Great coffee and very friendly and genuine service. Can be a bit busy on weekends but there is always a smile and good service no matter what the time of day. Seems to be strong local support and cafe fits in well to the local street scape. Coffee is fine - medium strength but you can order stronger if needed. Perhaps needs a bigger range of muffins (?). I travel a lot and wish there was a Saabi in most cities particularly one on the way to the airport!
Strongly recommended.
Saabi make great coffee. Simple really. Take great beans, great equipment, great staff and great customer service, and you get a great cafe experience.
Regardless of the fact that I just escaped from Coffee-Lover's Hello, more commonly known as South East Asia, my double ristretto and piccolo this morning (ok, and my guilty-pleasure Croissant too) were awesome. Only the time of day (0800) and Blood Caffeine Level (5) forced me to resist another round.
Yum - SO Glad to be home!
Saabi > Dandelion and Driftwood. As they're in close proximity they're often compared, but due to the often enormous waiting time outside DandD and the cute, quirky nature o Saabi, I'd go with Saabi.

Food is really good, kind of reminds me of home-cooked food mum's would make. We usually go for toasties, and there is also a lavender cheesecake on offer at times which is sensational. The fitout is home-chic and is in a great spot in Hendra, which is a beautiful suburb in general.
Like • Share • ReportWelcoming cafe on Manson Rd, it's a friendly spot with a great shaded outdoor area. They are a real community focused cafe and help out with some good causes.
They make great coffee whether it's an espresso or latte, the Veneziano beans go well with both.
The fridge is full of some mouth watering home made eats.
It's easy to see why the have such a strong local following.
What a find in the traditionally not so great coffee suburbs.
Lovely roasted Veneziano beans and very delicious tasty morsels to have with.
Quite and simple but very satisfying.
The girls here know what they’re doing and are passionate about coffee and it really does translate to the cup. Yum !
