A lighter choice is the Bircher meuseli with fresh fruit. As well as coffee, tea, milkshakes, fresh juices, brekkie & lunch items they have some delicious cakes and biscuits.

Gordon's Pablo & Rusty's has been a mainstay on my list of great cafes for the last few years…read more Positioned in a relative dead area for coffee, it has always provided a welcome reprieve from the average coffee found in the surrounding suburbs. Also given that they are open 7 days a week, they can be a lifesaver. As for their quality, I have found that compared to the rest of the Pablo & Rusty's cafes, this is my favorite. The staff are generally quite passionate about the quality of their coffee, and have the skill level to play around with it. While the chance you'll get a great coffee here is quite high, on occasion it can taste quite commercial, but that has more to do with the roast than the cafe. Certainly for the area, these guys are worth checking out. Passion: 8/10 Crema: 8/10 Coffee: Pablo & Rusty's

Constructed on the far left hand corner at the bottom of the escalators at Chatswood Interchange, it's difficult to miss as you can see the steam rising from Barista magic at work. It's busy, in a worker bee sense. People come and go clutching coffee, whilst 3 artisans work their craft. I rolled in here with my two elderly companions on Wednesday post lunch, and we were drawn to the little padded seats at the back, which also opens through to the other side. Ordering, then taking a seat, our talking point became the shelves in front of us with coffee and train paraphernalia. I grabbed the HONY book on display and attempted to explain the concept to the ex-journalist at my right. The book (from 2010) unfortunately contains only the images and captions, not the stories that we have all seen on Facebook, but I think she got what I meant. Soon after, the coffees arrived. Soy Latte. Flat White. Cappuccino. Our cappuccino drinker said the flavour was lovely but she wanted it "hotter". The flat white drinker remarked in earnest tones that it was wonderful. I just drank mine and smiled. Yes it was damn good. One of the best Soy Latte's I've had. No bitterness. A smooth, flavourful brew with some complexity to delight my tastebuds. Isn't "winning your loyalty" an interesting concept. When I stroll through Chatswood next I would find myself hard pressed to try another coffee place, and there are many... If I did try another coffee place, I'd feel like I was cheating on TSE. That's what winning your loyalty is all about.

I also get stuck making it for the rest of the family (especially D2) because they claim they cant make it like I do. Yeah right. Every weekend or so I head over to Siboni's to get a bag of their "Cordon Bleu" blend. I say "their" because the first thing you see when you walk in is a whopping great roaster with pipes going everywhere and a tray full of the most amazingly aromatic beans being spun round and cooled by a contraption that looks like it could make bodies disappear. Its now on its second owner but the Cordon Bleu is always the same and always great. I've tried beans from Joe Black (5 Senses) Corduroy (Little Marionette) Toby's, peaberrys, Jamaican Blue, Sumatran, Ethiopian, Indian Monsoon, single origin, beans that have been through an Indonesian cat and they are all really great. Its just that I think I've grown accustomed to Siboni's - "Sibs" as its known round these parts, and we have a history. The hours are from the 60's - closed on Sundays and at other odd times. The bloke can be a bit taciturn but the lady is so friendly and helpful. Many a time they've stayed open for 5 extra minutes for me when I forget to grab a bag and only remember just as they are about to shut up. They also have a great range of coffee machines and they make a brilliant coffee if you're up that way. They even have my little Saeco - tucked up the back behind all the glamorous show ponies, bet they won't still be going strong having made a cup of coffee every day for 17 years. ...alright... I haven't had beans that have popped out the ding of an Indonesian cat, but only because I haven't found the shop yet.

It's not the best café in the area (there are some really good ones close by) and I admit that I go down the street more often for my coffee. Located on the busy side street on St. Johns right near the Gordon train station, it gets a variety of customers from students to businessmen. Café Teria is an honest café that has good service and decent food and coffee. The free WiFi is the big sell.
