Lots of care put into my short macchiato. Excellent separation of espresso and milk. Good strong taste. These guys always have great baguettes, but I was a little sad to discover half of their menu was not available on the weekend.

Nice to find a place in a beachside town with a true café feel. I was happier still to ind that the coffee lived up to the ambience. My double macchiato had a good strong flavour and excellent milk/coffee separation. To top it all off, Ruby’s has a menu…

Superlative coffee from this tiny hole in the wall. If I were having any kind of meal in this area, I’d make sure to come here for coffee before or after. Sadly, they seem to be open weekdays only.

A gussied-up government office café, but the service was friendly and the espresso (Kaldi beans) quite drinkable. Worth checking out for some variety if you spend a bit of time in the City West area.

“We love coffee too!” is the declaration that dominates the chalkboard menu at this small outdoor chinese café. I’m pleased to report that you can actually believe them. They serve remarkably decent espresso at low prices ($2.50) and with friendly service.

Some impressive beach photography adorns the walls and delicious pizza your plate, but don’t come here for the coffee. My macchiato was burnt, and the wife’s chai latté was nary more than a glass of warmed milk.
