Today we met Ernesto at Cafe 18' in the same complex with 18Footers Bar, Restaurant and Cafe.
Despite it being such a cold day, the business was pretty constant whilst we were there. I can only imagine what it must be like on a warm sunny day. Pretty fab is what I would think.
Pricing is consistent around all the places I've been to so far in the city centre and elsewhere in the Sydney metropolitan area.
The coffee is personally roasted by Ernesto, he created his own brand called Yandoo Blend. The blend caters to milk coffee and toast vegans.
We had flat white, hot chocolate, two latte - one being for you know who... All served extra hot - I know coffee shouldn't be served extra hot but it was soooo cold! Extra hot does seem to be an expected Australian standard...
In addition 3 large oat cookies were consumed and eventually I enjoyed an Apple and Almond cake. Mmmmmm so moist and more ish.
I was a group of four today and we had great interaction with the new customers, regulars and the owner.
This place although it doesn't have any indoor seating, the location is so magnificent and there is plenty of seating around for you to sit back admire the view on the plentiful number of park benches. Covered and uncovered. I believe there is a Sydney ferries stop close by.
The address is 80 Bay street Double Bay, that's Double Bay 2028 NSW. THE area is well worth a visit if you're in the area and is a must visit if you're a visitor from overseas.
