  5 Stars. Plain and simple. Great coffee, delicious food, and the most profound service experience I've had in literally 8 years.
  
  The two dishes we had were really fantastic and the coffee was as described in other reviews.
  
  Here's the best part. I got up to chase my daughter as she was running away from the table. While I was away a bird attack the plate of food they had just brought out.
  
  I went inside and just ordered/paid for another replacement dish but didn't mention the bird fiasco.
  
  When the server brought the new dish, he  asked why I had the other plate of food sitting there. Explained the situation - two minutes later he came back with cash and refunded my meal!
  
  This doesn't happen in Sydney! It was an awesome and unexpected surprise.
  
  Point is - clearly these guys care about their customers.
  
  Highly recommend you make your way over and enjoy a great breakfast experience.
  
  AND WATCH OUT FOR THE BIRDS.

  Sitting outside at a ricketty table in the sun on a winters day isn't too bad. The coffee and tea are good. Service is good.
  Looks like the food here is OK and they can cope with babies, prams and strollers.
  Not so sure this place would be as comfortable on a cold rainy day.
  Certainly the coffee is one of the better places in the area.

  I can't believe it's taken me so long to actually review P&R in Lane Cove (or for that matter, actually checking in on Yelp!). P&R hands down has the best coffee in this leafy quiet neighbourhood and it is a definite favorite of mine on the weekend.
  
  They are supremely popular with usually a long queue out front any time between 10am and 3pm on the weekends. There's some outdoor seating and a big communal table indoors. The staff are friendly and helpful. I've had anything from the eggs to the granola to the bircher - all very good.
  
  My only issue today is that it is damn cold with no heating (indoors or outdoors) but hey, there's something primal about having a delicious hot coffee in the cold.

  I LOVE Pablo and rusty's! I have family who live in this part of time so head over to lane cove quite often. I have therefore been to Pablo and rusty's many a time and it is always a great coffee. They also do an amazing toasted sandwich and an excellent avo on toast. This is the place to beat in lane cove!

  Great coffee and good poached eggs! I can only vouch for those as that is the only thing i've eaten.
  
  They have indoor which is more communal based and outdoor seating more for groups of 2 or more. It sometimes feels crowded inside even when there are only a handful of people there.  
  
  Their menu is on the blackboard on the wall behind the coffee machine, sometimes you have to walk in and stand in front of it in order to understand the writing.
  
  Overall, its ok.
