Coffee Box

Desperate for a good coffee, I am relieved to find that this place does them very well. It isn't too busy at the time (middle of the afternoon), so the service is quick, and the smile and friendliness of the cute wee blond rivals the coffee. I am heading out for a fancy dinner later tonight, so didn't want a full lunch. I opt for a piece of toasted banana bread, which has walnuts and dates in it too, I think. Anyway, with a generous serve of butter melting over it, it's truly glorious, and I'm really starting to enjoy this stop. It's a little windy, and overcast, with some showers threatening, so the seat I snag on the corner out of the wind is where I stay to pass away an hour before I'm required elsewhere. Great coffee, wonderful service, and a fine selection of cabinet and made to order food - what more do you want!

Coffeebox espresso is in an extremely good location as you enter the Darling Harbour shopping centre, but also perfect for those passers by heading into the city for work. It is a small store but not your average coffee shop, selling a good variety of types of coffee including a bottled cold brew, iced drinks and they use Toby's estate which is a massive drawcard for us. We had a top notch cold brew in a little. little that was perfect to pour over ice as you like. I also got a chai latte which enjoyed thoroughly and it had some latte art which I am a fan of. Visiting on Australia day, there were themed muffins and cakes with flags in them and they also offered a sausage sizzle. We tried the lime and coconut muffin which had a lovey flavour through it and tasted extremely fresh. We hear everything is baked fresh in store, and they have a good range of goods perfect for those on the go, muffins, slices, croissants, brekkie wraps, bacon and egg roll (including truffle scrambled eggs which sounded divine). Hubby got the new addition to the menu, a wagyu beef burger, extremely moist meat, on a fresh bun with salad and cheese. A great burger! I preferred a healthy choice so I got the muesli with yoghurt, blueberries, and strawberries, comes in a takeaway box so perfect if you want brekkie on the run. The owner and manager Fabrizio was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and certainly made this a pleasant experience all round.
