Toby's Estate can make a great cup of coffee, but when used by people who are nonplussed about the result, unless you like drinking lattes or cappuccinos, you are best going elsewhere. The dbl mac that I ordered (pic http://frid.co/rPDzjy ) clearly wasn't. It is quite disappointing as honestly it wasn't even close. With great cafes in a stones throw (like Kokoh - review http://frid.co/n8tPVR ), I think they are going to have a hard time stealing customers focused on coffee in Wahroonga.

Lunchtime? Done. Go and select from one of their many delicious sandwich combos. I'm partial to the 'Chicken Little,' but every concoction is tasty, so you really can't go wrong. Casting about for dinner ideas? Done. Go and feast your eyes on their delicious array of salads, pies, cheeses, antipasti and even gourmet frozen meals. If they have one in stock, buy a Thai Chicken Pie. You can thank me later. Desserts are covered too, with possibly the most delectable rocky road, florentines, cupcakes, caramel slice and more. They're all dangerously good (I've taken...some...for the team here!). Tongue Teasers: by any other name would taste as good!

What a lovely surprise. Honestly did not expect much at all for whatever reason, but the food was…read moresimple done well. This Korean-run café has interesting interior design choices, and also a back courtyard for outdoor seating. However, it does seem this back section is somewhat neglected as there were dead cockroaches lying around... Anyway, the green tea latte was pretty good and not typically sweet so that was a plus. Comes out in a relatively good sized mug with cute latte art. The salad sandwich was very tasty also. Yes, it is just a sandwich but it was a good mix of fresh ingredients that made a delicious combo. Was only after a light meal and this did the trick.

Thank you also, Bee's Knees for pricing your menu reasonably! Not being in a Westfield has definitely its advantages. Menu items are between $13 and $20+. Small coffee $3.50, large $4. And they're good! The menu is somewhat limited, but that's really ok - unless you've come for some smashed avocado on sourdough (one of those staples every hipster joint MUST have these days). Sitting in the lounge chairs or the court yard is inviting. What I don't really like is the vintage (or should I write "vintage") stuff. There's quite a bit of that around. In fact there are so many vintage items, you could be forgiven to think that you've stepped into a second hand shop. The mix of vintage fashion and café is pleasing to a degree but what bothers me a bit is that there are so many hipster cafés around doing this that this mix seems worn or at least overused. In addition, I doubt that all the items are in fact vintage, or just made to look like they are old or were recycled. A lot of cafés do this. It's pretentious and doesn't have the effect that actual recycling has. Don't get me wrong it's a good place for a sip and bite, but don't pay $74 for a "vintage" mirror.

Brilliant, just brilliant little cafe at Turramurra Station…read more There must be some connection with the Andronicus family as the walls are adorned with photos of the original Andronicus Cafe.

Three Williams is the only place that can compete. Great place !

I recommend their huge chocolate chip salted cookies. Delicious!

So, this is probably the best cafe next to Pennant Hills Station, however, in comparison to other…read morecafes in the area (Thornleigh or Beecroft), it is only 3 stars. So if you are at the Station and need a cup of coffee, then go crazy. However, if you have a car and don't mind driving another 5 minutes, then I would reconsider. Serving Campos coffee (which I am not a fan of) this is a small cafe in Pennant Hills Shopping Centre. Having out door sitting (looking at the beautiful car park), this place is surprisingly busy on weekends and peak time. So I was hoping for awesome coffee in this area, but sadly, the coffee is only average. I think the best thing about this cafe is probably the sandwiches and the muffins. Offering a range of sandwiches and wraps, they are actually quite nice. Specifically, as there is not that many places to sit, and so you have to generally get take-away. So if you've walked here, this is the best cafe in the Station area, however, not worth going out of your way.

Apparently 'coffee, vanilla and mung' represent the three core tenants of this company: ethical, healthy and tasty. O....k... So odd nomenclature aside, this is a pretty solid cafe franchise and the Hornsby kiosk is worth a stop if you're in the neighbourhood. The coffee is Fair Trade Alliance and the gourmet sandwiches are all delicious. They obviously use fresh produce and if the service is a little slow, it's because they're busy making your sandwich. The baristas could be better trained, but it's consistent enough that you could grab a coffee card and make this your regular. The only problem is you're stuck in the doorway of Westfield Hornsby. The cafe is nicely cordoned off, but you still have to deal with the hoards of shoppers streaming by, and the odd blustering wind coming in from the centres double doors. That said, I've never really been a fan of coffee shops in malls. Ethical, healthy, tasty. Turns out they were right all along.

Coffee: Refinery Espresso Passion: 8/10…read moreCrema: 7/10 Finding great coffee up north has been a challenge for some time. Sure there are a couple of cafes that make a passable coffee, but I am more likely to drive 30min south to find something enjoyable. So you can imagine how happy I was a couple of months ago to find a cafe in Hornsby that is roasting their own beans. While the first couple of months has seen a refining of the blend of beans, now the mix is much more to my liking (not overly dark). Better still, one the occasion (like today) they are even starting to offer single origin coffees. Today I had a Brazilian single origin from the Dattera Estate which (after getting the espresso shot pulled over a small dash of hot water) opened up brilliantly. While straight up the espresso had a tinge of something dark in the after taste, with the water it was smooth and a little floral. Very enjoyable. So while I will still travel far and wide for a great cup of coffee, it is great to know that I have at least on cafe I can count on closer to home. N.B. No public WiFi is available No #powerwhoring is available Decent breakfast menu available (Via http://bitterbliss.com/cafe-reviews/the-refinery-espresso/ )

They brew their own coffee here, so stop and have a chat - they love talking about their coffee. And it is good. The cafe was small and the staff was extremely friendly.

They have a specials board which changes weekly. And also they have dessert, sandwiches and pastries if you just want a quick bite to eat and not willing to sit down. Worth coming to if you are in the area.

If the weird, curly green alien adorning the wall of Jimini's is supposed to be Jiminy Cricket,…read morethen the owners would do well to revisit Pinocchio. But strange 'art' aside, Jimini's is quite the local favourite. From the baby-stroller brigade to ladies who (casually) luncheon, Jimini's is a convenient and consistently good cafe. Although let's face it, shopping centre cafes/restaurants are tricky affairs. You've got to contend with the overly bright Westfield lighting and the 'ambiance' of brusque, bustling shoppers. That said, Jimini's occupies a nice little niche next to Thomas Dux, so at least you can set your gaze upon fresh produce. The produce on the plate is well worth a look as well. Gluten free eaters will be pleased with the options on offer, as will those looking for some delicious Danes coffee. The burgers, BLAT and salads are all solid options, all reasonably priced if occasionally served on the small side. So if you find yourself searching for lunch or a coffee after a busy shopping trip, then make your way to Jimini's. Oh and do me a favour and ask about the green alien!?
