Bar Latte has recently seen some steep competition in the Edgecliff Coffee scene, with The Lab Cafe…read more& Cafe Mia opening close-by. This unfortunately places their coffee under further consideration with the proximity of highly respected competitors. Unfortunately, the coffee at Bar Latte is still sub-par. Their location is still the best, as it's a quiet sit-down cafe, located at the entrance to the Edgecliff Station, where lot's of people queue for tickets, wait for buses & abuse their lives due to often calculations. Their food especially breakfast and take away sandwiches are good quality, unfortunately they're not competitively priced, and could find that their local customers are not as loyal as they once thought, once the competition is tasted. There is outdoor seating, although I find the cafe tables with high stools often uncomfortable for an extended seating, and it's often very loud with the bus-stop directly opposite. Best of luck Bar Latte, I'm sure you can get better!

What an amazing local cafe with such caring owners!!!!…read more Tricycle Cafe, I believe, has only been open for a few weeks...and already my mother has become a regular customers. The menu is simple and pure. I had a ham and cheese croissant and banana bread. The ham was thick and the cheese was wonderfully melted. The coffee is additive wonderful and creamy...if I didn't have to run to a meeting, I would have sat in the cafe all day during the coffee! The cafe is great for breakfast and brunch (I wasn't there for lunch). It's great for small groups or just by yourself to chill-out. It isn't good for large groups, business meetings or dates. I can't wait until I get back :-)

But then I saw the leafy fern motif wall and the long narrow layout - Albion's charm screamed sit down, sit down. It's a relaxed atmosphere in here so take a book or a girlfriend for a chat and enjoy the sweet feelings this café induces. The coffee will do the trick too. The barista looks very cosy in the back corner making coffee. Paul Bassett Espresso (World Barista of the year 2003) coffee beans are used to make the hot brew. They serve breakfast (try the Italian baked eggs with tomato, leg ham and shallots for $12.50), lunch (Bruschetta with roasted pumpkin, goats feta and rocket for $12.00 tickle your fancy?) and a few delicious sweet treats. No Wifi, heaters outside. Nice place for a cosy cuppa on weekdays. Susanne - one of the owners - is very friendly.

This is a nice little cafe in Mosman. Down Albion Lane, this is a very small cafe, with a nice…read moresitting area outside. My friends who live here swear about this place, however, I personally don't think it is as good as the Source - but I think most people will disagree with me. As most people in the area are die hard fans. The coffee here is alright, it is drinkable but not brilliant. However, the tea here is great! So if you come here I would order the tea (specifically the Chi) over the coffee. The food here is nice, but nothing amazing. Again, I know that most people will disagree with me. I ordered the salad, maybe it was the wrong thing to order. Saying that milkshakes were impressive. To summarise - this place is nice, but I don't think it is overwhelmingly great. But if you are looking for aumbiance, then this cafe is better than the Source, but I generally care more about coffee and food than anything else. But that is just me.

The menu has a Mediterranean influence (persian feta anyone?), and even better, most breakfast items are $10 or less. If you're lucky, you'll nab a table on the sidewalk in the sun.

They seem to fill up their outdoor seats frequently enough. Their position right by the Marrickville train station makes them a popular takeaway coffee spot, and I stopped in last week for just this reason, quite early (they open at 6am I think). They were friendly, service was obviously speedy at that hour, and it was a fine cup of coffee.

Upon walking in the place, you are greeted with a coffee roasting machine that is humming away doing its magic on some Sumatran beans (they roast their beans in-house daily). The staff are always super friendly and the place is my number one pick (pun intended) for a coffee while shopping at Westfield or when a caffeine hit is needed before boarding a bus to Bronte. The place itself is nicely decorated with comfy lounge style chairs if you feel like having a pastry or sandwich with your beverage (yep they'll satisfy mild hunger pangs too). To add to the atmosphere, the walls are adorned with coffee information and shots of the owner in action preparing syphon coffee and other various coffee related acts. Can also buy some coffee hardware here too (percolators, syphons and other coffee paraphernalia). Top spot this one..

Thankfully it was part of quite abundant yet lacklustre affogato, which for $5 in Bondi Junction was quite reasonable. The atmosphere is awesome despite being small and tucked up in a sidestreet that you wouldn't choose to walk down on unless you knew this place was there. The staff is friendly and the service fast. The takeaway here: Sydney doesn't cater to Italians and other espresso drinkers. This place is no exception but it's quite a nice and cheap alternative to the thousands of coffee shops that already exist.

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 all day breakfast which a serious plus sometimes. The food here is good. Honestly probably not as good as the coffee, but I can't point out anything bad about it. 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.
