I discovered Fina possibly 6 months ago and have been meaning to write a review for quite some time, but it was my long black this morning that got me writing this review.

I'd like to start by saying that this is my pick for best coffee on the North Shore, it would be in my top 3 in Sydney too.

Staff are always cool and most importantly, nailing the shots and milk behind the machine. There are only 2 barista's who make the coffee (one being the owner) so this place is consistent and I would say I have never had a bad or even average coffee here.

Food is also very good I frequent the ...

Pablo & Rusty's is situated right by the train station at Gordon, it always bustling with people and the coffee is most often very good, although I find the house blend doesn't quite hit the spot.
They really need to install a decent air conditioner for summer as it's almost unbearable on a hot day, but in winter it's the ideal place for a nice coffee in Sydney's north.

After hearing good thing's about this place, I visited on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a lengthy line and wait- which I don't mind if the coffee is worth waiting for. Had a double ristretto piccolo and it was quite burnt so I had a single shot cap and it was also a burnt shot that stayed in my mouth for the next 30 minutes.
I'll try them again when I'm next in the area but wasn't a pleasant first experience.

The Source features a roaster in the shop and they do their own blend, with a good amount of space leftover. But on every visit having both sit down and takeway coffees I've found the extractions to be quite inconsistent- and often on the bitter/burnt side. Might be due to overroasting their blend but i'm sure it'll improve in the future.
Being open on Sundays is a plus, but for the best coffee in Mosman I'd stick to the Penny Royale.
