Our waitress was not only accomodating (we asked for Coke spiders that weren't on the menu) but kept us up to date as to when the orders were gong to be ready. We didn't help ourselves as we wanted starters brought with the kid's meals then our meals to follow, which was done. The alleyway was very comfortable as there was plenty of space so we lost track of time too. The food was very nice. The duck curry was excellent. We all agreed on the Salt, Pepper & Chilli squid that it was the pick.

Tried the Nutella scruffin which was a mix between a scone and a muffin and my wife had the chai toast which was so good that we bought a whole loaf. Would give it 5 stars if they had actual cups and plates when your eating in rather than everything in takeaway cups and bags as the Nutella scruffin topping got all stuck to the paper bag.

Probably one of the best cafes you'll find in the Wollongong area. This place looks small, but has…read morea nice seating area next to the cafe. However, even with those seats because it is popular, sometimes it's hard to find a place. The menu here is small - nothing overly fancy. Mainly sandwiches and croissants. However saying that, it was still quite good. The coffee is good - not the best cup I've ever had. But nothing to complain about. As this place gets busy, you did have to wait a bit to get your coffee - however, when you are at the beach you have to have a calm attitude. So it might be a good thing to wait. Either way, if you are in the area, this is a good place to visit.

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.

Such good iced coffee. And I'm not talking about the delicious, creamy atrocity Aussies call iced…read morecoffee, I'm talking about coffee. With ice in it. It's an art, people! (They also have an 8-hour cold drip should you so desire.) The shop is tiny, but if you're lucky enough to snag a stump you'll be privy to some of the most amusing customer conversations. Hungry? They were whipping up waffles last time I was there. But don't get your tastebuds in too much of a tizzy, it's just waffles, so if that's what you want, consider yourself a winner. If not, well, tough luck. But let's be honest, you're heading here for the coffee because it's undoubtably Manly's best, whether hot or cold. And hey, I'm sure they'll even put the ice cream in there if you ask nicely. Just don't ask for decaf. Or larges.

These guys are serious about coffee. Whether it's a doppio espresso or cold drip, you can always…read morecount on a great coffee. The menu is simple: Coffee in one size. No large. No decaf. Waffles with optional chocolate. Because they do it simple, they do it well. The waffles are freshly made as you order. The chocolate is freshly melted Belgian chocolate. The coffee is either their standard blend, or a single origin that rotates every few days - and they are fastidious about how they make it. The actual café is just a hole in the wall with a few boxes & logs that serve as stools. The popularity of this spot ensures an intimate buzz and more often than not, a friendly conversation with the locals. Well worth a visit.
