  I've been coming here for close on two years now. The coffee is, and has always been consistently good. Further, I've had the opportunity to try lots of other cafes in the area, and none seem to compare. On a day to day basis, the baristas at Home Espresso are super fast and efficient, almost...

  One of my favourite coffee places. Big, chewy blend (which I now buy for use at home) and skilled baristas. Plus, it's reasonably priced. What more can you ask?!

  The machine area is not kept very clean and the stickers on the Synesso just make it look tacky.
  Most important though, the coffee was only ok - I was expecting more. My espresso tasted like the pull was too long and tight, over extracting the beans. I watched for a bit and they were all... Read more

  Little bit tucked away but worth a visit. First experience here included a well made coffee (one criticism would be the temp, too hot for a 'have here'). The bean has a nice rich flavour and the milk was perfectly done. Staff seem nice, not too talkative though.

  This is the way to run a busy cafe. It's pretty flat out most times I've been, but the coffee is always excellent. Nice looking Synesso that they seem to make the most out of. I've been several times and think it's probably the best in North Sydney.

  North Sydney is a tough crowd for coffee because everyone needs it 5 minutes ago. Home Espresso manage to bang out coffee at appropriate speed but still prioritise quality. Of the many visits I've had, I have seen takeaway orders a mile long halted momentarily by a quick flushing of the group heads... Read more

  I absolutely agree with every reviewer that has given 8.0 or more points! A fantastic blend, two skilled baristas and a very consistent tasting experience have definitely made this place one my favourites!

  I had heard a lot of good things about this cafe and unfortunately was disappointed. I was greeted with a hello and a smile which is great. I ordered a 3/4 latte which the girl taking my order seemed confused about. When the barista made my coffee he just out it on the counter without actualy... Read more

  Espresso was typical Jack and the bean - charry, burnt, one dimensional, not much happening tastewise, dark as burnt toast but less enjoyable.
  
  I liked the length of the shot, and mouthfeel was on the thin side but not unpleasant. Crema dissipated as the shot reached the table.Read more

  This place is easily the best coffee North Sydney. The attention to detail required to work their Synesso machine is apparent in every cup of coffee. Even my Macchiato comes with a Love Heart!

  I go to Home Espresso almost every lunch time and I have tried most of the local North Sydney coffee places and this place has to be the best. I only get ristrettos and in my humble opinion the South African barrister certainly, again the best in N Sydney.

  It's the attention to quality and detail that see the lads at Home Espresso make the best coffee in North Sydney. Delicious coffee, fantastic mouthfeel. Never over-extracted, burnt or bitter.
  Should do a lot more in the way of their food: while they offer the standard fare of banana breads,... Read more

  Great place to get coffee, busy in the morning but the baristas are fast hands so never wait too long for the coffee! Coffee is consistantly very good. Although the food is not very special but the coffee is the reason I wake up every morning ! The Best in North Sydney!
