About Us

Est 2017. Up at 4am since.

A family-run cafe on Riverside Road, cooking for the trades and factory shifts of Chipping Norton before most of Sydney is awake.

The family

Opened 17 July 2017

Euro Cafe Riverside is a family business. Richard opened the doors in July 2017 and has run the counter since, with a crew that has been part of the place for years.

You will find him on the tools most mornings. The van out the front is his, the schnitzels are crumbed in his kitchen, and the coffee is Design Roast because that is the roaster he chose.

Richard and crew are first-rate in every aspect of Cafe food, service and satisfaction. One of the best examples of how to do it in miles...

The 4am start

Doors open before the sun

Riverside Road is an industrial strip. The people who work here start early, so we do too. Doors open at 4am Monday to Friday, the coffee machine is hot, and the breakfast rolls are going out the door while it is still dark.

By 7am the first rush is on. By 9am it is the second. From 11am to 1pm it is lunch, and at 2pm we close and start again tomorrow.

Absolutely awesome service from the crew. Love a good morning coffee from there especially when they open at 4am

The room

Black tile, stainless steel, a long salad bar

Glossy black subway tile behind the counter, stainless benches, glass shelves and the menu boards up on the wall. Everything on the salad bar is made in the morning, and it is refilled through the day.

Glass shelves, coffee syrups and cups above the stainless counter

Great Coffee, and super friendly staff. Extremely clean and nice fresh food, snitzels even made on the premises not frozen ones!

Portions are generous and freshly cooked to perfection. Staff are friendly and helpful coffee was also good. Cafe was clean and well lit with ample of seating spaces. Hidden Gem in the area.

The regulars

Tradies, factory crews, and the bike ride

Most of the faces at the counter are the same ones every week. Work boots at 5am, hi-vis at 7am, lycra on the weekend loop, and the office crowd at lunch.

Location is perfect for industrial area customers but also those in the know who want a good feed early in the morning.

Love this place, we stop here nearly every morning on our bike ride. Plenty of parking. Lot's of outdoor seating... The COFFEE here is the best in Chipping Norton.
