Constructed on the far left hand corner at the bottom of the escalators at Chatswood Interchange, it's difficult to miss as you can see the steam rising from Barista magic at work. It's busy, in a worker bee sense. People come and go clutching coffee, whilst 3 artisans work their craft. I rolled in here with my two elderly companions on Wednesday post lunch, and we were drawn to the little padded seats at the back, which also opens through to the other side. Ordering, then taking a seat, our talking point became the shelves in front of us with coffee and train paraphernalia. I grabbed the HONY book on display and attempted to explain the concept to the ex-journalist at my right. The book (from 2010) unfortunately contains only the images and captions, not the stories that we have all seen on Facebook, but I think she got what I meant. Soon after, the coffees arrived. Soy Latte. Flat White. Cappuccino. Our cappuccino drinker said the flavour was lovely but she wanted it "hotter". The flat white drinker remarked in earnest tones that it was wonderful. I just drank mine and smiled. Yes it was damn good. One of the best Soy Latte's I've had. No bitterness. A smooth, flavourful brew with some complexity to delight my tastebuds. Isn't "winning your loyalty" an interesting concept. When I stroll through Chatswood next I would find myself hard pressed to try another coffee place, and there are many... If I did try another coffee place, I'd feel like I was cheating on TSE. That's what winning your loyalty is all about.

Super cute cafe in the new Chatswood Interchange complex. Only got to try their matcha latte (which…read morewas amazing), but would easily go back to try out some of their desserts and pastries - which looked delicious in the display. Lovely decor + late trading hours = a lot of future visits!

Pretty average pricing; Small skim cap = $3.50 Not really a fan of their coffee to be honest... It was a tad too bitter (which is a risk when making skim coffees).

Thank you Chatswood for finally bringing it in the cafe department…read more I came here after a friend posted a picture of the food on Instagram (making this the most hipster cafe find I have ever made) - I had never heard of this place and thanks to the old yelp bookmark I had it parked for my next cafe emergency when I was in the area. I think that this place does all the things necessary to be a good cafe- funky interior, great tasting and interesting food, and not just good coffee- but a rotating bean menu. I had the fresh fig and ricotta on toast which was simply delightful. The combo of figs, ricotta, honey, walnuts and mint was a definite winner. And all the rest of the food I saw looked just as tasty. Brilliant coffee too- I just had the house bean (can't remember what it was) but it was great. Well done elbow room- you just found a special place in my heart

To add the cherry on the coffee heaven, the food here is fantastic. Now the menus is limited but both my friend and I were ecstatic about our meals. I got the French toast and it was divine. It is a small kitchen, so if it crowded you might have to wait a bit. But that should be expected with any small cafe. What completely won it for me was the friendliness of the staff. A small error was made in my order (which was my fault) and they lady could not be more helpful. I will definitely come here again.

The Chatswood store however is a brewing a nice cup, mellow in taste (I'm talking coffee here, not sparkling water). The Vegemite on turkish toast are a good treat with your coffee. They'll even give you a fancy plate, but I'd rather pay 50¢ less for presentation. Like most Three Beans franchises they're a bit on the more expensive side and so allow for only the occasional visit, although I believe they have some regular customers. Staff is always friendly and their store is quite cosy, especially for Chatswood.
