Bagels boiled and baked on the premises? You're in the right place. Tucked into the wilds of Darlington, a stone's throw from Sydney uni and Eveleigh Markets, Cafe Ella is packing in the locals for their good-value big brekkies (complete with eggs any way, crispy bacon and salad), roast beef rolls and trademark lentil soup. Order at the counter, then sneak out to the covered courtyard for a quiet morning coffee, take a communal table upstairs for a gathering of brunching friends, or snuggle into the tete-a-tete tables street-side or by the front counter to watch the bagels crisp. For a sweet treat try sticky blueberry bagels smeared with creamy ricotta.
