Trafalgar St Espresso

Love my morning quiche at this place. They do great coffee as well. Cosy space to do some out of office work with a laptop or to just chill out.Walk through to the section out the back, it's got comfy lounges and walls full of books, and an entire encyclopaedia Britannica! Interesting place.

Huddled amongst residental homes, lies this quaint café, sitting on the corner of Trafalgar and Albion. A pale blue building with a rustic exterior, when you walk into the cafe, it has the same vibe. Because it's operated by some hipsters! It's people like them that can get away with a tree green couch, that you immediately spot when you first walk into the café. You also notice how worn out part of this seating is, to the point the leather has split. Perhaps that's the look they are going for, and you know what? It works in this small place. The café has like a hidden back seating area behind the book shelf, which was pretty cool. It's open when you walk in, and out the back are more seatings, and comfy armchairs for you to laze about whilst drinking your coffee or got beverage. The food on offer here is limited in choice. Three specials, one being sold out and the other two didn't take my fancy. So seeing that it was brunch, I decided to head for the pastries. I ordered a vegetable pie bit some how ended up with a lamb pie, but that's ok, I can live with that. They drizzled olive oil and some sea salt on the plate to compliment the pure which worked or really well. The meat was moist and the pastry fluffy and flaky. Also ordered their chai tea which was also quite good. Didn't get to try their coffee that people were racing about. Maybe next time I come back here, it might be more of a take away run. While we were sitting there, quite a few people came and ordered their thing for on the run. This is a place you come to of you're after something light or want to just chill out and have a coffee with friends, but a great café to know about any how.

Had to try a coffee place at the Aroma Festival and stumbled upon the Little Marionette. Although I am close by I have never actually visited their physical store so why not try them at the festival!<br/ <br/ Joining the long queue, service was lovely and efficient and got through the throngs of coffee lovers quite quickly.<br/ <br/ I tried their Mocha and it was lovely. Nice and smooth it went down well. I wish it was a bit warmer though. I got a regular at $4 which wasn't that large (they sold out of small ones at $3 so very interested to know how small they were).<br/ <br/ edited 07FEB20 <br/ <br/ Having visited a few times to the cafe in Annandale, this certainly punches out wonderful dishes for breakfast/brunch. I always enjoy the sourdough crumpets here. The coffee by Little Marionette is a smooth and easily drinkable blend. The service is very personable and always enjoy coming back here.

Perfect spot away from all the chaos serving up stellar breakfast dishes and perfectly brewed coffee. Each time I cannot go past the creamy mushrooms on sourdough crumpets with eggs and pecorino. This is just spot on and deceivingly filling. Perfect local hideout.

Best bessssst coffee in Annandale it only looses one point because its always busy while the interior looks funky cool, its not the most comfortable practical interiors for seating.
