My partner and I ordered a plunger coffee, French toast, Poached egg and bacon roll and an apple juice. Equalled $15 each. The coffee had enough for 3 serves! The server started helped to add to another order during mine when I ordered at the register. Coffee came after my food was finished. Very good atmosphere inside but lots of traffic ruined it for the outside. Loved the coffee and the food, though small portions. May visit again on another Sunday morning.

This cafe is in a lovely setting and very spacious... the breaky menu is tasty and coffee great sometimes. The downfall: The prices! Don't understand why a cup of coffee has to cost so much especially when there are multitude of other good cafes in the area that sell tobys estate and the like for a more reasonable price. Find it disappointing. Also became really annoyed when they had blaring rap music on... I had to leave so I wouldn't get a migraine.

I really want this place to raise the bar because despite their failings, I love them. Yes, the staff were absent minded (after my coffee was delivered, I had to remind them to bring my croissant, then remind them about the jam, then again about a knife). This after telling them I was in the 15 minute parking bay! But the coffee is superb, the interior nice, and we need a casual cafe outside the university campus and hey, it's a Toby's Estate!

Great coffee here, staff are really friendly and remember us which we like.
Not so happy with the price increases, which seem to be more and more frequent.
Usually have sandwiches which are good but expensive and recently a fruit salad which was Ok. Highly recommended for coffee but it gets quite hot inside in summer.

Great coffee, but appalling food. The toast was burnt and squashed, complete opposite to what I'd ordered. The salad was bland, and the goats cheese dressing had the curious consistency of diluted off-milk. Service was haphazard and non-committal.

Maybe I'm being a bit harsh with my rating as the coffee is excellent, but the bircher muesli was absolutely disgusting. In fact it was not bircher muesli at all, it was a bowl of cereal with a large glass of apple juice poured over the top. I ended up ordering some toast instead, when the waiter cleared my barely touched bowl away, he didn't even bother to ask what was wrong, I told him that I'd ordered bircher muesli and asked him what this bowl of liquid was, and he just shrugged and said it was apple juice......doh!

I was not happy with the food but the coffee was quite nice. It was well presented and the loved silky espresso crema was distinctive. It has plenty of space and display of characteristic coffee equipments showed dedication to coffee. There are proper chairs and tables so nice place for people like reading books for a long time while sipping coffee. People who love Campos in Newtown but regret the lack of space, this cafe is an option.

Totally different from Potts Point. I was very upset about nasty Korean the other day but I really like this cafe. All staffs are friendly and beautiful coffee art. I definitely come back here.

Came for the coffee beans for home and found a buzzing atmosphere. Stayed for some lunch and a few espressos. Loved the Yemeni spectacular and then their Fair trade blend as a latte. Damn good too. Great value fresh food coffee even huge tea slelction and knowledgable staff to help me out with coffee machines and beans. What a find!
