    It's not the quietest spot to sit for a coffee, but if you are after a *good* coffee it is definately worth the stop. A lovely little space inside, beautifully and thoughtfully renovated, fits the vintage of the building and suburb perfectly. The coffee was made by the most friendly and chirpy... Read more

    Brilliant chocolatie single Origen flat white. The staff was great, very knowledgable and friendly. They sold me a bag of beans which might as well be magic beans because they taste as good as ten good things going through my espresso machine at home. Thanks for the tips guys keep up the great work... Read more

    Coffee may be good, but, i was met with staff who were aloof and rude. Obviously they were too busy to be dealing with me!

    Great full bodied chocolate coffee roasted by them. Great service from the nice staff gave me a beautiful single origin from indo, Java Jampit for my second short mac. Love it.

    I'm always looking for an excuse to visit Fonzie Abbott's over at Hamilton and a misdirected parcel at the local Post Office was todays reason. Usually a Latte/Flat White guy, on great advice from the knowledgable and friendly Bobbie I had a Piccolo on the Blend of the Month - a super smooth,... Read more

    I come here a couple of times per week and the staff are always friendly and I drink great coffee every time. Love the food and the atmosphere most of all the simple joys of trying different coffees from around the world every week.

    Liked the interior and set up, cool mazocco gleaming in the corner. Coffee was great, like the idea of the alternating blends and origins to have in store good to see that happening at more places, and a range i could take home freshly grinded.

    What a great little addition to Racecourse Road (which is in desperate need of good coffee), Giesen Roaster included. This small cafe has a great atmosphere (might be quite bright in the morning however!) and good coffee. My piccolo was well textured with some sharp notes (being pulled off... Read more

    I only just heard about Fonzie Abbott Espresso a couple of weeks ago - before that, I had no idea you could find a decent coffee in the Racecourse Road part of Hamilton. I had the pleasure of discovering this place this morning, and it really made an impression.

    The fit out of this... Read more

    Fonzie Abbott Espresso is one of those places that seem to transport you away from the mundane, even though it is located on the busy Racecourse Rd. The small ‘deck’ out the front provides the opportunity to look beyond the busyness to the blossoming poincianas and other places free from worry.... Read more

    Nice set up. Barista was pleasant, but have to admit I wasn't expecting a great coffee when I noticed her using the "magic no hands" steaming technique. However coffee was served at good temp, and espresso cut through the milk well.

    Checked out the new location ok Brunswick street. I won't be back... Fit out is GORGEOUS, and I have been driving past and waiting in anticipation for it to open as it looks so inviting! However, we were met with two very unenthusiastic baristas and were served very hot and over extracted piccolos... Read more

    Went through here yesterday and had an awesome single origin PNG as an espresso and a piccolo. I was very impressed with the recommendation of these and my friends drinks on their drifter blend, by the 2 guys behind the bar.

    I love the fit out the shop has, like a stylish funked out... Read more

    We had breakfast next door ( luck this isn't breakfasthunter ) then headed over for a coffee. Been wanting to stop in here for a while as a mate talks about it often. Service was great, shop fit out was (given the size) very cool and interesting, love seeing the roaster in the shop, it signals... Read more

    I have mostly been disappointed with the coffee I've had from this place. Being close to my place I was looking forward to a specialty coffee place opening up around the corner.

    Most of the people working there are rude, and quite obviously don't want to be there serving anyone.... Read more

    Chanced upon this cafe early this morning when leaving for a trip to the Sunshine Coast. Big thumbs up for being open at 6am! Great coffee, although the machine had just been turned on.

    stopped by after reading the glowing reviews on this place. After visiting, i have to assume that the reviews were written by the owners of the coffee place, because honestly this cafe is nothing to right home about. the atmosphere is was the best thing about it. service could be called just barely...

    Had a coffee there this morning 14/02/2013.
    Got there at 6am which is the advertised opening time and was greeted by a very cranky European girl who made a terrible cold coffee.
    If the owner reads this I would suggest that they tell their staff to greet customers with a smile and not ... Read more

    Very happy after two visits. Have now had a selection of coffees. Tried the S.O today; 100% perfect extraction on my espresso. Very easy going atmosphere, but with style, and wonderful etiquette. My friends Flat White was a bit weak (although i had just finished a punchy espresso - the house... Read more

    This place has the best soy latte I have ever had. No matter what coffee I choose, it is always amazing.

    Consistancy is king and sweet FA for the most part get it right. I'm a small double or triple shot flat white man. Good value.
