The coffee is sublime, a perfect roast and never too bitter with a soft smooth drink. I regularly order an Iced LB in the summer and a fw in the winter. The food is also top notch, for less than a Macca's brekky you can get a phenomenal range of BnEs or smoothies and check out their blackboard for a great rolling menu of specials- the ultimate bne for 9.90 is a highlight of my week. Service is beyond impressive, I'm welcomed instantly by Jason and within three visits he knew my name, contrasting to the refinery round the corner where the bloke just stared at you the friendliness of this cafe is a testament to their ethos.

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.

The Corner Cafe, serving Toby's, does a great job at making a very enjoyable coffee. While there was a little more milk than I would have preferred, it compares very well to most cafe I have been able to find on the Northern Line. Any small cafe like this that can have a line of locals trying to get a morning cup of coffee is doing pretty good in my books. So if in the area, this is a cafe that I would give a big thumbs up to. :-) Cafe Summary ------------------------ Passion for Coffee - 7/10 Coffee beans - Toby's Estate Crema (1=burnt, 10=velvet) - 7/10 Special coffees avail? - N/A

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.

So, this is probably the best cafe next to Pennant Hills Station, however, in comparison to other…read morecafes in the area (Thornleigh or Beecroft), it is only 3 stars. So if you are at the Station and need a cup of coffee, then go crazy. However, if you have a car and don't mind driving another 5 minutes, then I would reconsider. Serving Campos coffee (which I am not a fan of) this is a small cafe in Pennant Hills Shopping Centre. Having out door sitting (looking at the beautiful car park), this place is surprisingly busy on weekends and peak time. So I was hoping for awesome coffee in this area, but sadly, the coffee is only average. I think the best thing about this cafe is probably the sandwiches and the muffins. Offering a range of sandwiches and wraps, they are actually quite nice. Specifically, as there is not that many places to sit, and so you have to generally get take-away. So if you've walked here, this is the best cafe in the Station area, however, not worth going out of your way.

Don't overlook it though because it's great! Juan and Sonia the owners are from Columbia (and happen to by my neighbours) and have worked hard to create a delicious menu that has a different take on the regular cafe fare. Their shining glory however is the Friday night Tapas menu. All the food is expertly prepared by Chef Sonia, the South American flare that they have put in the menu is delicious. Pork belly, empanadas, spicy prawns, there is nothing you won't be able to find to whet your appetite. And if you're not sure Juan will pick out a menu for you based on everyone's different tastes. Service can get a little slow on Friday nights as it's usually packed out, so you may need to be prepared for a long dinner. But with the right bottle of wine and the constant flow of delicious tapas that shouldn't be a problem!
