Taste forms part of the coffee triangle at Sydney University. The other two being Azzuri's and Ralph's. It sets a standard for the morning coffee and if you're not careful with timing (when lectures finish) you'll experience the hustle of the campus descending on it. Amongst it all I appreciate the staff remembering our names and orders.
The bacon and egg roll or the soft scrambled eggs on toast are great starters for the morning. Pastries are slightly expensive but well worth it. I do prefer the pastries over their renowned baguettes.
At times we visit the restaurant side. Great for catching up with mates, but also easily done outside on the benches. More expensive than the coffee and pastry bar; but you're removed from the bustling crowds.

Why in the world you would INSIST on putting such a vile and divisive substance on everything coming out of the kitchen is beyond me. The worst thing about the place is the absolute car crash at the pickup counter. I've stood there for 20 minutes waiting for a latte and watched them get literally every order wrong and snarl at every person asking to have it corrected. I'm sobbing right now, just...
