The Baron, Castle Hill
From memory, the last time I was in Castle Hill shopping centre was about 10 years ago! The place is a frigging maze! I was lost and couldn’t get out to street level – my goodness!
There has been a lot of talk about The Baron which is located in Castle Hill – it is not in the shopping mall itself but on street level. The interior is quirky, open every day for breakfast and lunch and also turns into a bar with a separate menu on Friday and Saturday nights.
I was catching up with a few people; both S and I don’t live near the area so it was quite a trek for us, however, for H, it was only a few minutes’ drive!
Started with a Chai Latte which was nice but thought it was weak in flavour.
Both S and H had the mushrooms on toast with wilted baby spinach and Persian fetta ($9). I didn’t try any of this but both said that it was lacking ‘something’ some sort of dressing.
I had the scrambled eggs on toast ($9) with a side of bacon and avocado ($3 each). It was a generous serving, eggs were deliciously creamy and bacon were cooked to perfection!
I do love the vibe of the café, and service was friendly and efficient. Was it worth the 30 – 40 minutes’ drive, I am not sure – probably not! Mind you, if I was living in Surry Hills, it would probably have taken me longer and I am certain I can get something just as good, if not better around Surry Hills. Nevertheless, it’s good to have The Baron in Western / North Western / Hills District! Regardless, it was good to finally check out The Baron, go somewhere different and catch up with friends! I heard dinner is pretty good also!

I really enjoy The Baron. Being a westie I’m pleased at not having to schlep into town for a good cafe with a good vibe & nice food/coffee. I couldn’t find the cafe at first though, that damn shopping center.
