Wow! Just WOW! Of course, that isn't enough, right?
First off, there's plenty of parking albeit on the streets. Easy peasy, and once you're there, walk towards the water...lovely Hines on every street, beautiful flowers as you walk.
The Tea Garden is inside a child-safety gate and once you walk through, you'll see cafe seating outside facing the water views and hear birds singing. There's also indoor seating, which is just adorable and vintage.
My friend and I each had cappuccino and we shared a tomato bruschetta. Both excellent! Service is incredible, too. I'm sorry now I did not get our server's name but suffice it to say he was friendly to the max! Prices are moderate and fair.
Adjacent to the cafe is the Watson's Bay branch of the Woollahra Public Library. Also vintage-y and warm and welcoming. I can see myself going not only again but often!! Comfy seating, computers for use with a reservation and they even have a 'help yourself to some knitting'!
Tea Garden! I will definitely be back and you should go, too! You'll thank me for it later! -

This is one of our favourites when coming home to Sydney annually. Sitting outside during good weather is heavenly. Food is casual and authentically Italian, and price is very reasonable. Service is great. Highly recommend, and will surely come back again.
Btw, at the time of visit ie March 10,2019, payment was cash only, fyi. -

Pretty, kinda quaint and bang smack on the water, this harbourside café is great for a long family lunch. Send the kids off to swim in the enclosed harbour swimming pool, or let them run riot in the shade of majestic fig trees at neighbouring Robertson Park... while you attempt to get some peace. Good luck with that though. This place is as kid friendly as it gets, complete with high chairs, kid's menu, baby chinos, change rooms, and even boxes of toys in the play area. So if you're in the mood for canoodling, don't come here. Italian style fare isn't super cheap, but there are some affordable alternatives, and tasty vego dishes. There's no liquor licence but you're welcome to BYO. Corkage is a mere $1.50. All in all it's pretty relaxed, if you're immune to children. Make a day of it and catch the ferry to and from this thriving summer hotspot.
