John Smith Cafe

The Eggs Benedict here is incredible - I have tried two types on their menu so far and both have been amazing. The venue is great and the service is great. The coffee was ok - a bit too weak for my liking.

Espresso was a fairly gutsy number, as you expect for an Natural Ethiopian (from Barrel One). Sweetened on cooling, with something red grape like. Washed Ethiopian (another Barrel One) had pleasing buttery mouthfeel

Very impressed with the almond cap. Good service too!

Columbian espresso was sort of darker choc to start but did veer towards bitterness at the end Enjoyed the Kenyan batch, made me think of green apple skins with that style of sweetness but also an underlying tartness. As it cooled became more grapefruit with an accompanying increase in acidity. Another espresso, this time on a Costa Rican was more fruity and finished more cleanly than first espresso- nice.

New favourite coffee, very nice.

Another visit

Really really good coffee. Great burgers. Great place.

Great coffee, food and atmosphere. Zetland and Alexandria need more places like this.

Columbian espresso had a nice tingling acidity but an underlying sourness detracted from what could have been - good not great.

Columbian espresso had golden syrup cinnamon vibe - real nice. Flat white on the same beans had soo on temp, texture and taste - real good
