How we picked best cafes in Drummoyne

Each cafe is ordered by how customers score it overall, weighted by how many of them have scored it, so a few top marks do not jump ahead of many. Within that order, each cafe was checked for brunch on the menu, weekend hours, dogs at the outside tables and outside seating, and what its own page says about the food and coffee. Cafes that did the same job well were then set apart by what each one does best.
