Toby's Estate
We source, roast and blend our coffee with passion, we select our teas with love...Master roaster Toby Smith established Toby's Estate Coffee in 1998 and since that time has developed a team that has a passion for coffee, tea and chocolate. We love to share this passion in education, Barista training and tastings to our customers, and the public in general.
My take away coffee was good and provided a much-needed caffeine hit. I was hungry too, so I got a ham and cheese croissant, the price was not marked on it in the cabinet, and I was surprised when told what my grand total was...the croissant was pleasant enough, but at just under $8 I thought that was somewhat over-priced. I know that they need to add a margin, but as my local French patisserie sells a bigger one at around the $5 mark, I do think this was too much. Nice interior and nice staff that served me...though I didn't eat in, I was parked right outside on City Rd.
It's a decent enough cafe, perhaps we visited on a bad day because the food although fine just wasn't quite up to scratch, and our reasonably simple coffee order was taken incorrectly twice (once is human, twice just seems lazy). Willing to give it another go because there are some interesting things on the menu.
More than just a cafe. These guys have a variety of beans which they will grind to your requirements, they have fab chocolate, teas, barista accessories & courses. Their cafe fare is limited, but well chosen, and the coffee is exceptional- no bitterness, burnt milk or weak imitations here (though as a previous reviewer mentioned it is variable- this depends on the barista I think). Coffee itself is complimentary when you purchase coffee beans.
