    Pn a wet & windy October afternoon we blew in from Sydney at 4.00pm. Hunter St was completely deserted. Yelp to the rescue once again. One Penny Black delighted with a slice of home baked cardamon cake and perfectly brewed coffee. Make an effort to find - not numbered & parking around the corner. I can imagine on a sunny day seated in the mall with a sour dough toastie or all day brekkie would be divine!

    Best consistant coffee.... Black Star beans are the best I have had. Great friendly service. Melts are amazing.

    Their new location (further along the mall, near Wolfe st.) has a food menu, but their specials and changing bagel/pastries are where it's at.

    This little place does a good coffee and sit down snack foods…read more But it's wow for me was their cakes. I ordered one from here when I turned 40 and would do it again in a heart beat. I needed a cake for 200 and they obliged quite easily and with friendly service. The cake was a chocolate caramel mud cake with a chocolate fudge icing. What my guests didn't eat I kept in the freezer and ate for the next few months. Yes.. it was just that awesome. :)

    First impression had me thinking I'd picked a dud. Not much to look at as far as cafes are…read moreconcerned, although they do have inside seating. The open prep area gives off a tradies haunt kind of vibe but they usually spot good food if not great presentation. Gave it a shot as they also had cakes on display which I was needing to get for a family dinner that night. I picked the chocolate cake to take away, BLT wrap with chicken for my partner, chicken and Camembert wrap for me, a coke and an iced chocolate. I'm used to iced chocolates being generously topped with whipped cream but this one had none so that was a bit sad. I was drawn to my wrap as Christmas isn't far away and I instantly connected the delicious duo of Camembert and cranberry. Oddly it was put together with a Mexican theme instead with sweet chilli, avocado and sour cream. It was delicious and not a let down without the cranberry sauce. Both wraps were massive and well filled. My partner especially enjoyed the bacon, tomato and mayo flavour combo. There was a lunch deal of a pie and coke for $6 and definitely bring along your entertainment voucher. The cake itself was just over $41 but with the discount I got it and all our lunch order for only $51. The size of the wraps are definitely what sealed it for me though. I love big portions!
