With Sydney’s current lockdown measures, it has never been more important to show your support for local businesses who may be struggling to find customers in this complicated time. We have compiled just a few examples of cafes and restaurants which are still open for takeaway, and we urge readers to help support any small business local to them.
Evolve Café, Wahroonga
A myriad of words could be used to describe Evolve’s dishes – vibrant, colourful, healthy and delicious. Not only does this café provide high quality food and service, but they also deliver weekly essentials packages for people in need of some extra assistance during these times.

Replay Espresso, Turramurra
Tucked away opposite Turramurra Station, Replay Espresso remains open for takeaway every day until 2pm. The cosy interior and exposed brick walls give this café a rustic, industrial feel. With a huge array of speciality coffee, the baristas here know how to craft the perfect coffee.

The Runaway Spoon, Lindfield

Annata, Crows Nest
Not only is Annata providing scrumptious takeaway meals with ingredients from small suppliers too, but a key offering which sets them apart is their cook-at-home meal boxes. By giving them a day’s notice, Annata will prepare a personalised box including a protein, starch, sauces and vegetables of your choice. They also provide you with the cooking instructions – what else could you need?
