What attracted me to Crave Coffee was its unusual exterior and location. Situated on Maddox Street,…read more(Nothing unusual about that), it has the appearance of a warehouse, a small outlet for coffee related paraphernalia and the coffee itself. Then, if you follow the instructions and go upstairs, you'll find the actual cafe in a sort of loft, hovering over the warehouse section of the business. I entered the establishment, unsure of whether I was supposed to be in there, the place was empty. Apart from the massive sign which read, "Now Open" there was no way of knowing whether it was open or not. (Give me a sign lord!) I walked upstairs and was met by the barista, I asked if they did milkshakes, I wanted a shake badly, eager for something refreshing to sooth my dehydrated skin. I could feel the dryness in my hands. They didn't serve milkshakes, "Coffee" she said, was all they did. (That and food.) I told her of how I had already had four coffees that morning. This was no lie, I had one when I woke up and then I had three meetings, all involving a caffeinated beverage. I succumbed, such was my desire to find out about this small and mysterious cafe. However, in order not to further destroy myself with these caffeinated treats, I decided to get a Macchiato, a small coffee (Still probably with the same amount of caffeine.) The coffee was really, really tasty. I sat with a bottle of tap water and sipped some water with my coffee at a ratio of ten to one in order to get some liquids into my body, other than the rain.

This is arguably the Best Coffee in Sydney!…read more Fresh Roasted on site and used in many of the best cafes in Sydney. I turned up today to buy my regular kilo bag of their signature "Lindt Blend" beans (for home) and find that they have expanded to the restaurant space next door! (...good to see the same team that has been doing it for years) The Breakfast is Great. I had the Chorizo with scrambled egg and sourdough. Still the best Coffee. Now with more room to hangout for Coffee and Breckky or Lunch. They also do a mean takeaway coffee at the front. (Okay so I'm excited for them!)

Walking up William St towards the Kings X coke sign, a landmark that defines the area, we cross the…read moreroad and veer to the right as we are headed for our destination, Frankie's Beans. Being in the Cross, the name could mean anything, thankfully for us it refers to coffee. With two highly rated cafes on the bean hunter App, 'Frankie's Beans' and 'cafe with out a name', we had to check this place out. We arrived at the cafe, looking back down William St, this cafe perched on the hill has a good outlook of the city skyline. Inside the cafe, it has a modern Scandi theme, with light coloured wood and whites. There is plenty of coffee paraphernalia to keep you distracted. We meet the friendly Frank and select a table outside and take in the view before ordering. We had been hearing good things about the coffee at Frankie's Beans. Frankie heads out to his roaster every Monday to experiment and create his award winning specialty coffee. The pour over method, the preferred drinking method of many coffee aficionados wanting to taste the flavours of the coffee. These flavours can be influenced in many ways, be it origin, variety or how they are prepared. The pour over method can be a timely process, but Frankie is an innovator and has modified his coffee machine to produce a pour over type coffee in an efficient manner. The process is call FAB, short for fractional atmospheric brew. Pop in to see Frank, he will happily explain the process in detail. After hearing so much about the FAB we are intrigued and must try. Frank suggests we try two single origin varieties with a single origin from Elsalvador and Costa Rica. This was a way of sampling the FAB method as well as an experiment to taste the difference first hand. The experiment worked both brews were very different in taste and appearance, with the Costa Rican's fruity characteristics being my preference. This being a brunch visit, some food was also in order. Frankie's Beans has a range of sandwiches, cakes and breakfast options available. We had it on good word that their toasties were the bomb. Deciding on the Rueben and the Slow cooked lamb with Tzatziki, we were not disappointed. Asked to pick which was our favourite, almost an impossible task. However on this day the Rueben won for me, but this may change on any given day as both were fine examples of a toastie. Having also heard about the 3 Colombians blend, for milk based coffee. A triple blend single origin, being in the East I ordered my usual latte. A smooth coffee drinking coffee with a strong flavour, perfect to drink without sugar. A great cafe worthy of a visit for coffee lovers, we left buzzing and not only from the coffee consumed. Frank is a top guy and his staff friendly and welcoming, they have great coffee and do kick arse toasties. Suffice to say we will return and be hunting down the 'cafe with out a name' for a coffee as well.

I also noticed some pastries but totally forgot to order so I will be back to try some pastries as well! Can't wait!

Deluca Espresso Bar serves excellent coffee on the site of the Deluca Specialty Coffee Roastery…read more The coffee is really, really, really good. (I'm writing this review as I am sipping my delicious skinny latte). I'm not the only fan - this year Deluca won a two cups rating in the SMH Good Cafe Guide awards. The cafe has plenty of outside seating, but busy Botany Road is not the most scenic spot to take a break. Inside the spacious cafe is warm, cozy, and inviting. I'm a big fan of the large, communal table in the centre of the room. I have not yet tasted the food on offer, but the freshly-baked muffins were very tempting this morning. In addition to cakes and other sweet things, Deluca offers a full lunch menu, including soups, salads, and other mains. Check it out!
