    not a bad little spot. nice coffee. well made. soft textured milk. Proud Mary beans. didn't try the food but the menu looked nice. ridiculously small menu but nice nonetheless. 1/2 Penny did lack that something else, something intangible. it really does feel a bit like a semi-closed off corner of...

    Was fantastic! I went there for breakfast with my mum who is a complete coffee fanatic and she said it was one of the best coffee's she'd ever had, even got a second one! The atmosphere is great and they are super speedy with your food and drinks!

    I was in here on sunday after a late night. I ordered a magic, followed closely by another. Both were excellent. They were rather nice to enjoy in the sunshine.

    I came in for a magic and was greeted by two people I'd not seen before. They were nice. I ordered my magic and it came with a little less milk than usual. I inherited and the barista offered to out done more in. I declined and had it as it was. An even stronger magic. An excellent one at that.

    I'm declaring the 1/2 Penny to be my new local. It's a good 250 metres from my house and the coffee is great. Got a magic again today. Just the same as the other day - excellent.

    1/2 Penny has opened! This new little coffee shop has opened in a front section of the Penny Black, a well known pub on Sydney Road. I had seen the signs of their impending opening a while back and now that they've opened I went to check it out.

    First off, the place is nice. It's... Read more
