    The coffee in this little cafe is divine. Smooth, perfect drinking temperature and the smell of the pastries cooking away is incredible. Be quick, only 4 seats in the house! Although you can perch on the ledge outside too.

    I found out recently that the boys from Shenkin (Bar, Din and their father Eric) had quietly opened a new outlet on King St Newtown in the form of an Espresso Bar.

    The emphasis here is on take away coffees as there is limited space inside.
    What space there is, is taken up by... Read more

    He was.

    And of course we chatted... Read more

    Nice new cafe, though there is very limited seating, takeaway is the only option every time that I have gone there.
    The jam donuts are yummy and a favorite, though they can be a little hard in the afternoon, the staff mentioned that the donuts were not the best when put into the warming... Read more

    I will get off at a different train station so that I can walk via this gem. A tiny nook - yet the painstaking efforts put into the preparation, extraction, and creation of every coffee is a wonderful and welcome sight. The result: Magnificence.
