Dose, Willoughby – Rating: 19.5/25

Dose – I love the name and I love that this humble café embodies the passion of baristas and coffee lovers alike.  Ristretto, espresso, chai, cold drip, they do it all and they do it well. The interior is tiny … Continue reading

H2O Café, Narrabeen – Rating: 22/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

I could have picked a better day to visit a waterside café!  Through blustery wind and drenching rain, we huddled within the spacious, elegant interior glad to be inside.  Outdoor seating is available and this would certainly be a prime … Continue reading

We have been to Sea Bar before.  So why again when there are so many cafés along the strip?  Strolling along the Dee Why beach front, it just seems to have the right amount of customers (a lot meaning the … Continue reading

Café On Strand, Croydon – Rating: 17.5/25

This gallery contains 7 photos.

After neglecting Croydon for far too long, Café On Strand is our first review in the suburb!  With no spare tables outside, we seated ourselves within.  The interior is spacious but we found it far too loud and echoey.  All … Continue reading

Circa, Parramatta – Rating: 22.5/25

This gallery contains 8 photos.

Circa Espresso is a testament to fabulous interior design and the ability to turn a narrow space into something very special.  The normally bustling centre of Parramatta is deadly quiet on early Sunday mornings.  And another plus is the fact … Continue reading
