Nestled in the back streets of Woy Woy’s business district is a hidden gem.
If you squint you can almost imagine that you are at a modern, city esque, coffee shop somewhere on Enmore Road (all be it, without the constant drone of the traffic and aeroplanes landing soundscape).
Complete with the bespoke artwork of Sindy Sinn adorning the wall, one can enjoy a more than decent coffee at an indecent hour in the morning. It takes dedication to open year round at 6 am fronting the public with welcoming and friendly banter. The coffee here, proves to be the elixir required to kick start your day.
The long shared table fosters a community vibe and the venue can be hired for after hours, evening events, birthdays, book launches and the like.

Now I usually swing by for an early coffee while strolling with the dog in the morning, and yes have become a fan of the CNR, but you do not have to take my word for it, but they do appear to have a loyal customer base in the form of emergency services personnel, now if you can’t trust an AMBO who...
Read moreI pre-order my coffee on the way to Sydney. Their coffee gives me the will to get through my work day. It's super easy when you can use an app. Saves me time on the way to work.
Even if I am driving towards Woy Woy or surrounds, headed to Gosford, or what have you, and I have to go a bit out of my way I will stop there because it makes my life easier and is v. quick. There is plenty of parking, too.
If you like toasties, you are in luck. They even have a vegan option, which I appreciate! Thanks for catering to us.
It is across the road from a park which is great for local families. And everyone is so very welcoming and cheerful even in the morning! Thanks x...
Read moreVisited for the first time today and ordered a coffee. I didn't order a toastie for the sole reason I wasn't hungry but a scan of the menu while I waited threw up great options for both budget and fancy. Impressive! As for the coffee, it was excellent and certainly won't be my last. The service was friendly and fast as well.

Since posting this review I've had a couple of toasties. They...
