Gypsy Espresso
Gypsy Espresso are really famous for their coffees. We came here as recommended by a friend and had their ice coffee and it was delicious! It was creamy and nice and strong. The place is very busy and popular so be sure to come early. I found the service to be quite friendly and would recommend it for anyone in the area.
Gypsy espresso is a small cafe off the main strip in Kings Cross / Potts point. There are about 5 tables inside and a few out the front. They are known for their coffee and the staff have a great knowledge and advice of the coffee. Only too happy to provide me with a weak skim cap. I got it in a takeaway cup as I have a bit of an obsession with artwork cups! It is also a good coffee; gypsy roasters beans. I ordered the ancient grain, sweet corn, tomato, spinach and goats cheese, pumpkin seeds and yogurt dressing salad for my lunch. Absolutely delicious with a really nice dressing, and very healthy. Service was lovely; the barista notably very skilled and a good atmosphere in the cafe - particularly good lady working the till, seemed to know customers well.
Horrible service. A large coffee is $4.50(!!) and when I made the mistake of looking surprised at this, the waitress berated me and effectively said that if I was too poor to pay $4.50 I shouldn't be there! She THEN implied that I was angling for a free coffee! I wanted to complain to the manager about her but - she IS the manager. Instead I'll just never go back. Clever management choice seeing as I live in the same building as the coffee shop!
Had a very similar experience. The blonde woman behind the counter is totally out of control ! Certainly not the friendly service you expect in a Sydney cafe.
