Claimed

Generous volume for the Toby’s Nicaraguan espresso - spicy notes and some molasses, it did bitter somewhat on the aftertaste. The Myanmar batch was the real star, a beautiful mix of butterscotch and peach - real good.

Lovely Guatemalan batch came with florals and fruit Toby’s washed Costa Rican espresso was a more bergamot affair.

Travelling from Gold Coast. Preferred cafe- Dust Temple (to gauge palate/taste). Bought cappuccinos here on Beanhunter review. We found the coffee to be “meh”. But great, friendly, cool staff. The hunt for great coffee in Chatswood continues...

Natural Myanmar espresso had some delicious spicy cherry - real good Costa Rican batch was berry heavy - also real good

High acidity to the Myanmar cold brew made for an excellent drop. Another cold brew on different Myanmar beans, while good, wasn’t up there with the banga that was the first cold brew.

Always such a a treat- great atmosphere to match the coffee and their veggie food is morish. Will be back gang

Asked if they had heyu app, sassy 20 something promptly advised me to just get their earlier to order? Umm excuse me, was a genuine question and no there won’t be a next time if she presumes to think I couldn’t wait for their over rated brew.

Went both a Myanmar cold brew and Costa Rican cold brew. Preferred the Costa, which was cleaner and displayed more acidity. Both were good

Kenyan washed espresso made me think of butterscotch and red apples - real tasty punchy shot. Natural Ethiopian batch was easy drinking.

Really enjoyed the natural Myanmar espresso, had less of the fermented flavour that Toby’s Estate Myanmar usually seem to have, was a more rounded caramel number. Natural Ethiopian batch - described as ‘cumquat juice’ - had a very tasty citrus sweetness
