How we picked best cafes in Castle Hill

The list starts with each cafe's public review score, weighted by how many visitors gave it, so a handful of reviews can't push a cafe to the top. Then it counts this page's signals: breakfast, brunch or lunch on the menu, weekend hours, and outdoor tables. Each pick's text draws on what its own page says about the food and the coffee, and the dishes to order come from the same reviews.
