Caffe Di Gabrielle. Shop 13, 425 Bourke St, Surry Hills. Lots of natural light from the giant glass walls: outdoor seating is on stools, with plenty of space heaters if you need them. A mixed crowd of well-to-do inner city dwellers sample coffees and pastries (the chocolate brownies seem especially popular). The pastries, which look really impressive, appear to be made on site.
Decaf is ground to order. Sweet, slightly earthy decaf latte. If you’re in the neighbourhood, drop in.
it’s been a bit of a hit and miss place for me. i didn’t enjoy their salads last time i visited and the service was a bit absent but i hear they have nice cakes/muffins. pigeon cafe across the courtyard make nice coffee and i found the service much friendlier and attentive 🙂
Simon,
Thanks for the comment. I didn’t notice Pigeon – will have to check it the next time I’m in that part of Surry Hills!
