Essence on Donald

Personally my favourite coffee in the area ... it tastes good every time

Good tasting coffee but should have been hot not warm. Great lemon meringue slice.

My wife and i had breakfast at this lovely little cafe. The food is well cooked, delicious and very well priced. The french toast is to die for. The coffee was well extracted a mild roast and most pleasant. Will return.

Food is alright, nothing special. Coffee fairly average. Nice people and nice location

Coffee was well made with a mild flavour. Quite enjoyable & worth trying.

very nice bean. ok Barista.

Had breakfast & coffee here today & was very impressed with the friendly staff & service. Soon as you walk in the door your met with a smile & greeting. Coffee was nice, good temperature & meal was also good. They even brought water over for my dog without asking 😊 I quite liked inside, it's not all fancy but nice & quant. Overall great place to visit highly recommend & will return.

Great coffee after an overnight stay in Nelson Bay. They aren't making speciality coffee claims or anything, so outside of speciality coffee, this is really as good as it gets, perhaps better than that made by some self identified specialists. Long Black was clean with chocolate notes. It was very well made and Great service, which is much welcomed before and after a long stretch on the road. Nice location too.

Have had consistently good coffee over the past two weeks. If you want a good coffee (and not ambience) in Nelson Bay this is the place.

Nice little place with good coffee and homemade treats.
