M Kitchen and Espresso

M Kitchen and Espresso is a relaxed café tucked away on the top floor of Myer in Penrith Plaza, offering a casual spot for coffee lovers and families alike. It has found a balance between convenient mall dining and a welcoming local hangout, making it a regular stop for parents with young kids as well as those after a solid brunch or lunch.

The café’s vibe is low-key and spacious, with tables arranged to allow for comfortable distance between groups — something appreciated by visitors who want to linger without feeling cramped. A small play area tucked to one side keeps toddlers happily occupied, making it a practical choice for families who want to combine a quick coffee break with some kid-friendly downtime. Plenty of locals seem to appreciate this setup, often returning multiple times just to let the children play while they enjoy the menu.

Speaking of the menu, M Kitchen and Espresso offers a diversity of options beyond the usual café staples. Coffee ranges cover the classics — espresso, flat white, and chai latte — all served alongside baked treats and hearty meals. Banana bread and avocado smash are popular picks for a light bite, while those craving something more filling can opt for dishes like the buttermilk fried chicken or the Stars and Stripes burger paired with crispy waffle fries. The brekkie wrap with spinach, bacon, and egg is another solid choice for a satisfying start to the day.

Though the café can get busy around typical brunch times, especially Sunday lunch, the staff’s friendly and accommodating nature helps keep the atmosphere easygoing even during a wait. Visitors report that while orders might take some time during peak hours, the food and coffee justify the patience. This makes mornings and early afternoons a good window for those looking to beat the rush.

Overall, M Kitchen and Espresso serves as a reliable local option in Penrith for anyone after a no-fuss meal or coffee session that works well for both family visits and casual catch-ups. It’s particularly well-suited to parents who appreciate a touch of entertainment for the kids and a solid burger or coffee for themselves in return.
