How we picked best cafes in Pyrmont

We ranked each cafe on its reviews, weighted by how many people reviewed it, so a cafe with many reviews counts for more than one with only a few. Then we read the food and coffee notes, the hours, the dog rules and the outdoor tables for each cafe, and kept the picks that say something the others don't.
