Cavalier Specialty Coffee (Cavalier 1.0) — Restaurant in Sydney

This shop is a hidden gem!!! It is a place serving fine dining quality food and drinks in takeaway style. It offers specialty coffees from different roasters and rotates its batches, cold brew and single origin coffee very often. It is such a blessing for people like me who like to try different coffee processes, origins and cultivars.

The espresso machine they use is Synesso, incredibly versatile and manual for dialing espressos. It is very impressive that every single dose is weighted and different single origins use different brewing programs. The barista is so dedicated to serve good coffee like nowhere else.

Food is incredible here!!!!!!! Despite the look of the pastries and savory offers is usual, the quality is exceptional! The pastries and bread are picked up from Maggio’s in Cammeray daily in the morning. Another blessing for me that it saves my trip to Maggio’s or UberEats fee. The chef makes the sauces and slices free range ham and imported cheeses in house. I think that is one of the reasons why their ham and cheese croissant and cheeky jaffle are ridiculously delicious. The chef used to work in fine dining restaurants, so he has very high standard for quality control. I once saw they vacuum sealing the cheese after slicing. With the quality of food and drinks it offers, the cost and price ratio is so so so much higher than most cafes. It’s no doubt a bargain having food and drinks here.

There is one little problem with their drink offers: NO syrups. But I understand, as a barista myself, when the coffee is so good, syrups are a bit redundant. Although the Cheeky Jaffle and Gucci Toasties are too good to miss out, the waiting time for these two are about 10 mins, so I don’t get them when in a rush but grabbing gourmet sandwiches, another sensational offer they...

I recently visited Cavalier and I have to say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As soon as I walked in, the coffee was being brewed and the selection of specialty options was impressive.

While the cafe may appear small, it only added to the charm and intimate atmosphere. The batch coffee I ordered was sensational, and it was clear that the baristas put in great care and attention to the brewing process, resulting in a rich and complex flavor that left me thoroughly satisfied.

The pastries were equally exceptional and complemented my coffee perfectly. The warm, flaky texture of the pastry combined with the perfectly brewed coffee was a match made in heaven.

What really stood out to me was the quality of the service. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about their products. They were more than happy to offer recommendations and answer any questions I had.

Overall, Cavalier is a must-visit for coffee and pastry enthusiasts. The quality of the products and the service is truly outstanding, and I would definitely make this my go-to cafe if I lived locally. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it...

I was eagerly looking forward to trying out this coffee place in Crows Nest that had been advertised as offering exceptional coffee. As an avid coffee lover constantly on the lookout for the best brew in Sydney, I decided to not order my usual skim cappuccino, but this time I opted for a regular full cream milk cappuccino to assess the coffee’s quality. Unfortunately, the flavor turned out to be too strong for my liking and had a slightly burnt taste. While it wasn’t my favorite cup of coffee, I must admit that if you enjoy a robust coffee flavor, this place might be a good fit for you. Despite my experience, I’ll continue my quest for the perfect coffee in Sydney, knowing that there are numerous wonderful coffee spots waiting to be discovered. They also offer wide range of pastries and croissants for not a lot of seating area available. Follow ms.QUASON for more...
