Not only the coffee taste great, they're environmentally friendly and sustainable. (apparently)
You really got to appreciate the enthusiasm here. They're not just selling you coffee, but they're being real people, with a lot of passion.

This could be my new favorite coffee place.

actually i don't drink coffee, but i can tell you this is my husbands favourite coffee haunt. they do all sorts of gourmet coffee with housemade single origin roasts. i can however, vouch for the cakes and snacks - yum. small and sweet. try the sour cherry chocolate muffin!

The coffee here it very good. I'd say the best I've tried in the Crow's Nest restaurant strip. It is on the tad expensive side. We usually get a flat white and a ice latte, latte with ice, barely any froth. Nice flavour, isn't watery. The food is so-so, limited choices, mainly pies, toast and muffins.

Thanks for the review.

Actually we are not a cafe, we are a Coffee Roaster. Therefore our 'food' offering is limited as it is not our primary focus as a business.

Our focus is showcasing coffee from different coffee growing regions utilising different brewing equipment, and supplying wholesale coffee to other businesses.

Regarding price, there are places in Crows Nest selling commercial grade coffee at a more expensive price than we sell Specialty Coffee. Then again you get what you pay for. 7/11 does it for $1 a cup!

This is a very pleasant cafe. The best thing about it is the long hours it opens, including Sundays. The coffee is not my favourite and seems a little bitter. But they do me a nice iced coffee (just a cold latte with ice), without any fuss and somehow when it's cold it seems to taste better.

I think the coffee here is rather expensive. The variety of food and munchies on offer are pretty limited, but the quality is good.

The staff are very helpful and don't mind when we move tables around.

Regarding 'ice coffee', the product you mentioned is actually a 'latte over ice'. Our ice coffee is another product which we bottle by hand on-site. On our label it states the coffee roast date, shot extraction date, the barista that pulled the shot, and also the origin (country, region or farm) of the coffee.

Want to know more about the farmer who actually grew the coffee you are drinking? Ask us! We can trace nearly every one of our coffees back to source!

Regarding tables, all we ask is that customers ASK before they start 'rearranging'. In that way we can make sure walkways, doorways, and areas safe for other customers and staff, and so that you do not accidentally breach our Footpath seating permit which can result in us being fined by Council Rangers.
