Gusto has gotten a great reputation among the bondi crowd because this place is always full of…read morepeople be it for a early morning coffee or a late treat. The coffee standards are high here with the store getting lots of recognition in various publications over the years. The store is quite cute and they have a enough seats inside for a decent crowd and also some Sears along the arcade too. It's on Spring street though so can be quite loud around here. Gusto is great for takeout though and you never have to wait very long. They got a great range of muffins , pastries, croissants and breads to go great with your coffee and also serve some light meals. Today I ordered peanut butter on Turkish bread. Really simple of course but very tasty none the less and perfect to keep you going until lunch. The coffee comes with a cute little bit of chocolate on top just to make your day.

Homemade bircher muesli, fruit salad and yoghurt are also available as a more healthy breakfast alternative. However, the atmosphere here is not one so much for relaxing and reading the papers, but is a more frantic grab-and-go coffee on the way to work. Their breakfast-bar layout offers a great place for quickly scoffing a muffin and slurping your coffee, but I think there are better places if you want to relax and enjoy watching the world go past.

There is a minimalist vibe to the decor: really cool lights, a big wooden communal table and some smaller tables, and hipster stools (a trend that looks good but really isn't very comfy - grab a seat on the bench if you like some back support!). The staff are friendly and efficient, and get to wear some pretty cool aprons. Campos coffee was superbly made with lovely latte art. The breakfast menu is small but cheap. Only $6 for a very large bowl of granola with berries, edible flowers and yoghurt. Really beautifully presented as well. Definitely worth a visit. If you're not from around Camden, the local area is worth a visit too!

Ok the staff are good. Lily and Pera are friendly. The coffee is very good. If you like a bacon and…read moreegg roll is probably the best, after that the food gets pretty limited. The things that could be improved are air conditioning. There is non and the kitchen can make things hot in the summer. The second Is WiFi. There is none and would help business people and students use the cafe. So even though I would like to give the girls a higher rating for effort. It's a 3 star cafe with great coffee and friendly service

Sorry, I am literally losing my religion here at this establishment. Points are to be awarded (and…read morewell deserved) for extremely fantastic coffee; yet the service and the cramped ambience is such a turn off. This is Balmain; cafes do get crowded so some space is allowed and much needed. The coffee is superb; yet I won't be coming back to this religion in a hurry as the service is just okay; nothing spectacular. Maybe if the staff go on some customer service training, and they open up the space a little more; then most definitely I will give this establishment more of a chance. There is an abundance of choice for coffee in Balmain and Rozelle (let alone in the city nearby) that great customer service and great coffee must go hand in hand. Life is short. Not coming back to this establishment in a hurry, and sadly as well. Maybe if they also got rid of the initial counter service (hey, the latter is also a bit of a turnoff at Rosebud too) and provided full table service; although I don't want to be a business consultant again: it would be a recommendation that should be taken seriously in enhancing the customer experience, and making it more positive in my eyes.

Okay, it is just across the road from Central Station, So that probably also had something to do with it, but with all of the offerings for coffee that there is in Surry Hills, they certainly needed to stand out, and stand out they did. Mind you, I would walk past this place quite regularly, and the two pickles on the security screen pretty much reminds you that this place is here when it happens to be closed. Not only that but it is open on weekends, and they make a wicked cup of tea. Oh, and before I forget, they give a discount if you bring your own cup.

Compared to the other coffee shops here in Surry Hills, I'd say that this is one of those small,…read moregrab-and-go places. It's more for those who just want something quick. A cup of coffee and a muffin or so. It's also a lot more fitting and convenient for those who are staying at the Rydges Sydney Central Hotel. It's literally right next store. As for the coffee drinks and treats, I'd say this place is pretty average. You're not going to find a heavy Sydney breakfast here. But when I'm on the go, this hits the spot and there's no long lines for me to wait.

Lunch! Perhaps this…read moreis not the best place for a Cuppa, despite the name, but I dig this pace for a quick takeaway lunch. My Cuppa has more lunch-food variety than its direct competitor - Pausa across the road, and it makes for a cheaper lunch than nearby Mecca, by a long shot. My Cuppa have a pick-your-own-filling sandwich counter, and have wraps, pastas, salads, things involving lentils, fruit salads, rice salady things, ... basically a lot of choice, which cures the same-old same-old lunchtime dilemma. Not the cosiest place to hang out - this is more for a quick stop.

Nice little gem of a coffee place located near the Bronte Rd bus stop at Bondi Junction. Probably…read morethe best coffee in the immediate vicinity of Bondi Junc. Upon walking in the place, you are greeted with a coffee roasting machine that is humming away doing its magic on some Sumatran beans (they roast their beans in-house daily). The staff are always super friendly and the place is my number one pick (pun intended) for a coffee while shopping at Westfield or when a caffeine hit is needed before boarding a bus to Bronte. The place itself is nicely decorated with comfy lounge style chairs if you feel like having a pastry or sandwich with your beverage (yep they'll satisfy mild hunger pangs too). To add to the atmosphere, the walls are adorned with coffee information and shots of the owner in action preparing syphon coffee and other various coffee related acts. Can also buy some coffee hardware here too (percolators, syphons and other coffee paraphernalia). Top spot this one..

Probably one of the worst coffee blends I've ever had. I have to stop ordering espressos in Sydney…read more I'm sure that as part of a mocha or a latte it would've been ok. Thankfully it was part of quite abundant yet lacklustre affogato, which for $5 in Bondi Junction was quite reasonable. The atmosphere is awesome despite being small and tucked up in a sidestreet that you wouldn't choose to walk down on unless you knew this place was there. The staff is friendly and the service fast. The takeaway here: Sydney doesn't cater to Italians and other espresso drinkers. This place is no exception but it's quite a nice and cheap alternative to the thousands of coffee shops that already exist.

I used to reliably get a great flat white from them in the morning and then over the course of a few years time, starting maybe in 2016 the service rapidly declined.

Sad face.

There is a lot of hype around Campos as a brand. There's a certain expectation that comes with all…read morehype, but I don't need to tell you how good their coffee was as every coffee drinker already know this. And in this place nothing seems more important than coffee. Upon entering, I was welcomed with huge airy space, high ceilings, polished concrete floors and exposed brick walls. It certainly has chic industrial-warehouse feel to it. You can choose some pastry from the selections at the counter, order their specials or choose something from their menu. Their breakfast menu is pretty basic. My favourite is the 'Build-your-own' Breakfast for obvious reason, you can choose what you put on your plate. I built mine from bacon, poached eggs, mushrooms, chèvre and tomato. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection. There's satisfaction in watching the yolk oozing out as I cut into it. Sautéed mushrooms were nicely seasoned. My kids were able to choose their favourite breakfast, some bacon with scrambled egg. It was good simple breakfast done well.
