The Age Cheap Eats 2010 Score: ** "This feel-good little boho cafe presents a fine face to the world: a long display cabinet bursting with quiches, pies, tarts and salads, topped by an abundance of slices, muffins and bikkies"
The Age Cheap Eats 2009 "The smudged blackboard behind the counter heralds a cafe that takes its oft-tweaked breakfast menu seriously"
The Age Cheap Eats 2008 "Want to feel like you're having a weekend every day? Head to this chilled spot for home-style cooking and a deadline-free vibe"
The Age Cheap Eats 2007 "First, you'll notice the cakes - a fabulous display of goodies ranging from chocolate crackles and jelly cakes to wickedly rich cheesecakes and fruit-laden pavlovas."
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 Bars and cafes might be fighting for favour in the lower reaches of Sydney Road, but there's no shortage of New Brunswickers at Green Refectory.
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "THIS new kid on the block is fast earning a reputation for primo coffee and comestibles, served in saintly surrounds. Antique tables, church pews and upholstered theatre chairs have transformed this oncerundown bookshop into a bright hub for students and Brunswick locals."
