The Sandy Bay Doctor Coffee is the newest and freshest store of the Doctor Coffee chain, and it's miles ahead of the Salamanca branch. Somehow the barista here turns coffees over in at least half the time it takes the Sal crew.
The decor is great (I'm kinda crazy about that wallpaper) and the staff are friendly. The food is pre-made and sits in the display fridge for the day but still tastes OK, I can't deny it.
I will actually prioritise this store when I'm in the Sandy Bay area, and/or on Sundays and public holidays--these guys never seem to cut short on their seven days a week accessibility.
Having said all this, the best barista recently left to start up his own lil nook across the road, so if he sticks with the same kind of opening hours as the Doctor, my allegiance lies with him. read more
