Other published opinions
The Age Cheap Eats 2006 Gypsies Cafe executes a familiar formula in a particularly pleasant way. Basic all-day brekkie options are complemented by a huge blackboard menu, but the waiters are happiest when asked simply for a Big Warm Hug (aka porridge with honey and fruit).
The Age Cheap Eats 2005 "GYPSIES rushes out mountainous meals to bury the morning-after hunger of Smith Street locals. The blackboard menu lists great all-day breakfasts and lunch specials"
The Age, Sunday Life, 14/12/03, Roslyn Grundy,'Gypsies has a following for its all day breakfasts, salads,souvlakis and towering burgers (the Greek version comes with tzatziki and fetta in an olive bun).The focus is on freshness and value rathen than chichi decor.'
