I think thats awesome you've found your spot! <br />Mine used to be Fernside in Redfern until i loved and it became bRU in North Bondi... both places know me by name and make an effort to remember my order and have a chat to me every morning. Its the first interaction of the day and it sets to tone! I'm stoked we have such amazing places that off great service like this throughout Sydney city!Hazal Alkachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07420319379132351629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757465032690850464.post-33869074764300261402012-10-01T18:39:52.999-07:002012-10-01T18:39:52.999-07:00When I started working in Neutral Bay I tried out ...When I started working in Neutral Bay I tried out a couple of coffee places but was never very loyal to any of them. I decided which one I'd go to on the bus every morning and ended up changing between 2. <br />Then a little hole in the wall called Essence opened and I made friends with the barista and the two kitchen staff. We buy each other birthday and christmas presents and everything! Even though the staff have changed since they first opened, they're always lovely (and it's some of the only human interaction I get in my day).<br />It's $3.70 for a large and $3.20 for a small coffee (standard pricing for Neutral Bay but this place makes coffee that is worth that price) and their bacon and egg rolls are to die for! They've been there for a year and a bit now and it's been great watching them grow. Nicest guys. They really have set the standard for coffee for me and now when I get charged $4 for a coffee that tastes like shit, I always thank my lucky stars that Essence is so close to my office.
