Hey everyone my name is Hilly, I am one of the creatives here at Hey You HQ. I wear many hats, I'm a photographer, dabble in design, and jump in on some writing for my beloved Hey You app.

I love working for Hey You and for my team. I'm really passionate about our Technology, our merchants, and of course our amazing customers who use the app everyday—you all rock.

Danielle, my best friend at Hey You, has been running these top five venue blogs,
but I’m going to switch it up and name my top five suburban venues on the Hey You app, so let's jump into it.

My top five suburban venues on the Hey You app

First Drop Cafe - Redfern

Where do I start with this amazing cafe? They have everything I want: friendly operators, delicious coffee, combos that are fairly-priced, sandwiches, burgers and the best thing of all, TUGA Pastries (So those delicious portuguese tarts!) They have it all and the best part is they’re opening up a second cafe in Marrickville soon—HEAVEN.

Shuk - Multiple Locations

This is my go-to when I'm wrapping up a Bronte to Bondi walk with my puppy. They provide great coffee and even better food. I’m a sucker for their Shuk Falafel Wrap, their pastries, and their sandwiches (they always hit different!). Pro-tip: order some bread that they bake for the house or office—you won’t regret it.

SML Cafe - Willoughby

This place pumps and for good reason. They’re basically slinging coffee at a ridiculous rate to their community and they can’t get enough of it. Their Avo & Egg Roll with their hashbrown is on another level and I can't wait to go back to order the rest of the menu.

Zenius Cafe - Chippendale

Enzen could be the greatest latte art barista on earth, no cap. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he could draw my face in a delicious latte from his cafe. Everytime I order from this cafe, they just blow me away with their quality, taste, and impeccable friendly service.

Bar Lucio - Kensington

Really love an authentic Italian cafe and Bar Lucio is exactly as advertised. They have a wonderful pastry offering, yummy paninis, and delicious coffee. What more do you need? Maybe a second custard bombolone because I can't get enough of one.

Wow, that was so hard to put together because there's so many more venues that are doing their absolute best to serve delicious coffee and food at an extremely high level.

We also look forward to visiting our beautiful partners around Australia and giving you our top 5 in each state but ‘til then, hope this list helps you as a good starting point to jump on the Hey You app and order coffee and food ahead.
