4. #4XS Espresso North Parramatta for families and late opening hours

   $$Outdoor seating🌳 Willsford Homes Reserve, 5 min walk

   XS Espresso North Parramatta is the family pick. It has a kids menu, vegetarian dishes and outdoor seating, and the avocado smash and eggs Benedict are the dishes praised most. One visitor found the kids' pancakes and cheeseburger generous. Few cafes here stay open this late, since it shuts at 10pm. Recent reviews mention slips in service, such as forgotten orders, so check the order before you leave. The space was refreshed recently, and the calmer seating sits toward the back.

   Best for: Families and late opening hours
