Where as the other side if Gordon station is hectic and congested with commuters either moving…read moretowards the train station or the Pacific Hwy, on this side, still with a fair chunk of through traffic, it feels relaxed and suburban. A great place to sit down for a morning coffee and gently start the day.
Ordering my dbl mac as per usual, I thought I might treat myself to a big breaky (honestly I had a bit of a craving for bacon). So while waiting for breaky to arrive my coffee appeared and at first glance, these guys had done a pretty good job. Not too much milk or froth, a good amount of crema, and it was not burnt. About the only thing they could have done better would have been to have shorter shots.
As my first Schibello coffee I can only compare it to other brands. This one has a bland commercial flavour to it. I would still put it above Vittoria, but when compared to Vella Nero, Klink, or Air Coffee, there simply is no comparison.
As I finished my coffee, breakfast arrived. I hate to be too picky but... a big breaky with only 1 rasher of bacon, a hash brown soaked in oil, and what can only be described as a cheap Coles like sausage is not Ao impressive. The eggs were well cooked and the mushrooms were generous, but I don't think I shall order this from here again.
