First impression was that the view was perfect. You can see the Sydeny Opera house to the Bridge. Food wise, was awesome. I ordered a potato onion tart with a side of salad and salmon ($19). It was the perfect size for a person. Next we decided to stay for a while to have afternoon tea. Best part was FREE WIFI! I ordered a hot chocolate and it was OMG. The best hot chocolate I've had since I flew to Australia and I've tried a lot. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and the chocolate bits just melted in my mouth smoothly. Highly recommending it to give it a go!

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.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

The restaurant is shared with other floors of various tenants in the Customs House building. The restaurant had a gorgeous view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which is probably the best part of this place! The staff was a bit rude and inattentive both evenings. The food was plated beautifully and good but not the best meal I had while visiting Australia for sure. We got the Morton Bay Bug which I had been hearing about nonstop during my work trip but it was a bit disappointing. Overall, not sure if the restaurant is worth the hype in terms of food, service, and value but it definitely does make up for it a bit with the amazing view!

The Coffee Mocha was delicious though adding an extra shot of espresso to it made it much better than original mocha. The chocolate was overpowering the coffee without that extra shot. No complaints there because I like hot chocolate too, just wanted more on the coffee side. Place was nice and clean and the service was good. Definitely recommend it.
