Fast service, good hot chocolates
Ever since Bacco opened downstairs in Chifley Plaza I think Caffé Due Mondi has had some stiff competition in the coffee and cake trade. Also I remember they had a really young friendly guy on service who remembered the names of most of the regular patrons and what they ordered and since his departure I think they struggled a bit but this year they seem to be getting busier so they must be doing something right. Their prices are decent, food is good quality and service is efficient. There's a few no fuss quality pre-made sandwiches to choose in the window display and I think I've tried them all — my favourite is the Chicken Schnitzel on Turkish Bread followed by the classic Ham and Salad when I don't have much time for lunch. For a quick breakfast pick me up I love their thick sliced raisin toast ($2.20) and hot chocolate ($2.50) which doesn't need any sugar — I think they use a chocolate syrup which makes them great.
SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Quick service; Decent coffees, hot chocolate, raisin toast and reasonably priced quality pre-made sandwiches
CONS: Peak times can get busy for ordering
MUST TRY: Buttered raisin toast, Hot chocolate

Simon, you must work in this area right? :P My Sydney office is very near by. Came here quite often.
Wow been a while since I had raisin toast now mmmm...
hi anh, it's pretty much my regular breakfast stop if i didn't get a chance to eat at home. you might have noticed the simple lunch time take away meals too. i had a pasta once and it was quite yummy. i haven't tried their take away salads though, have you? :-)
hi sarah, i love a good raisin toast which isn't overly buttered and isn't too thin. these guys seem to do it right for me :-)
Their sandwiches are great! Order them all the time. I have been to Bacco a few times but find the staff very rude. A number of us in our office won't go to Bacco because of the attitude! Due Mondi are always so friendly. Great service, fast and great tasting coffee and sandwiches.
