Cafe 26 Arndell Park sits quietly on Holbeche Rd, serving as both a casual cafe and a lunch spot with a distinctly local flair. It’s a place where you can easily drop in for a well-crafted coffee during a midweek break or settle in for a relaxed lunch, particularly if you have a taste for hearty, flavourful dishes beyond the usual cafe fare.

The atmosphere here strikes a balance between laid-back and lively. Locals and workers nearby typically come through around the morning or lunchtime rush, drawn not only by the quality coffee but also by the promise of substantial meals like the chicken gozleme or the country fried chicken burger. Fridays bring an added layer of buzz – the outdoor barbecue gets fired up, drawing crowds who come for the charcoal-grilled gyros and mixed plates with tender, marinated meats. This weekly event adds a social pulse to the spot, creating a casual gathering that blends good food with friendly local chatter.

The food carries a tangible sense of care and tradition, especially noticeable in the Greek plates and burgers that focus on rich, satisfying flavours. The chicken and lamb options are particularly noted for being juicy and well marinated, reflecting a slow preparation approach that customers appreciate. If you’re waiting on a nearby appointment or just want to linger over something tasty, the staff are approachable and welcoming, often engaging in friendly conversation that makes the visit feel more personal.

Visitors should plan for a weekday coffee run to enjoy the quieter side of the cafe or join on a Friday afternoon or evening for a heartier meal by the spit. The indoor seating area is relaxed but efficiently managed even when busy, and the Friday BBQ creates a vibe that suits anyone looking for a lively yet unpretentious local hangout. Ideal for those who appreciate good coffee, no-nonsense lunch options, and a chance to tap into a small community vibe while waiting, working, or catching up with friends.

Top notch friendly and fast service, the place is packed and we don't even have to wait that long for the food... The meat is pre marinated 4 days in advance and cooked on charcoal... The chicken and lamb that we had were full of flavour and very tender and so delicious... The best Greek I had so far... This place is highly recommended... Pls pay a visit and U will luv it...

Hands down one of the BEST cafés I’ve ever been to! The staff are beyond friendly and welcoming, and the owners make you feel like family every time you walk in. The food is next level – absolutely delicious and consistently amazing. And their Friday barbecue meats? Out of this world! If you’re looking for a café that has incredible food, the warmest vibes, and people who genuinely care, this is the place. I’m so glad I found this gem!

A great place for Brekkie or Lunch! The price is slightly higher, especially when it’s located in industrial area and many workers need to have lunch. However with comparison with portion and taste, you won’t regret for price. $20 over for a burger combo - it’s above average price, but they provide with plate full of chips. (Everytime time I can’t eat that much chips). Even when Maccas and KFC replaced Iceberg Lettuce with Cabbage, they never did. Gyros is the best.
