Wayne:

Let’s be honest, Lindfield is not exactly known for its great cafes, so what a refreshing surprise Goodfields Eatery is. And the fact that there's apparently lines out the door most weekends, we can see why the locals have embraced this lovely eatery. The décor is clean and simple and the service was super fast and friendly. Our waiter had the dry kind of humour that I always love. The menu is incredible, so many great options. I settled on the pulled pork burger, and pulled pork is like a drug to me – completely addictive. It was succulent, fresh and tasty. The chips it came are close to some of the best I have tasted in recent memory. I would happily eat that burger again and again. However, while the coffee was tasty and a good strength, I wasn’t overly fond of the bean; it barely left an aftertaste and didn’t have the mouthfeel I like when drinking a long black. But overall, this is a great eatery that people of Lindfield should be very happy to have in their neighbourhood.

Another day, another delicious suburban coffee shop. Goodfields is a relative newcomer to Lindfield an an exceptionally welcome addition. Weekend mornings can see eager locals queuing for the morning buzz alongside a quality breakfast. Wayne and I go however on a weekday when it is more mellow, but without a doubt still heavily frequented. We start by ordering our twin long blacks. Now with this my feelings are mixed.  It is a delicious nuanced organic blend, but it’s cleaness for me is both it’s strength and weakness (excuse my caffeine puns) The clean taste is gorgeous in the mouth but is gone as quickly as it comes leaving no lingering aftertaste. Still, an enjoyable cup. I order the stuffed zucchini flowers and they are heaven, filled with feta and ricotta, served with wild mushrooms, kale, pomegranate, labneh, poached eggs and chilli garlic masala. The vegetables are exceptionally fresh, bright and flavourful and the creamy labneh a real treat. A delicious, spicy blend of opposing textures and flavours. This is a light, bright cafe, tastefully decorated in muted colours and natural textures. The staff are friendly, attentive and take the time to chat. To me the human interaction in a cafe makes all the difference to the experience, and here Goodfields excels.
