    I was on a course around the corner so checked out Beanhunter and decided based on the reviews to check this place out first, I am glad I did! Very good coffee; over the 2 days I had 4 coffees that were consistently good, perfect temp and crema, and a robust but balanced flavour.

    New barista Paul just gets it done! The coffee has improved 10 fold! I have always liked it here but they are very good now! New menu too! If you haven't tried it in a while or had a bad experience in the past try it again!

    The coffee is constantly balanced and always the right temperature, the staff put in a lot of effort to make your experience worthy while. The music is pleasantly background noise! Although the cafe doesn't hot the mark for atmosphere.

    Some mornings I just have to stop here for my coffee fix. I'm never disappointed .. well, ok, maybe a little by the size of the coffees (one-size-fits-all) ... but a smaller size stops the great P&R coffee taste being diluted by milk. Great balanced coffee flavour, tick; right temperature, tick;... Read more

    Still great! Also there's a beautiful new cold drip being shown off on the communal table. Defs ready for the summer heat.

    I came here, the shop was packed and I was expecting great things. Damn, should have read previous reviews first!
    This experience was very disappointing, the order was originally incorrect and was rectified with the most bitter and overheated beverage I have has in a very long time.Read more

    Piccolo was a weird size, almost full size latte - which was weird. Milk was good, not quite silky enough but not too hot. Espresso was acceptable.

    Really inconsistent coffee - I have a mate who lives nearby so I have given this place a fair go. Really depends which barista you get as to how the coffee tastes.

    I have asked for a coffee to be remade here before and the remake was actually worse than the original order.

    Amazing coffee (best on upper north shore), terrific service, and a nice atmosphere.

    Pablo & Rusty's is situated right by the train station at Gordon, it always bustling with people and the coffee is most often very good, although I find the house blend doesn't quite hit the spot.
    They really need to install a decent air conditioner for summer as it's almost unbearable on a... Read more

    Day off and did the rounds of 3 coffee places! They were all on par. Glad people are still passionate about making coffee. Beautiful long back. Thanks!

    Great vibe, super great espresso and they do some awesome nibbly food that's good in the face! Not a lot of great coffee around north Sydney but this one is! Try their iced tea if you have the chance too!

    Use to really love this place, but have been 4 times in last month and have been so disappointed. Very arrogant young barista whose coffees to say the least are far below ordinary.I won't be back now! Much better coffee, with friendlier people across the tracks

    To be honest, it's hard not to like this place. Have heard awesome things about this place for so long. Finally decided to check it out! I'll start with the coffee: ordered a Guatemalan single origin short black. Wow. It had an awesomely pleasant kick to it with a fruity finish. Very impressed!... Read more

    Consistently great coffee. Was better a year or 2 ago, but still very good.
    They use a house blend roasted by AIR which is always fresh and interesting. The baristas do a good job of getting the flavors into the cup, although some better than others.
    The 3 group Synesso machine is... Read more

    My flat white was really nice and was beautifully presented. Although it was very crowded in the tiny room, it was nice and warm and cosy... but too loud to have a proper conversation.

    Pablos is a consistent cafe, while it is a good blend (and it should be said that any worthwhile coffee is good as a double ristretto) the standard is a little inconsistent, depending on who is on the machine, Sundays are particularly good at the moment, especially as most north shore cafe are shut...

    Coffee was ok although I had two and they both weren't hot enough. The service was slow and the young staff seemed more interested in talking to their friends or other staff rather than taking the coffees out.

    Good coffee - Long black was delicious. The atmosphere isn\'t great particularly with the morning rush.

    I'd say the food is a bit better than the coffee. Had a chicken, pumpkin sun dried tomato toasted sandwich, that was amazing. Seems the locals only get top service. All round - not bad.
