  Came highly recommended from an acquaintance. Needless to say we're not friends anymore. Seriously the coffee here sucks. Asked the barista for a double ristretto and was served an extra hot latte. The coffee tasted over extracted and I burnt the roof of my mouth. Geez coffee does suck on the central coast!

  Stopped in here for an afternoon pick me up and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting an average cup and instead found it to be quite good. nice full flavour and good consistency. My muffin was nice and moist even for 3 in the afternoon

  Kiwi barista gets the most out of Danes beans. Can be hit and miss if she is not around.

  Great coffee, well textured. Yes I am a fan if Danes beans but they do them justice at this place. The banana bread actually had banana in it. Bit of a rarity these days.

  I discovered this trendy cafe a few weeks after it opened. The owner is very friendly and goes out of his way to accommodate. Courtney the barista is excellent and the coffee is consistently good. Always busy and friendly. Food is fantastic too!

  After hearing good things about this place I went here a few times before I stopped trying. Staff are really friendly and food is good but if you're after coffee just drive on by.

  At first this place looked really promising; great atmosphere and good reviews. However, if its coffee your after; drive 5 minutes down the road to Glee Coffee Roasters.
  This isn't worth it, coffee was bitter, and had no latte art. I'm not a fan of Danes beans to begin with; but they don't... Read more

  This place easily serves the best coffee on the Coast, and at reasonable prices. Their brekky and lunch menus are great value too: the eggs are always cooked to perfection and all portions are generous. The owners are super friendly, and both (main) baristas (Courtney and Derek) produce excellent... Read more

  A very welcome addition to the local Wamberal shops offering great coffee, service and some interesting culinary delights to please even the fussiest of palates. There are great choices for the health conscious too!

  I have been going to this cafe since it opened a few months ago. The coffee is always consistent and is the best on the coast by far. The wraps too are a hit with my family - try the veggie one.

  Great spot away from Terrigal. Super friendly service, simple menu, coffee served with a mini muffin. Enough room to meet someone for coffee and have a private conversation without the table beside you listening.

  When I saw them building the Emporium I was really hoping they would do good coffee, and I haven't been disappointed. The coffee situation on the coast is dire and it's awesome to finally be able to get a good coffee on the coast. Even better, the staff are friendly and the food is great. Love it!
