Tucked away on Queen Street in St Marys, this cafe offers a calm and cosy spot that feels just right for everything from a solo coffee break to a relaxed brunch with friends. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with indoor and outdoor seating that lets you watch the neighbourhood’s quiet rhythm while you enjoy your meal.
Visitors often come for the solid coffee and thoughtful tea selection, paired naturally with hearty breakfast options and light lunches. Whether it’s a big brekky, a toasted sandwich, or a simple yet satisfying banana bread toasted, the menu stays focused on straightforward, well-prepared dishes. You’ll find savoury toasties and fresh salad sandwiches alongside the kind of small plates and quick bites that suit a relaxed weekday catch-up or a quick stop on the go.
The crowd tends to be a comfortable mix: locals dropping by for weekday coffee runs or weekend breakfasts, people looking for a friendly spot to work for a while, and families appreciating the kids’ menu and accessible facilities. The environment is bright and airy, making it easy to settle in without feeling rushed. The caring staff and laid-back vibe help make visits feel familiar, like a regular neighbourhood spot rather than just a cafe.

5 Great little cafe serving good coffee n food. Had the special (bacon and egg roll with coffee) upsized to large coffee. Bacon and egg roll was delicious. Plenty of bacon, 2 eggs and a lovely fresh breadroll. Plenty to choose from on the menu n very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.
5 Fernz cafe at st Mary's was a very pleasurable experience. Scott was very friendly and the coffee and food is to die for. It's a clean hygienic happy place to be. I have been coming here now to fernz cafe for 6 months and I'm greeted with open arms and a friendly hello everytime. THIS IS THE BEST COFFEE SHOP ON THE WEST!!! AAA+++
5 I'm a regular to Fernz. It's a great little cafe in St Mary's. Staff are friendly and accommodating. It's small but enough table for groups up to 4 available with outside seating an options. They have a small menu, but means they can deliver on good food. Coffee is on point with lots of options available to taste.
5 Super friendly and the food is to die for. Made it our weekly Saturday morning breakfast spot.
5 Fernz is my favourite local cafe. The food is awesome - we especially love the grilled chicken sandwich & their smashed avo on toast. Their prices are fair and reasonable for such large portions! Their coffee is amazing, and they have great quality non-dairy milk options available I.e., Bonsoy and Milk Lab. The atmosphere is light and airy where you can watch Queen St from inside and out. Lovely customer service too. I can’t recommend this place enough!
4 So I found this little spot on Queen St, St Marys. Greeted on arrival. Clean and well maintained. Old school vibes. Plenty of seating inside and out. I ordered the big breakfast where I started with a coffee. I actually spilt it half way through where staff quickly came out, cleaned it up and replaced it free of charge. Very friendly staff there. Breaky came out on a large plate which made the meal look smaller in the pic. Although presentation could use some work, it was delicious and fulfilling. Simple when done well can still go a long way in my books. To add, it was the cheapest big breakfast I’ve had in Sydney. Let me know what you think if you’re ever in the area. Thanks Fernz! See you again soon
