Pino Espresso

Very solid cup of coffee. Had my afternoon decaf cappuccino and it was very good. I don’t eat out very often but I look forward to trying their lunch menu soon. Looks intriguing. Clean place, friendly staff.

This place has a super cool vibe — in truth it actually looks out of place in the soulless and corporate (read: ugly) Danks and Bourke complex. The copper walls and unusual light pendants make this little corner café warm and inviting, and the lovely guys behind the counter always have a smile and a laugh on offer.
I don’t drink coffee personally (blasphemy) but all my coffee-​loving friends who I have taken here (who are all coffee snobs… typical Sydney) assure me that the coffee is excellent, a-​grade and very enjoyable. I just like sitting along the window with a cup of tea watching the passing parade on Bourke St.
PS — if you’re wondering why some of the crew looks familiar, they are the same operators as The Astor Café at the Valhalla Building in Glebe.
