5 Best coffee in Kogarah! I was stuck in hospital for an extended period and my wife found this excellent coffee to lift my spirits. She also told me about the cheerful staff and the kindness that she experienced there, during a tough time for us. Really appreciate this.
5 Great coffee, fantastic service, and plenty of options for those with allergies or intolerances.
5 In a world where all iced lattes are half a litre, 2 shots and $8, here is a barista that didn't bat an eye when I asked for a single shot iced latte in a regular takeaway cup, AND charged me accordingly. AND THEN he remembers my order the next time I come in. This sounds like it shouldn't be a big deal, but when every other cafe I go to looks at me as though I'm ordering in Russian for what is a pretty straightforward request, this place stands out. Absolute legend. 11/10.
5 Friendly service, we ordered lunch and had the lentil and kale burger and schnitzel burger, very tasty! Almond latte and green tea were also lovely.
5 The service & food is amazing. I’m really liking the new kimchi fried eggs on the menu, and coffee is always great. Thank you! Ps the second pic is the new Zatar and egg
5 There are people who think they can make a good cup of coffee and there are those who know how to make a good cup of coffee. Dan is the young bloke with the tasteful tattoos who runs a quality café in downtown Kogarah an is responsible for making the perfect brew. With the flick of the wrist he skilfully flings one of the cups from the stack and goes about making the best caffeine hit you’re likely to enjoy all day. It helps when the blend is White Horse. But beyond the perfect caffeine injection is the array of tempting breakfast choices on offer. I can’t resist passing up the house omelette. It’s filled with the freshest ingredients of mushrooms, capsicum, onion and draped in the tastiest of melted cheese. It’s by far the best omelette in the area, and I’ve had a few. The eggs Benedict was given the seal of approval by Mrs T. The servings are generous. The flavours are mouth watering. The presentation outstanding. We are regulars at Kay Geez. Don’t go past this little treasure when next in Kogarah.
5 Easily the best coffee in Kogarah, Dan and the gang are always so warm and welcoming, remember your name and order, I only wish I could see them on the weekend too..
