Hmm the wafting smells of sugar, coconut and cinnamon.........such a delight!…read more As we walked in after dinner and because the weather was overcast the store appeared to be dark inside probably due to their minimal lighting. I think they're going for that dark seductive ambiance vibe or I could be way off! After browsing the various collections of cakes (cakes the size you could put your whole face on!) we decided on ye good ole Kurtosh - cinnamon of course although the coconut was a good contender. $7.50 for one and made fresh to order which only took about 5 minutes which we happily sat around to wait for. The interior is an industrial style with exposed brick and dim lighting. As you walk in the cakes and pastries selection is on the left and straight ahead is their coffee station with a massive coffee machine! Down the back to the left is a large communal table for bigger groups etc. Will have to pop by again, as they have cute cups they serve their tea/coffee in and also to try their cookies and cream cake i spied earlier.

I however find the cakes to be pretty meh. They taste below average. I have had better and I have seen better. The tiramisu I had was ok though. Aldi and Coles tiramisu is better though. The service is ok, girls behind counter are rather slow and not very friendly. The barista is amazing. She was alone and she made about 20 coffees in 6 minutes. I was impressed..

I honestly don't know where to start with this place... It's the best bakery I've ever been to…read more Ever. In my life. Absolutely everything is delicious and no trip to the Blue Mountains is complete without a Glenbrook bakery drive-by. (Ask my friends, it drives them nuts.) If you're in the mood for lunch-related items, go the quiche. There are a few delish varieties to choose from and you can buy smaller ones for one belly ($3.50 each) or to share ($15). There are plenty of loaves of fresh bread to take away for a picnic too. If you're after a sweetener, I'd highly recommend the gingerbread men (they've got the texture perfect - the best crunch/chew ratio I've ever tasted!). There are also huge wedges of caramel slice (they could be shared between about three or four people), packets of cookies, coconut slice and chocolate brownies. It's a cute little shop with a few tables and chairs outside, or if you're visiting on a weekend, take your treats with you as your browse the markets across the road. Perfection.

(Beware how to make dbl mac in this review. Some what ranty)…read more.. Wandering down a somewhat unkempt street across from the Epping Coles I noticed a stairway going up to a wooden platform that almost hides a cafe behind it. Honestly, I love the effort that has gone into the design of this place. Somehow you get transported to somewhere peaceful and relaxing (I especially loved and quickly grabbed one of the comfy chairs near the door). The coffee they use here is Campos, so they have a few extra brownie points to start with, and while they were able to extract a fairly good crema, it was ruined with too much milk. This is certainly not uncommon, unfortunately, and likely only an issue for people like me who drink macchiatos. After my second milky dbl of the day, I am feeling a little like a broken record I think justification is in order. For me, a dbl mac is one of the harder coffees to make well. Most people fail immediatly by over espressing the coffee to stretch a single into a dbl rather than making two singles. All this does is stress the bean making the consistency more watery and the flavour more bitter. Then coffee crema comes down to alot of things. The pressure in the machine, the temp of the cup and portafilter and how tight the coffee was packed. Also harder if you use to singles as the first shot might burn the second. Finally the milk. I think when people hear double, they think "large" but it is incorrect. The milk (a dot of froth and teaspoon of milk) performs an essential function of stopping the coffee crema from burning. If you can not see a dark espresso colour at the bottom you've added too much. So why order the hardest coffee to make from unsuspecting cafes? Other than being a bastard, when someone gets it right it is fantastic. It is also a great way to measure the skills of who ever is making the coffee. Anyone can make a cap or latte, as most issues are covered up by the milk. The great thing though is that if they can make a dbl mac well, their caps and lattes will be amazing.

Grabbed a couple breakfasts this morning, The deck out the front seems never to have enough tables…read morefor the size of the deck which is shame as inside is very noisy. We thought we were reasonably lucky when got a seat on the porch area but to our surprise another couple sat at a table behind us that was really close and only really enough for one person as there wasn't any room for the second person. This was a bit unusual. The food was reasonable except a little greasy from the bacon and hash brown looked like had seen better days (so we didn't eat them). The coffee was well made and still Campos so it had plenty of flavour.

I still mourn the day I moved away from The Point Deli…read more It used to be my local. A couple of times a week (ok, often more) I'd trundle down for one of their sumptuous sandwiches. Mostly I couldn't go past ham, avocado and salad on rye, and mostly I couldn't finish more than half. Those were happy times. Now I simply have to make a point of going back to the Point! After some time overseas I was delighted to note the shop's simple makeover (love the stripy cushions outside), but more thrillingly, my eyes went straight to the blackboard declaring Allpress coffee! Squee! I didn't think The Point Deli could get any better. Aside from the happy couple of tables outside, there are a few stools by windows and a large table to pull up a pew. But if you're coming for a lunchtime sandwich, you'll have to fight the hoards of hungry workers who all make similar pilgrimages to the point each day. Instead, I'd recommend taking your sandwich and your coffee and following your nose down the hill to Blues Point Reserve. Your deli feast will taste even better with that multi-million dollar view.

You know, I've always wanted to feel like a grown-up. This deli, more than the sandwiches, more…read morethan the salads, more than the baked goods and house-made banana bread, more than the coffee, more than the view just a short walk down the road, does that. There is a certain adult-like coolness about the space - which is painted white and cut into two parts (one room for eating and the adjoining one for ordering) - and the people - who are both alone and coupled and of much varied age. It is all very civilized and indeed, picturesque (the latter extends to the people who, here and there, look like they came straight out of a portrait picture, at least those regularly found in frames laid out for sale in department stores. This holds true particularly on my last visit, where one grandfather and his young grandson were sitting together for a meal). But you don't go to a deli for the crowd. The food here is sensational. On my last visit on a Sunday morning I had their breakfast egg roll sans the cheese and ham while, as per my request, was given a few extra things to add to the pot. As that suggests, the staff here are always very courteous about following through on your creative creations to the last dot when it comes to sandwiches - even if they're already pre-prepared. You always want to be around people who are willing to get their hands dirty. The chicken schnitzel sandwiches here are wildly popular based on my cursory observations while waiting for and then eating my breakfast roll.

We literally followed our noses (just like our beagle) and found it. It was late in the day, we had already had lunch but the smell was just too good so we had to order. There was very little left in the cabinet and we ended up with a Beef Brisket Pie to share. OHHH MYYY GOD! Possibly the best pie I have ever tasted, I cant say eaten because I literally got 2 bites - my husband pretty much devoured the whole thing within minutes. So happy to have stumbled across this little place and will be back for sure. **After reading other reviews of this place and it's sister properties, I feel it's important to note that I have been living in Sydney for less than a year and at the time of writing this, I had not heard of Bourke Street Bakery, nor did I know that other locations existed**

The muffins are crispy at the edge, and gloriously fruit-packed in the middle. The varieties of sourdough bread are stunning, and always deeply delicious. Have it as a breakfast treat with some ricotta and jam and you'll smile all day. The croissants are good, too, as are the brioches. Look, if it's breadlike and you can bake it in an oven they do it best here. Their coffee is exceptionally good too. It's warm and welcoming, with tables and colouring materials for kids (it's popular with families). There are outdoor tables for smokers, or for sunny days. Staff are great, even in the face of cranky customers who don't know how to queue properly. Every visitor I've brought here adores it, and asks to go back.
