Guidebook for Leichhardt
Food Scene
I'd highly recommend the Orange Grove growers market for breakfast on Saturday morning (cnr of Balmain Rd and Perry St). It is a bustling food and craft market that is very popular with locals, with many delicious options for breakfast, and tasty things to try from growers and food artisans from around the state. There's usually a musician playing, and the atmosphere is vibrant.

Sightseeing
Norton St home to the birth of coffee culture in Sydney. My personal favourite coffee shops are Bar Sport, and Bar Italia. These places were established long before hipsters discovered pour over brewers, and are still authentic and faithful to their origins in great espresso coffee served with simple, excellent Italian food.
