Outpost Espresso — Restaurant in Sydney

Sunday 30th of July was forecast to be 26 degrees celsius, Sydney warmest recorded July day on record. We decided to use this as excuse to visit the Collaroy on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. We popped into Outpost Espresso, a short walk from the beach. Perfect for a coffee or a bite to eat, pre or post beach visit. This cosy cafe is popular with locals and visitors alike. Serving the ever popular Campos Coffee with Single origin varieties from Guatamala and Columbia.

The staff are very friendly, on first name basis with many visitors and chatting to the customers as they wait for their take away coffees.

The menu caters to people wanting to dine in or those in a rush after a quick bite on the run. There are a range of cookies, cakes and sandwiches. There are all day breakfast options including chia, pudding and granola. We ordered ricotta on toast. Served on sour dough from brasserie bread with cinnamon and honey on top, simple and tasty.

The also do a range of healthy bowl options. We ordered the tuna bowl. The flavour was nice, the bowl made with a mix of quinoa, almonds, sunflower seeds carrot kale and tuna all mixed together with two eggs on top.

Great little cafe for a good coffee, friendly service and a...

Coffee: Campos Passion: 6/10 Crema: 7/10

I feel bad rating this cafe as low as this but it is the beans more so than the people or atmosphere. I was impressed that this cafe had single origin beans available (even if they are Campos) and so gave them a bonus mark in passion.

As for the Guatemalan COE.. well... it was a bit stale and lifeless, though still better than the average Campos coffee. At the very least the barista did what he could with it.

So while I would not travel to try this cafe, its location is very convenient, especially for the weekend crowds coming to the beach or park. If you are in the neighbourhood, this is going to be your best chance at getting drinkable coffee.

N.B. There is #powerwhoring available at the table in the corner near the fridge. There is no public...

Used to love coming here to get the avocado on toast. They have recently changed the menu so now unable to get all the older stuff. I asked the lady if I could get what they usually had and she said no. I wish they had 2 versions of the avocado on toast or able to get something similar. I asked for no sunflower seeds on the avocado toast however saw the lady start to put some on. The other lady told her that we didn’t want the seeds and I watched her take the fennel off with her bare hands ( no gloves ). Then quickly rinsed her hands under the water and continued to...
