XS Espresso Wetherill Park

With 13 locations across Sydney and Newcastle, XS Espresso is a raging success for good reason. And it all started in Wetherill Park, where the original location still stands.

This local stalwart offers an expansive menu featuring eats that are anything but XS in size — from OTT brunch plates to decadent desserts and milkshakes. Favourites include buttermilk chicken and cinnamon waffles, topped with maple bacon, creamy slaw, melted cheese and a secret spicy sauce; pancakes piled with strawberry, banana, vanilla ice cream and Belgian chocolate; and croissants stuffed with mac 'n' cheese, sujuk and a poached egg. There's also the truffle oil eggs benedict and a massive brekkie burger to contend with.

Whatever you order, you won't be leaving this place hungry.
