    These guys are quite inconsistent now, it totally depends on who's behind the machine. I have had some fabulous coffees from one guy a few months ago, but some very poor ones from other staff more recently. They really need to get a couple of good baristas to turn out moe consistent quality.

    Nice flavour - had a piccolo but it could have been hotter. Food flavour and one of the better ones in the wahroongah shops

    Neat little place, coffee had a brightness coming through the slightly overheated milk, needed the respite before a function, I would come back for this coffee!!

    Had a flat white on the house blend (not Morgan's!!) and a Costa Rica single origin as a piccolo. Blend didn't quite cut through the milk, but the SO was fantastic.

    Didn't have any food so can't rate, but as far as coffee goes, this is my pick in wahroonga by some margin. I will be... Read more

    4/7/12 Good coffee, early service (open by 6:30am)! If there weren't next door to "Pasta Deli" they'd be the the best on the street! Tough comp next door with the campos... 7.5/10 for Wahroonga 6.5/10 for Sydney Well done!

    Now I understand the story behind the name... Anyway, like my previous review, coffee is good, nice beans which I have used at home, but-if you have a kitchen and a food menu then you can't classify The Laneway as an espresso bar, espresso bars do coffees and the odd cake etc. So I stand by my...

    They use Morgan's. Interior design is cheap. Place is tiny. Owner/manager is a weirdo. Don't rate this place.

    Been a regular here since it opened. The coffee and service is consistently fantastic. Single origin coffee has just recently become available, so there is always something a little different to try. What other customers need to understand is that Columbus/the Laneway espresso is an espresso bar... Read more

    I'd be lying if I said your review didn't press my buttons, but that's only because it was ignorant, offensive and bordering on racist. You're well within your rights to write a review... it's just that your review was purely an ego trip and didn't actually tell anyone anything useful about the... Read more

    Consistently good coffee here, best on Wahroonga. Rich, full bodied espresso with mild acidity and creamy caps and lattes from the beautiful Mirage Triplette and BNZ conical. Staff are very skilled, friendly and helpful, and they have an ever growing food menu. Great atmosphere too!

    After searching everywhere for this cafe I finally realised it's Columbas Coffee! Why it's called The Lanewsy Espesso I have no idea.. Anyway coffee is great but that's about it. Service is terrible and food isn't much better...consistently bad food ( how hard is it to get a sandwich right!) only... Read more

    Wow! Bighairy, you must have the sensory skills of someone who far surpasses the few people in this country who've struggled through q-grader exams and have proven themselves capable of detecting the subtleties of the flavours that have so far been categorised for coffee. It's over-zealous sippers... Read more
