My first visit here was on a cold winter night about ten minutes before they closed at 7 pm. The tables had been brought in, there were no other customers, and I strolled in an asked, "Is it too late for a 4 shot skinny latte, extra hot, with 3 sweeteners?"
I can't tell you the number of coffee places I have been to in Adelaide that "close" at 5, but you can't get a coffee after 4:30 because the help are cleaning up to close.
Here, the reply was a big grin and, "Sure mate-would you like anything else with that?"
The barista then proceeded to make me a great latte (and obviously used equipment that had been cleaned for the evening shut down).
I was attending a workshop around the corner and had had a long day-I was in desperate need of a good coffee. I can only describe my first visit here as like those RAA commercials where a knight in shining armour rescues you.
I have since been back many times over the last three years and I have noticed that they always treat me the same-great coffee and cheerful service.
Another thing I have noticed is that most of the employees have been there a long time too. I think that says a lot about an establishment.
I know boutique coffee houses are popular (I like them anyway), but I am always happy to find a chain store that does a quality job.
They are located in the lobby of the Calvary Wakefield Hospital and have extended hours. They've never failed me-I doubt they'll fail you.
Oh, you can tell by my reviews, I drink a LOT of coffee.......
