What User doesn't like about Benchtop Espresso:

We asked the waitress whether the heater could be switched on, she checked with the owner who sent her back with a lame excuse... View all feedback. What User likes about Benchtop Espresso:
I visited for an early breakfast. This is a bustling little cafe with an extensive blackboard menu. I choose the Breakis Burger. What a surprise this was. The egg was cooked in the style of a Spanish Omelet and served with crispy bacon and green leaves. Excellent.The coffee was exceptional and several different coffee beans were available.The coffee was made by a skilled barista and served by a friendly helpful staff... View all feedback.

Hands down the best coffee in town. The breakfast burgers are to die for. You haven't lived until you've tried one. Lovely, friendly service.
