Drove past and thought it looked like a cool little place, so stopped and went in to have a coffee. First off the coffee was lovely, a Double Roasters blend, perfect pour with just the right amount of tannins, could do with a touch more chocolate in cheek, but thats just my personal taste. I walked straight up to the counter and the barista said nothing (never a good start). So I ordered my coffee and remarked I had driven past and like the look to stopped and come in, I got a monosyllabic teenage grunt in response. Kit out is cool and the spot is amazing, an old repurposed garage. But the atmosphere is ruined but the service (the trick is to never.stop.smiling). Could be a 9/10, but points lost for atmosphere and service. Good coffee, great kit out, but unfortunately no atmosphere due to inhospitable hospitality.
I don’t know if it’s just me or perhaps I just catch them on bad days/bad times of the days but I can’t say I’ve ever had a good/pleasant/nice experience.They always make me feel weird when I walk in. It’s never that happy cafe vibe like elsewhere. It’s always dull, dark and sad. They rarely crack a smile or even a conversation unless it’s amongst themselves.There is one lady though, (tall, skinny and blonde), she’s heaps nice and knows exactly what she’s doing. If I don’t see her behind the counter or if she’s not working, I won’t go in. She’s 1 of 2 stars.The second star is for the sausage rolls, they’re amazing but they never prepare enough so you have to get in early.
Cool little garage with a couple of tables and stools selling good quality coffee. Some food basics too like soup, croissants, rolls etc. I just got a latte which was good Very pleasant service too. aroundtheclockfoodie.com
It’s no doubt my favourite to-go-cafe in the hood. A precious gem in Marrickville that serves consistently good coffee. Love their avo on toast. Despite this seemingly average and easy dish, they create a flavourful smack to it with the specially blend avo spread. Scrolls are pretty amazing too. Personal favourite is sesame scroll but it runs out by 1pm on average.
