Services is brilliant, its not a large establishment with a large menu as they known exclusively for their coffee. David AKA "The coffee ninja" is a master barrister, his happy to recommend things from their… amazing Cold brew to there delicious In house ground TA bags of beans. their choice of Milk is great from normal, skim and soy to Macadamia and Oat.. I myself cannot go a day without atleast a oatmilk hot chocolate (which is like chocolate porridge) ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. makes Bertonies coffee taste like McDonald's early 90s coffee.

I ordered Flat white at Balmain store and was overcharged. I thought that they may mistake to Filtered coffee. So, before providing me the coffee, I confirmed them. They said filter is also good why not try? and they said “flat white” and gave me the coffee taste like “added milk in filtered coffee”.

Excellent coffee! All the time. No exceptions!
The baristas are always smiley, even at 7am when I'm not.
Cute little hole in the wall off Darling Street.
Oh, and they have a pre-ordering, queue avoiding app which links to your card and is time saving-ly awesome!
I love this place. Balmain favourite.

You know a cafe is serious about its coffee when the food menu comes in second. Don't expect to find big breakfast dishes here, but a good cup of coffee is always in residence. They have their own blend, roasted onsite at their Annandale store. There isn't a lot of seating but you can always grab a coffee and daily wrap, head across the road to the park and relax on the grass.
