I was having a fabulous time until I was asked to be moved from my two person table to the bar the third time. I told the staff that I was waiting for someone to meet me. I had eaten, had a coffee, a beer and was ordering another. I was clearly providing business to them, but because I was alone at the time, I wasn't important enough to keep my table.

Inner city sanctuary from bland wankiness that dominates this part of town.  Great coffee, good place for interesting conversations and decent tunes

Rude Staff. Staff were cold and rude. With so many amazing cafés in Sydney this is certainly one I will not be returning to.

Marlowe's Way is a cozy and friendly cafe that offers excellent coffee and breakfast options. The atmosphere is described as comfortable and inviting, with a great vibe and fantastic service. The cafe has a retro touch with vinyl music playing all day, adding to the overall cool ambiance. Customers rave about the delicious coffee, particularly highlighting the rich and full-bodied flavors. The cafe also offers a variety of food options, including gluten-free toast and small plates. Despite some mixed reviews about service and menu availability, Marlowe's Way seems to be a hidden gem worth checking out for a quality coffee experience in a unique setting blending Italian and hipster influences.
