Now I think that people are more in love with the owners than the coffee. The staff here are all from one family. And they are the sweetest people you'll meet. They also have home cooked muffins and treats. However, the coffee is not great. It is dark and bitter, which personally I like. But it was slightly over brewed. I might go here again, as it is cheaper than other places and I might want a home made muffin.

Look for the kiosk with the big umbrella and A frames. Really lovely, easy to drink coffee. Also does single origin. I'm pretty sure this used to be a different coffee place which wasn't anything special in my opinion- so comparatively this is great. There is normally a big crowd of people waiting if u come past here in the morning- but the wait is never too long so it's worth waiting.

So I walked past this Kiosk by accident. I was walking in Martin Place, and I saw a sign saying…read more'prize winning' coffee. So I thought that I have to try it. So Abana is one of these new 'only' coffee kiosks that have opened up in Martin Place. They sell some biscuits and muffins, but this is another place that is just about the coffee. They serve Barrel One coffee beans - so they have a lot to live up to. And the coffee was good. And this means a lot, because there is a lot of places here. And Abana is one of the best. If you just want coffee, then stop off here. It is a darker bean so it is good if that's what you are looking for. If you want a smoother bean then you should visit Brooklyns which is one block down. But I would definately give Abana a try if you are a coffee lover.

They have a Nicaraguan which is good for filter/batch brew, and an Ethiopian that they recommend for espresso drinks. Buying a bag of beans cost anywhere from $19-24 AUD, though the beans are often roasted within the past week. Each time I've visited, they have been friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Kingswood Coffee!

After checking out North Sydney, my husband and I decided to sit down for a coffee break (well,…read moremore to satisfy my newfound affogato obsession). Here, the affogato is served with the shot of espresso on the side for you to pour over your ice cream. I actually really like this idea as the ice cream doesn't start melting excessively before being served to you. The espresso and ice cream were very smooth. My husband ordered an iced coffee, which was also served with a scoop of ice cream in it. DELICIOUS. The service was decent, with ample seating. Both together cost just under $10. If I end up in the area in the future, I would come here again.

I just had to take a photo because it captures what this cafe is all about-warm, thoughtful staff who insist on only one thing: 'Life is too short to have bad coffee.' I couldn't agree more. Luckily, the coffee here is as good as the service. The premises are small so the outdoor seating may fill up quickly but if you can grab a seat, this is the perfect place to take a breather and enjoy a frothy cappuccino after all that shopping you have just done at the plaza.

If you are a city-sider, you would be aware that there are many little kiosks selling newsagent things, fruit and now coffee in the city (especially around Martin place and George st!). It took me a few looks before I realised it was actually a coffee place! Honestly, there was no visible menu so I rolled the dice and ordered a flat white. I normally like to check out what's on offer (and prices). The thing that bothered me the most was the size of the cups. I ordered a regular but the size I got was probably between an espresso cup and a regular cup. Yet it still cost me $3.50. Unfortunately it didn't look like I had gotten enough bang for my buck. However the saving grace was of course the coffee itself. Not only was my first sip velvety smooth and creamy with all that froth, the milk was heated to the perfect temperature and the coffee was of a nice blend. Sure, the blend could've been a bit stronger but it still makes a pretty damn good coffee. Also, the staff are extremely nice and the waiting time was very short so that makes me a happy customer. Buying coffee at a kiosk just got a whole new meaning!

I am often in Sydney for work, and sometimes for fun, and usually get the train to Whynyard. After an early start for one of the firstflights from Tullamarine to Kingsford Smith, coffee is often high on my agenda, and Three Beans Cafe is a welcome sight. Not only is the coffee great, the staff are always on good form, including plenty of banter with regulars they obviously know well and get along with. The food looks amazon as well, although I have never eaten. Long ques possible at peak times, but that's a great sign.

Over the past few months it changed name to 'Manly Coffee Guild' and we decided to give it a go. The cafe primarily focuses on coffee and other beverages, however pre-prepared sandwiches/croissants and cakes are also sold there. The service is generally quite efficient and there is a good atmosphere inside with a friendly atmosphere. I particularly like the music they play in-store. Recently it's been a lot of Beatles and Billy Joel and older style tunes. There's some comfy couches and magazines and papers if you want to spend a while there. Coffee is really good and I would recommend for those who don't like their coffee overly milky. It is strong without having a bitter/burnt flavour, and not too watery or creamy. It's probably my favourite place in Manly for a skinny latte. There are also outside seats available, which I would prefer during the warmer months as it's quite hot inside the cafe.

Didn't try the food yet but for me it's quite simply a fantastic latte for $4. Period.read more
