Regiment specialty coffee — Restaurant in Sydney

Chicken bagel was a great balance of flavours and textures, and perfectly toasted. Cold brew was excellent and a very generous serve. Obviously one goes to a cafe for food - and theirs was superb. But the ordering system gave me pause. The QR code for menu and payment worked well, but what I cannot for the life of me accept is why the required information included my full name, email address and phone number. These are not necessary pieces of information for anyone to have in a transaction for me to eat breakfast. This sort of unnecessary data collection may seem harmless but you have to wonder - what is done with this data? Who collects it? Why? How do they use it?

After posting this review, I am going to head to the wilderness to reevaluate my life and take a really hard look at the foolish...

The coffee is superb, with a slightly lighter roast that makes it smoother than your average Sydney blend and just the right amount of milk in the flat whites to make sure it doesn't overpower the coffee's flavour. The food that you would find here is worth a shot as well, particularly the pulled pork sourdough and the lobster roll (more of an oversized lobster canapé to be honest). Expect a 10 mins wait for your food and coffee during the morning and lunch hours though as this gem has clearly been discovered by many of the caffeine hungry...
