    I needed that!
    Rhonda F.

    This place has an energetic vibe, although during the day the patrons are a mature crowd at lunch time. Indoor and outdoor seating, tables and shared benches this cafe is just across the road from Beecroft Station. In the mornings it is abuzz as workers drop by for a take away, and it is a favourite for the school drop off mums. I used to work in Beecroft in my pre-Yelp life, so I can offer this bigger portrait. Coffee was good & service was friendly. And my dentist is just across the road!

    Walking up the hill from the station, out of the corner of my eyes I spotted a place for me to get my first dbl mac of the day. While the tables out the front looked like they were associated with some sort of rural cafe, inside was sleek and modern. A long wooden table was offset by a dark chocolate wall and a mirror. Quite nice... The shiny metal kitchen sparkled with the look of a busy kitchen. Where as Chicken and Fishhead cafe (review http://frid.co/nuaVb0 ) is for the mums with kids, this place is for the adults. Given the popularity of this cafe, and he modern cement floored designed, the excited babble of the predominantly middle aged women drowns out most thoughts. Each table im competition with the next to talk over each other. (I now think a seat outside may have been a better option). The coffee gets delivered and it looks good. More froth than I would prefer, but anyway you cut it, this was a dbl mac. Given the amount of crema, the bitterness was a real shock. Not quite burnt, but very close. The shots had obviously had too much time to overcook before the milk was added. Pity. The rest of the coffee was great. Feels like a really nice cafe to get food as well, but the size of their coffee machine suggests more passion about coffee than your average hole in the wall.

    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.

    Thanks Bee's Knees for opening on a Sunday! It was a real saver when looking for a place that's…read moreopen...and I didn't want to hang out in some place at Hornsfield (Hornsby Westfield that is). 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.

    This is a gem of a coffee place!…read more Having to mission up to Hornsby for a training day was SAVED by this place - tucked in to the train station this place caught our eye and then won our heart. Friendly and relaxed staff pump out coffees to the commuters and then keep the coffee flowing throughout the day. The service was fast and the coffee was delicious - they didn't bat an eye at strange orders such as quarter strength skim lattes and made a great soy fw. There were a few treats to try including the in vogue cruffin which was a sweet treat to help us through our afternoon. Well worth dropping in to grab a takeaway if you are traveling through the Hornsby train station.

"Shop" is a stretch - it's really more of a hole in the wall takeaway only kind of space, lovingly kitted out in tiles, timber, blackboards and big Edison bulbs. The sort of aesthetic that gives you hope. It doesn't disappoint. They make a damn fine coffee here, with good customer service to boot. None of that awful aloofness that typifies so many hipster-esque joints. They sell beautiful muffins and even Bircher muesli, but they do sell out. Hey, it's not like there's space for much stock, and coffee is certainly the priority. Will certainly go out of my way to get a coffee here in future, whenever I'm around Hornsby.

    Monday Morning is a lovely, cute café popular with the locals because of its comfortable, clean…read morespace and welcoming vibe. All the food was demolished by everyone and the sliders proved to be a popular choice for most. Everything was very fresh and delicious with beautiful plating. The Green Bowl is a vegan dish so actually originally doesn't come with eggs, and is made up of all sorts of greens like kale, asparagus, avocado, peas, cucumber, etc. I've heard from somewhere kale being described as angry lettuce, it needs to be tamed to be delicious, and I couldn't agree more. Here it was incredibly tame and cooked perfectly to be enjoyed with all the other ingredients and turned out to be a very healthy, delicious bowl of goodness. Kind of like eating a garden; a green garden. And of reasonable price and quantity.

    This place gets 4 stars if you ignore the coffee. If I was assessing the coffee this would only be…read more3 stars. So in summary, you come for the food and the cafe atmosphere, however, there is better coffee in other places. Sadly they serve Publo & Rusty beans. Now in the past P&B would have raised high hopes, however, recently their blend has consistently been disappointing. So, in other words, the coffee was average at best. Yet, saying that, the food and serve here is quite good. This is a very local cafe - and so not overly hipster. Which is a good thing. This place is extremely busy at peak times. However, food is served quite quickly - which is impressive. Also the service is lovely and polite. So it makes a great place to come for brunch. But again you might be prepared to wait.
