The coffee was as good as I remembered, great temperature, hot enough to chase a way the morning chill yet not so hot to burn my mouth or worse the coffee! Since I had time I went for a full breakfast rather than a breakie wrap and it was excellent (see my pictures) and I was offered another coffee whilst seated, told I could settle up later and they correctly identified my order. I will be back when I next visit head quarters.

The Roots, whilst an interesting choice for a name is a grounded, down to earth cafe that keeps a simple yet serious approach to good coffee and good service. Nestled away below the Greenwood bridge, the buzz of the cafe is nicely offset against the backdrop of a bustling Pacific Highway (you wouldn't even notice it). Simplicity is the key here and if they did a Saturday breakfast it would drag the masses into the great ghost town quicker than a boxing day sale. What I drank: Latte What I rate: Service: 4/5 Vibe: 4/5 Overall rating: 4/5 Ideal for: Lunch time get away, brunch if you're lucky to have weekday off.

First impressions count, and GC had me at hello... That 'tash, is to curling what.... Curling is to the winter olympics. Awesome sauce! I fully expect moustache rides will be on the menu if business ever hits the skids. Alas, despite the gleeful charm of the curly coifed one, nothing short of an excellent coffee with character was going to make the all important lasting impression on me and sadly in that area GC disappoints. I gave GC the Soy Latte test and the Long Black test and it just doesn't measure up to other coffee in the area. I like strong coffee with complexity and GC just doesn't have that. It's not the worst but it is very weak despite using the same La Marzocco espresso machine (that Barista's rave about for ease of use) as other places in the area. The service at GC however is very good and to some people that's first priority. So if you aren't too fussy about your coffee and are looking for a smile and a spring in your step from an energetic soul then get your morning fix at GC, and start the day on a happy note.

Stopped by this place for a quick bite to eat and a coffee and was really pleasantly surprised by…read morethis hole in the wall next to the train station. Fantastic coffee and service! I think it's in the top three places in the area so far as quality wise for coffee. I had a bagel with cream cheese and sat inside the tiny little shop and it was delicious. I would have preferred to have been able to spread my own cream cheese as I think that they put a bit too much on for my taste. I will say the milk crates for tables are a little problematic as I found myself stooping to get my coffee and spilt it a little but that's really not a problem for the quality of the shop. The rest of the food in he glass cabinet, muffins and sandwiches, looked delicious and I can't wait to go back and try more things there!

Still, the staff were rather friendly, and they did have some good options available on the menu. Mind you, the strong tea issue probably does have something to do with me not being too particular with regards to my choices, but still, I do tend to prefer it when they give you an option of having your tea either weak or strong, as opposed to simply assuming that you want it strong. Still, this place wasn't too bad, and is a nice place to grab some brunch.

The menu is all simple but healthy and as well as a small selection of cronuts, slices and croissants. I will definitely be heading back here real soon!

Now the quality of the coffee is inconsistent. Sometimes it is a good cup of coffee and others it is undrinkable. So honestly it depends on your luck.
