Compared to the other coffee shops here in Surry Hills, I'd say that this is one of those small,…read moregrab-and-go places. It's more for those who just want something quick. A cup of coffee and a muffin or so. It's also a lot more fitting and convenient for those who are staying at the Rydges Sydney Central Hotel. It's literally right next store. As for the coffee drinks and treats, I'd say this place is pretty average. You're not going to find a heavy Sydney breakfast here. But when I'm on the go, this hits the spot and there's no long lines for me to wait.

Great coffee and also great specials as mentioned in the tip section!! They have a range of…read morebreakfast and lunch options to suit the work crowd, including focaccias and salads. There are some amazing looking sweet scrolls that I'm dying to try. Plus the sweet muffins look fantastic. They also do fresh juices and a range of teas. Only problem is there isn't much seating, so best to take away. Great quick friendly service and quality. Will add more once I've had a meal here!!

Gusto has gotten a great reputation among the bondi crowd because this place is always full of…read morepeople be it for a early morning coffee or a late treat. The coffee standards are high here with the store getting lots of recognition in various publications over the years. The store is quite cute and they have a enough seats inside for a decent crowd and also some Sears along the arcade too. It's on Spring street though so can be quite loud around here. Gusto is great for takeout though and you never have to wait very long. They got a great range of muffins , pastries, croissants and breads to go great with your coffee and also serve some light meals. Today I ordered peanut butter on Turkish bread. Really simple of course but very tasty none the less and perfect to keep you going until lunch. The coffee comes with a cute little bit of chocolate on top just to make your day.

Nip in here for a coffee that'll knock your socks off and leave you alert for the rest of the day…read more They also offer a fabulous range of freshly baked pastries and cakes - buy both for just $6. Homemade bircher muesli, fruit salad and yoghurt are also available as a more healthy breakfast alternative. However, the atmosphere here is not one so much for relaxing and reading the papers, but is a more frantic grab-and-go coffee on the way to work. Their breakfast-bar layout offers a great place for quickly scoffing a muffin and slurping your coffee, but I think there are better places if you want to relax and enjoy watching the world go past.

Located in the Edgecliff shopping centre, this is one of the better cafe's around the area, with…read morestella customer service and a quiet and warm character. Seating outside of the cafe (still inside the shopping centre) is always busy - although not the most eye-candy of locations. Their Macchiato's are great, with a rich creme and strong aroma. The barista owner has great passion to what he does, and it's easy to strike up a conversation. They have a great breakfast and lunch options, which are freshly made and try to be healthy. For indulging, try their special breakfast of 2 eggs, bacon, grilled tomato, toast and coffee for $10.90 - quite reasonable.

Sorry, I am literally losing my religion here at this establishment. Points are to be awarded (and…read morewell deserved) for extremely fantastic coffee; yet the service and the cramped ambience is such a turn off. This is Balmain; cafes do get crowded so some space is allowed and much needed. The coffee is superb; yet I won't be coming back to this religion in a hurry as the service is just okay; nothing spectacular. Maybe if the staff go on some customer service training, and they open up the space a little more; then most definitely I will give this establishment more of a chance. There is an abundance of choice for coffee in Balmain and Rozelle (let alone in the city nearby) that great customer service and great coffee must go hand in hand. Life is short. Not coming back to this establishment in a hurry, and sadly as well. Maybe if they also got rid of the initial counter service (hey, the latter is also a bit of a turnoff at Rosebud too) and provided full table service; although I don't want to be a business consultant again: it would be a recommendation that should be taken seriously in enhancing the customer experience, and making it more positive in my eyes.

Busy in the mornings with the commuter crowd, before they hop on to their trains to town, and busy with the local mums. The lunch crowd is busy as well, which shows how much pleasant dining is appreciated in the burbs. Great coffee, with an efficient barista. Today's specialty being a Single Origin filtered Costa Rica La Violeta. The only drawback being a tendency to over flavour the sandwiches, usually appreciated, but always better when done in moderation. Think, the balsamic vinegar applications and the onion jams, both nice but need to be applied with a lighter touch. Otherwise, highly recommended.
