Secondly, they put smashed avocado straight from the fridge onto my hot toast - there were enough people ordering it today for it to be made fresh - so not sure why they did that - needless to say it wasn't great. It's a shame as usually it's a great spot.

However the cosy atmosphere adds to the charm. Come here to escape the bustle that is Tower Square for a healthy lunch. Regular Salad $7.50 is good value considering the healthy choices like Coconut & Coriander Quinoa Salad which I had along with a mediocre but edible Thai 'Beef' Salad, comes with a bit and a half of crispy bread which is a nice touch but I wondered where the other half was? Overall 3 stars for a pleasant,healthy and fair valued lunch.

In the annex is one of many new 'hipster' cafés (jam jars instead of glassware is a dead giveaway) that have been opening recently everywhere. Whilst the interior is beautiful, for me this is a place that you will either love (my housemate swears by their coffee and breakfast burrito) or be indifferent towards. Unfortunately, I'm in the latter category. I should start by saying I'm a fairly simple soul - I look for good food that is reasonably priced when I eat out. While the Annex does do good food, their menu is very very limited (as they don't really have a kitchen to cook anything). Last time I went there were literally only one or two things I would consider ordering off it. Admittedly that was the Xmas menu, but I still remember it being like that before as well. Coupled with the limited options some of the food can be on the more expensive side (for what you get). If you like coffee I think you will probably love this place, if you're like me then you could be a bit indifferent to the whole thing and find yourself thinking about the $5 burgers next door...

It is unusual for me to feel the need to review a cafe on the first sitting, but today I feel that…read moredesire. Whether or not it was influenced by being my first stop for coffee this morning or just a damn fine experience, I am really happy that I ended up here. Started off with a batch brew made with Nicaraguan single origin from Sample Coffee Roasters. It was much darker than I would normally expect from Sample, but with this darkness came a really nice body and slight english breakfast finish. Unfortunately as the coffee was getting on a bit, many of the florals had flown, but what was left was still a very enjoyable start to the day. But then when the Umami long black came out, the aroma almost had me salivating. A robust and smooth body, it had a perfect balance highlighted with light florals and light winey back end to make it all worthwhile. Basically...yum. So if you are in the area and want a great coffee, this seems like a great option. Oh...and they do food.... :-) Coffee: Umami Passion: 8/10 Crema: 9/10

Busy in the mornings with the commuter crowd, before they hop on to their trains to town, and busy with the local mums. The lunch crowd is busy as well, which shows how much pleasant dining is appreciated in the burbs. Great coffee, with an efficient barista. Today's specialty being a Single Origin filtered Costa Rica La Violeta. The only drawback being a tendency to over flavour the sandwiches, usually appreciated, but always better when done in moderation. Think, the balsamic vinegar applications and the onion jams, both nice but need to be applied with a lighter touch. Otherwise, highly recommended.
