My only complaint is the pricing... they're not cheap. Their baked cupcakes/cakes tend to start at around $5+ But then again most good cafes in Sydney and the illawarra aren't cheap in 2018+ ....

It was cute that there was a mothers group in here when we landed at 10am. Screeching like seagulls they were, having the time of their lives. I got a croissant microwaved to within an inch of its poor life and quite a decent coffee for $5. I'm actually looking forward to coming back in a year. And not before.

After 6 months working at Menai Town Centre with barely a whiff off good coffee within coo-ee, Six Shooter chopped a chunk out of the car park and plonked itself in.

The owner is the most friendly guy you'll meet in the area, the coffee is Tobys estate and they even cater for the gym set with raw cacao snacks, yogurt and wraps.

On the odd occasion, when I'm desperate I go down the street in hopes that Rise on the Bay have improved their coffee game. Here's the reasons why I believe it's sub-par. 1. You pay 50 cents more for a small latte. $4.00 instead of the usual $3.50 (I would be ok with this I if..) 2. You didn't have to wait an extremely long time to get it when there is hardly anyone there. This has happened to me on each occasion. 3. Then when you do finally get it, the coffee is too hot! Baristas need better training on not serving scolding hot coffee. So much so, you can barely hold it, let alone drink it right away. 4. The coffee tastes like hot milk! I can't taste the coffee. Other friends have also noticed this. Please pretty please take some barista training course!

We got the grilled chicken open melt and we also got 'the sourdough with extra'... Haha extra price... that's the only extra thing it had. The meals were a disappointment, on the grilled chicken open melt, the bread was really soggy and it had avocado on it which made it a bit unpleasant. The chicken on the sandwhich was not freshly grilled, it had dried out, making it feel as if they made it a couple of days before and just kept it in a little container and smacked it on the bread. The salad on the side was fantastic though! I would get it by itself. As for the sourdough with extra, it seemed like it would be an extremely scrumptious choice when looking at the menu. Feta, tomato and avocado on sourdough bread! However unfortunately the excitement of this meal did not follow through, when you first received the meal the first thought that hit me is, 'wow they really cheaped out on this feta!' - there was hardly any on there. The inside was just so soggy from the watered down avocado on the piece of lightly toasted bread, it felt almost too disgusting to keep in my mouth. The crust of the toast was what made this meal edible as well as the side salad (lettuce leaves and pine seeds in a balsamic dressing!) Horrible food definitely not worth the cost.
