La Casa del Caffe coffee. 11a The Esplanade,Balmoral Beach. Concrete floor, furnishings that suit its beach-side location. Friendly staff, once they take your order, which can be a while. Customers are mostly locals grabbing breakfast and some sun before work starts for the day.
Coffee is pre-ground, sitting in the hopper for at least five minutes depending on how busy the place is. Good temperature, a bit thin, but tastes good enough – better than I’d feared.
