  Excellent Coffee, smooth yet bold flavour that is a little unique from most.

  Still brilliant. Each and every coffee they put out is perfection and their dedication to their craft is second to none.

  Great coffee every time. It is hard these days to find a cafe that is consistently good - these guys are. No contest, the best coffee in Wollongong.

  Had a great flat white here last weekend. Great looking rosetta, perfect texture and temperature. Wish I had time to stay for a few espressos. Next time I'll be trying their single origin beans.

  I like this cafe and the mini roastery they have. The coffee was consistently good for everyone in our group and the service was very nice (a small change from the attitudes at the cafes down crown st). From what i understand they also supply a few other cafes. great stuff!

  stopped in to get a take away after a bad experience somewhere else this morning, it's a great little cafe but it would be even greater if the staff smiled once in a while (particuly the guy that seems to be the owner) I ordered a double latte, didn't have to wait long thankfully and left with a...

  Great light bright venue off the mall with a motivated crew behind the machine. The sort of place you could take anyone to - colleague, friend, family.
  
  Coffee very solid, distinctly fruity - well made as you would expect for a wholesale roaster cafe.

  Great place for a coffee through the working day. Gets busy though. Good espresso shot but sometimes it comes in a cappuccino cup which I don't enjoy so much.

  coffee was very hot - burnt my tongue. Needed 3 sugars (I never use sugar). Service was average. Worth a second visit. Not in a hurry though

  The place has a nice enough atmosphere, with friendly and helpful staff. I found the coffee okay, but not as good as I was hoping considering they roast their own house blend on site. I appreciate the fact that they roast single origins, but they really need more information about the region from... Read more

  Nice service, coffee had a good flavour but wasn't strong enough for me, too much milk I think.. My cappuccino was more of a latte. Would go back, just need to be a bit specific with what you order.

  The service and atmosphere were so so... However, the coffee more than made up for this... These guys are well trained and definitely know what they're doing. No meals and no eftpos...

  great coffee, roasted on-site. for that true wollongong coffee experience. lively space - though the bench seats are a bit too high for the tables. Friendly staff, great service.

  Recommended by a local. Piccolo was right temp, good microfoam and decent shot pulled. If I was to nitpick, it would be that heads weren't flushed between shots, steam wand wasn't purged between jugs and despite investing in dittings I saw prepacked handles sitting on the bench oxidising for up to...

  I often come to Swell when I come into Wollongong central on a weekday. I find the coffee great. Atmosphere is pleasant and good music. It can be noisy at peak times and only snacks are served here. I was missed in service today and they gave me a few shortbread to make up for it. Lovely staff if... Read more

  Great atmosphere. Really friendly staff. Smiling laughing and seemed overly happy. I ordered a ristretto and it was a little slow but that could be because it was quite busy. It came in a cap cup instead of a demi-tasse which was suprising. My friend ordered a flat White which was too milky... Read more

  Good coffee. Own roasted beans. Barista is usually happy to chat about the coffee if you are interested. Must visit if you live in the gong.

  Great layout of the cafe Nice staff Good coffee but sometimes the espresso shot is a bit burnt depending on the barista. Would be good if the roasting area was more open so you could check it out and smell the roasts.
