Hands down one of the best bacon and eggs rolls I've had in a long time. Worth leaving Sydney for.... $12 for standard coffee and B&E roll, add $1 for a hash brown and if want to upgrade coffee cup size. Brilliant brekky!

We were visiting Wollongong and came across this cafe on the main shopping street. I loved the vibes of the cafe and appreciate the cleanliness of the tabletops and cutlery. Many choices of Pakathan fillings were offered and I ordered a less spicy version. My 11 year old daughter said she found the best bacon-and-egg roll here! My other kid ordered a chicken wrap which is just delicious. Staff are very friendly and we will surely come again in our next visit!

The Easy Agile team and I tried all of the local cafes after moving to the Wollongong CBD. None even came close to the quality of coffee and, most importantly, the friendliness of the staff at Tally-Ho. We are now happy regulars.

Food was great, service exceptional - fresh juice made from orange, lemon, turmeric and honey was the BOMB!!!... but I won't disclose the secrets for the sake of the business ;) but I implore you to go there and try it yourself! I had mushrooms and fetta on toast, but what they did with the bread and a very common condiment used as a spread made me want to eat this every day... so A++ My partner had Eggs Benedict which was done superbly. Quite possibly the best we have had which is many so another A++ there. Overall this was a 50/50 decision to even have a quick bite before exploring and having dinner, I'm happy for us to have gone in, sat down, in a quaint but very trendy cafe that pleasantly surprised both of us with the quality of the food and comfort in dining there not to forget the extraordinary and friend service. Will definitely be back! All in all 5/5

The new management is so warm and friendly. Absolutely loved their in-house made samosas and the tea reminded me of home (for real). But the start of the evening was their green chutney (it’s not your average mint sauce and i loved that hahah). Would love to try new items on every frequent visit now. Glad something indian-street-style opened in the city central.w

The staff was not only excellent but also incredibly friendly, making the atmosphere warm and inviting. From the moment I stepped in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. I highly recommend Tally Ho!
