Welcome to Glider
Apparently this cafe has been around for 4 years and it's the first time I've actually noticed it while driving by. So glad I popped in. Friendly barista takes the time to make you feel welcome. Serving up Single 0 and doing it well. Cappuccino ($3.50) using Single O Killerbee is good as is the Latte ($3.50). There's only a few seats inside where you can watch the barista bringing is A-game on the coffee art and there's a few tables outside. It's a tiny cafe and has a cosy neighbourly vibe. Smashed avocado on my wishlist now.

Coffee fix ahoy
Spotted this cafe while driving by and thankfully checked it out. Barista doing a good job with Barrel One Coffee Roasters 'Honey Pot Blend'. Really enjoyed my Cappuccino ($3.50) and the Mrs very happy with her Piccolo ($3.50). I'd have to say this is my favourite spot for a decent coffee fix in the area at the moment. Babyccino ($1) is mostly froth and comes with a marshmallow to please Miss 2 year old. Ham & Cheese Croissant ($6.50) using Brasserie Bread has the right amount of flaky texture on the outside and soft and buttery on the inside. Croque Monsieur - double smoked ham, béchamel, mustard, gruyere ($10) was very yummy with plenty of cheese to please and buttered on the outside for extra crunch. Poached Eggs with sourdough ($10) comes with two perfectly gooey eggs and tasty sourdough. Service is friendly and there's a decent amount of seating for dine in. Handy location for the navy base which it seems to draw a regular crowd.

Triple pick coffee fix
I accidentally stumbled across this tiny cafe when I was checking out the new David Jones Food Hall as the entrance is right next door. They're using Triple Pick Coffee which is roasted in Bondi Juncton and achieving good results. Cappuccino ($3.50) was good with a decent flavour strength. This hidden gem is very popular with the local office workers that pass by to get to the lifts for their coffee and homemade soup of the day which rotates on a daily basis. Breakfast sandwich with off the bone ham, avocado, fried egg, aioli, mozzarella, tomato relish ($8.50) is a tasty breakfast to go that's reasonably priced. The barista and service is very friendly and polite and take their time to greet all their customers, both regulars and new. There's four large tables near the window as a dine in option but only takeaway cups and packaging are available. Handy location across the road from the Bondi Junction train station for a morning coffee run.
