far better than we expected for such a big booking. Service was fast, friendly, and personal. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you to Peri and the whole team! We'll definitely be returning when in Sydney.

Invited to this cute little spot in Zetland and decided to give it a go — so glad we did. It’s one of those places where the menu is full of fun surprises but also delivers the classics. We both had eggs your way, and while simple, they were done so well & perfectly cooked, buttery toast, generous portions. Sometimes that’s all you want, and they nailed it. The highlight? Tim Tam latte. YES. You read that right. Like drinking a melted Tim Tam, but still somehow not overly sweet. Dreamy. Tucked in among the apartment blocks but worth finding, friendly service, playful vibe, and definitely somewhere I’d return to for brunch (or dessert disguised as coffee). Would 100% go back to try more of the menu — the pancakes looked outrageous.

I recently visited Social Society Café after having it on my list for some time, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I ordered the Chili Crab Eggs with the additional avocado, the dish was generously portioned and presented, perfectly balanced in flavour. Each component complemented the other. We also ordered the Salmon Eggs Benedict, which was equally well-prepared with fresh ingredients and a generous serving of smoked salmon. The café has a stylish, inviting aesthetic that makes it a great choice for a weekend brunch with friends. While the pricing is on the premium side, with additional surcharges applying on weekends, the quality of the food and overall experience make it a worthwhile visit. Also to note is the difficulty in securing street parking.
