Espresso Bar at Knox is a dedicated coffee place that does only take away coffee and hot drinks and that's pretty much it - so you would expect it to be good. Never disappoints. Not only are the coffees a great strength and texture, they are consistent, regardless of who you get to make it for you (which is a challenge to get right). We are regulars and will continue to be.

The portion was was good with plenty of Avo and Salmon and the eggs were perfectly poached and runny. The only slightly negative thing I can say is that I asked for the hollandaise sauce to be on the side and it came out all over the top, but I just scrapped some off and it was fine! Coffee was great came out piping hot but not bitter. They provide plenty of alternatives to milk if needed/wanted - Soy, lactose free, almond milks etc! Space is a bit tight, but is also in the middle of a shopping centre.

I was surprised at the large amount of freshly baked bread and decided to stock up a weeks worth of breads as well as a few muffins for myself and some workmates which was amazing , Other than all the breads anyone could want this guys have all kinds of other treats including cookies in many shapes and sizes pies ( apple pie, berry pie, meat pies an all the other pies), sticky date puddings, soft drinks and coffee which is honestly no that all praise worthy.

A non-pretentious little shop that sells fresh bread, pizza rolls, ham cheese rolls, cakes, croissants, sandwiches and other typical bakery items. They are quite busy during the mornings, with workers constantly coming in and out for a takeaway coffee and ham cheese croissant. They sell a few cakes (orange and poppy seed, sticky date, cheesecake, mud etc.), cupcakes, tarts, gingerbread men and meringues etc. They also sell muffins fresh in the mornings that are absolutely delicious! The flavors change every day, but they are all so good. I had a berry one once, and there was swirl of raspberry jam all the way through, it was fantastic. Definitely grab yourself a muffin from here. This bakery also stocks milk and pies.

I've eaten here a few times now, and this cafe continually impresses me…read more The food is great. Beautiful Dench sourdough breads (also available to purchase in whole loaves), perfectly poached eggs, and an interesting menu with beautiful presentation make it a delight to eat here. The coffee is veneziano, made well, and there is usually a single origin coffee available. No filter coffee menu, but the single origin espresso option is usually fresh and enjoyable. And available! Which is spectacular in the outer eastern suburbs, where I am usually met with a blank state when I ask if there is a single origin coffee on offer. They have Larsen and Thompson teas available, but if you like to be specific about how your tea is brewed, be prepared, as they serve them without brew timers. The space is nice, with an outdoor table out the front, some tables inside, and space out the back. It can get busy! Especially on the weekend. The staff are great, though, with service being prompt and friendly, and chatty when it's not too busy. *TL;DR: currently the best specialty coffee cafe in the outer eastern suburbs, so visit!

TV on wall showing music videos but the customers don't seem interested in it. The place certainly looks clean and inviting in a slightly cramped clinical sort of way. The tables are small but should comfortably fit four adults but not much wiggle room around them would really limit you to three I think. The mug of Flat White is a good size and is nice and hot with a good flavour, the chai latte tastes nice but having never tried it before, I have no reference to compare it to. Certainly nice enough for me to try again. There are a plethora of items to choose from to eat. I had a delicious roast beef and salad with cheese and lovely mustard with my choice of roll, a great combination of flavours and textures. The tandoori wrap was a delight but bordered on the edge of being to hot. Then you cast your eye over a sheer symphony of delightful desserts, a masterpiece of items to get your taste buds jumping up and down with delicious anticipation. How do you decide from such a selection, can you stop at just one or do you flee to save that waist line you've sacrificed so much for. Of course you get a couple of things promising yourself to work that bit harder next time at the Gym. Enjoy, it's the little pleasures in life that add up you know. So, will I drag myself reluctantly back here. You better believe it, especially now I can afford it since cancelling that pesky gym membership. Oh oh, there goes that waist line Back to reality for a moment, there were two uninvited guests at my table today, a legacy of the open door policy, Mr Mozzy and Mrs Blowy. Other than that, a really nice little place with very friendly staff and reasonable prices. Enjoy.
