When we visit Sydney again, I will go out of my way to ensure that I get coffee here again as often as possible during our visit. One of the best, most enjoyable coffee shops I've ever been to in the world.

Not only was the coffee good, but so was the service. I came back the next day to try the food and it was just as good. I had the avocado balsamic toast with an egg and it ended up being one of the best meals I had in Sydney. The place is small but they have outdoor seating so I didn't have to wait. It seems quite popular in the neighborhood as the 3 times I went there during my trip they always had all tables in use and people seated outside. Definitely give them a try!

We were sat across the restaurant. It's raining but we were sitting under the roof. We ordered a beef brisket sandwich, a tuna melt and The Deb (avocado toast).

The tuna melt was very tasty as well. The sourdough bread was well toasted adding some crunchiness. I'll definitely go back for more.

I feel so much more 'La Buvette' than 'The Refreshment Stand.' And that feeling is addictive. It could also be the food. As you'd pick up from the telltale noun gendering, the menu is French inspired with an Aussie twist. So while you'll surly find your Salad Niçoise, crêpes and baguettes, you'll also sit down to one of Sydney's best breakfasts and killer coffees. The vegan brekkie is a standout, as are the strawberry pancakes and eggs bene. The specials on the blackboard are drool-inducing as well, but I can never make it past the breakfast menu.

Everything they do, they do well: the wait staff are always friendly, the location is great (the footpath has just been expanded into the road so there's more outdoor seating than there used to be)... and you're never let down by the food. There's just something about sitting out on Challis Ave with friends, perhaps with the paper or a book, that makes this place classic Sydney.

Also this is usually a 2nd option for a lot of people when the line at Fratelli Paradiso across the road is too long... My experience here was really good.

I said thanks and he said you're welcome. Then I did the double take and my friend was about to lose it. But luckily we both kept calm and tried to concentrate on my eggs. This is apparently his favourite breakfast place and also of many other beautiful people in Sydney due to the good coffee. So if you want a bit of sparkle with your coffee, Spring Espresso is where to go to stalk...errr....eat lol.

The café has a very European feel in its size, decor and ambience. Even the service felt European: efficient but far from in-your-face. Very popular with the gay crowd, too.
