Contribute Feedback What Hilda Hauck likes about Parliament on King:
Unassuming and humble, a lovely atmosphere, interesting food and most of all interesting people. I can see great potential in this place. More of a community than an eating place, i'd say. Anyway, go there! View all feedback.
Oh so laid back, primarily, coffee shop on lower King Street. Like an old-fashioned den/library. I had a cappuccino in an old Delft porcelain cup while the kids ate cookies (no other cake option at the time). The Boomtown Rats were emoting/emitting from an old record player, which I quickly took charge of and replaced with Radiohead. We sat in old leather chairs, surrounded by cheap antiques, art books, classic novels on a shelf supported by a Ducati motorcycle and bits of sculpture, drawings and paintings. The guy serving, a politics student from Macquarie Uni, was friendly and conversational. A real little oasis of calm with the air of an Oxford professor's room. They hold life drawing classes on Thursday evenings for a tenner and as I paid made me roll a dice to determine the bill (the owner has brought in a new rule that if you roll a six your coffee is free). I rolled a two. Fab anyway.

Hours are unreliable. "maybe" and "around" and "hours vary a bit". Had we known, we would not have made the trip to an closed storefront.
