    Great food, good coffee (soy latte was highly rated by my wife), and very friendly staff.

    Quite disappointing. The corn fritters were just corn and 3 of our 4 eggs benedicts didn't run. Not impressed at all.

    (Beware how to make dbl mac in this review. Some what ranty)…read more.. Wandering down a somewhat unkempt street across from the Epping Coles I noticed a stairway going up to a wooden platform that almost hides a cafe behind it. Honestly, I love the effort that has gone into the design of this place. Somehow you get transported to somewhere peaceful and relaxing (I especially loved and quickly grabbed one of the comfy chairs near the door). The coffee they use here is Campos, so they have a few extra brownie points to start with, and while they were able to extract a fairly good crema, it was ruined with too much milk. This is certainly not uncommon, unfortunately, and likely only an issue for people like me who drink macchiatos. After my second milky dbl of the day, I am feeling a little like a broken record I think justification is in order. For me, a dbl mac is one of the harder coffees to make well. Most people fail immediatly by over espressing the coffee to stretch a single into a dbl rather than making two singles. All this does is stress the bean making the consistency more watery and the flavour more bitter. Then coffee crema comes down to alot of things. The pressure in the machine, the temp of the cup and portafilter and how tight the coffee was packed. Also harder if you use to singles as the first shot might burn the second. Finally the milk. I think when people hear double, they think "large" but it is incorrect. The milk (a dot of froth and teaspoon of milk) performs an essential function of stopping the coffee crema from burning. If you can not see a dark espresso colour at the bottom you've added too much. So why order the hardest coffee to make from unsuspecting cafes? Other than being a bastard, when someone gets it right it is fantastic. It is also a great way to measure the skills of who ever is making the coffee. Anyone can make a cap or latte, as most issues are covered up by the milk. The great thing though is that if they can make a dbl mac well, their caps and lattes will be amazing.

    Grabbed a couple breakfasts this morning, The deck out the front seems never to have enough tables…read morefor the size of the deck which is shame as inside is very noisy. We thought we were reasonably lucky when got a seat on the porch area but to our surprise another couple sat at a table behind us that was really close and only really enough for one person as there wasn't any room for the second person. This was a bit unusual. The food was reasonable except a little greasy from the bacon and hash brown looked like had seen better days (so we didn't eat them). The coffee was well made and still Campos so it had plenty of flavour.

    Not too far down Oxford St from Epping Station, just past the post office, you'll find what at…read morefirst you might think is a hole in the wall cafe. Instead, a huge array of fresh sandwiches, quiches and salads lets you know you've at a place that loves to keep things fresh. Unfortunately, I am not here for food. It is coffee that I crave. Seems they are using Adore Estate coffee which I recall having tried at the Aroma coffee festival not too long ago. When the coffee came, the service was perfect. Came with a glass of water, which I really appreciate, and a question if I would like more milk. Here is where it falls down. Given the coffee already looks like a piccolo latte I refuse the kind offer. It is really sad there is so much milk as the guy making it had a great crema going, and the coffee is not bitter at all. As it seems with many cafes, this place would be great for people who drink caps and lattes. Just not great for me. It is interesting to compare the clientele between here and Pablo & Rusty's ( http://frid.co/nYKfxS ) It seems there are more SME business owners here and older couples. Where as a little closer to the station P&R's seem to get a lot more students, hipsters, and young mums. What a difference a couple of hundred meters makes.

    Purchased some take away tonight cuz craving dessert after some hardcore late night studying…read more Anyways, Meet Fresh at Ewood has satisfied my stomach so thanks heaps woot woot. I ordered their #1 Most popular dessert, the "Meet Fresh Signature Herbal Jelly" which was the bomb. The Herbal Jelly with the Herbal ice is so refreshing and so nICE. This ain't no 5 star dessert place so don't be raising your expectations, but all i can say is that its definitely worth the price! aaand I'll be back soon :D

    Went to celebrate Meet Fresh's 2nd year anniversary this past weekend with 20% off all products…read more I must admit I'm not really a fan of Meet Fresh in Sydney. Even though they use the same brown seats as in Taiwan, that for a split second makes me travel miles and miles to a happy time in my life, when I take that first bite into whatever I've ordered it's just doesn't taste the same. I always struggle with what to order here. Not this time though! When I walked in I saw a sign board next to the counter that read 'yummy black sesame soup with toppings of smooth tofu pudding, chewy mini taro balls and lovely red beans'. Only served hot but I was very much in the mood for a warm dessert. I ordered the sesame soup and the cashier entered it into the machine and then ordered a milk tea which she keyed in too. Came to payment time and some other girl came over and said "I told you already we ran out of the sesame soup". NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shattered! If you've run out of something you should either take the sign down or stick something over it to say it's sold out. False advertising! False hope! Real sadness! Real disappointment! *cry* http://www.yelp.com.au/biz_photos/eU82PxVanczqriHz5uZkgg?select=rjRqcPw2dgdSSiYQvp_38g#rjRqcPw2dgdSSiYQvp_38g how good does it look!!!
