I have had very poor luck with many of the Bacino cafes in Sydney, but this one delivered the best of the lot. Having driven around Sydney all day I was really hoping to find a relaxing location with great coffee. The location certainly fit the bill.
Clifton Gardens (http://frid.co/q0up4z) is a unique spot that in all rights should be more popular. I did go mid-week so perhaps it is normally much busier, but any way you poke a stick at it, it deserves to be busy. The views are stunning, there are bush walking tracks available, and generally is just awesome.
As for the coffee, given that the cafe is little more than a hole in the wall, they do amazing. Sure there was too much milk froth, but on the whole, the coffee was very enjoyable. Having had so much average coffee of late, especially with cafes adding too much milk or over espressing the life out of the coffee, it is nice to be able to sit in a picturesque location like this and enjoy a good cup.
