Not sure what it is about Strathfield, but this was the 2nd cafe I have visited that decided giving…read morepeople plastic water cups was the best idea. Um.... it is not. It just cheapens the experience (which is very unfortunate...). I don't have a lot to say about this cafe, as there is likely not that much to it. They have a focus on coffee, and do a fairly decent job of giving you what you want. Obviously mine was spoilt by the addition of too much milk (as per usual), and so I didn't experience anything fantastic. Also the atmosphere of their seated area seems pretty haphazard, and thrown together. I did not get the feeling that they had put all that much effort into it. Still... if you want a decent coffee, they shoud be able to sort you out.

North Sydney seems to hold a fair amount of cafes and bars, all of which serves delicious food but only just discovered for myself The Northside Bunker. A burger craving on a raining Monday lunch and this place certainly delivered on such a day. A chalked pillar menu was a easy decision on said burger choices. With plenty of cosy looking tables, we were lead to a table as its service there but without wait, a choice of spicy burgers were had with a side of sweet potato fries but... coffee first. Roasted beans from The Grounds are perfect. cappuccinos and lattes all around were unforgettable with a decision there to have coffees on the way out once were done. With the burgers arriving at a pace of 10min wait wasn't well fair to what I saw. What looked like standard burgers and fries was completely turned around upon first bite. It has been a while since I've taste a meat patty soft and hand made before an order. You don't get any better other than at home cooking if not the same. The spicy beef burger was fantastic, confirming the "good choice" comment when ordered. The Portuguese chicken was quite good and plentiful too. The sweet potatoes were done to perfection and brought out after the burgers which was well thought. Compliments to the chef were had and the owner ideas. He did mention that the patties were a new addition style to the menu. MUST BE KEPT! Business lunch or something out of the city feed, Mark My Words. A good place.

Overall its a good vibe place in North Sydney.

The Chatswood store however is a brewing a nice cup, mellow in taste (I'm talking coffee here, not sparkling water). The Vegemite on turkish toast are a good treat with your coffee. They'll even give you a fancy plate, but I'd rather pay 50¢ less for presentation. Like most Three Beans franchises they're a bit on the more expensive side and so allow for only the occasional visit, although I believe they have some regular customers. Staff is always friendly and their store is quite cosy, especially for Chatswood.

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.

So this place was suggested by Andrew O, he called this place the 'real deal', and he is right. So…read morerecently in Sydney there has been many cafes opening up that focus solely on the coffee - and Central Roasters is one of these places. Down Central St, in between Pitt and George, is this small cafe. They serve Black Gold coffee beans, and they know how to brew a good cup of coffee. Honestly, they are not as good as Alpha or Blue Bird, but still a very good cup of coffee. As I stated, this place is about the coffee, and so the food is limited. So if you want a cafe that focuses on the food, this place is not for you. If you want a place that focuses on the coffee then come right along.

The coffee is very good and I really like the space. If I was ever arrested and put in the Central lock up, and then I escaped, then this would be the first place I saw as I was running down Central Lane!!! It doesnt look like they do a whole lot of food, there are a few pastries but it seems to me the entire focus is on coffee. There are a couple of filter machines, single origin on a blackboard, and all the magazines are coffee mags. The sugar is that funky stuff that you also find at Paramount. A take away (I know) is only $3. A proper cap and a seat costs another 50c. I need to know there is a good cafe close by and now I have one.

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.
