They do a good macchiato. Sharp and full flavoured without being bitter, with a glass of water to care for your kidneys.

Great setting on a spring morning.

Though you should wear a suit and read the financial review if you want to blend in with the locals.

Got a take away flatty. Pretty good - could be a little stronger but overall nice flavour. They roast their own beans and look quite serious about the art of coffee. Will see how they go over the rest of the week.

Fortunately this cafe has free WiFi because it has pretty ordinary coffee. Perhaps they'd be able to get away with it in the suburbs, but not in Newtown with Campos, Cafe Ella and The Shortlist all within spitting distance.

Flat white was overly milky and weak with an oddly bitter aftertaste.

But if you're on King St and urgently need to go online...

THE place to be for chilled out lunch in the Bay. Great coffee and good food and plenty of contented locals and tourists spread out on the grass enjoying the sun.
