Get coffee on a regular base there as some of my colleagues appreciate their«every-so-often-free-coffee“scheme. Coffee is not that great, often bitter, slightly burned. But to be fair, their beagles are sometimes a lifesaver and very unusual, good that is. Their décor is also quite unusual, funny and quirky, but then again, this area is the rectum of Newtown. If you are not the baristas personal friend, you will receive a rather unfriendly service, which can be a good thing, so you don’t have to listen to his boring stories. In summary, in an apocalypse like situation, when everything else have burned down, you could give it a go.

I much prefer the coffee here to Double Roasters around the corner! Their coffee is much stronger, almost bitter, I would say? Me no likey. Very cute, shabby chic interior with lots of lovely desserts on display. And the stools are made out of vintage scales… cute idea, but mine was stabbing my bum with some pointy bit. Also, not sure I want to be in a room full of scales if I ever decide to indulge in the lovely desserts on offer. Hehe.

Coffee is much better than double roasters. Usually grab something to eat from double roasters(they have more gluten free options) and a sit down menu, then head over to coffee tea and me to get my coffee. Service is always really lovely too.

We noticed this when we were approaching Double Roasters(around the corner) and decided to get coffee and a couple of bagels from here instead. The bagels are flat — I mean really flat. They hang them up on the walls to dry which is pretty cool and lends itself to photos. They are filled with some ham and cheese and other fillings — not your typical cream cheese and gravlax from the US offerings. The coffee was a bit burnt, hence my 3 star rating, but we would head back if Double Roasters wasn’t open. Oh, their mango cake is awesome by the way — its like madeira cake with tonnes of mango through it.
