How we picked best cafes in Eveleigh

Cafes start from their overall standing, weighted so that a place with only a few comments counts for less. The list then reads what each cafe's own page says about its food and coffee, and gives weight to praise that several visitors share. Outdoor tables, dogs and hours sit in the table, so the picks lead with food and coffee.
