Impressively, quick coffee. Convenient location, whether you’re catching a train or walking from the car park to Westfield. Ordered a mocha and have to agree with other reviews, one of the nicest mochas I’ve had in a long time. No fuss, friendly service. Will definitely visit again.

BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS NOT GOING YEARS EARLIER!!!! I was recommended to grab the bacon and egg roll by a friend and we’ll that’s what I ordered today. As much as I love the smell of bacon cooking this roll just melts in your mouth. That’s why even in my pic there is already a bit coz I could not control myself.In saying that is it worth the $10 HELL YEAH IT IS . I can be get addicted to this roll. The customer service is amazing and it all gets and overall of perfect. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

After all the chaos trying to get to the airport from the Central Coast this morning, this was definitely the glimmer in my day! Great, friendly service, exceptionally good coffee and a top notch Vegemite & Cheddar toastie. I would definitely consider re-routing via Hornsby to visit again
