Happy Hour Coffee

The last time I visited this cafe was back in March 2012 when @tonyhollingsworth recommended the coffee happy hour between 2 and 3 pm. Back then it was just $2 and now it's $2.30 so not a big increase in over 4 years. Cappuccino ($2.30 happy hour price 2-3pm) using Allpress Espresso coffee has a good amount of froth and enjoyable strength of flavour. The barista has done a good job. This is for takeaway only but there's limited seating inside if you're paying the normal $3.30 price tag which is still reasonable.

Uno Espresso: $2 Happy Hour Coffee, CBD Sydney (30 Mar 2012)

60 Park Street, Sydney NSW 2000

Caffeine hit for a bargain price

Thanks to Tony Hollingsworth for the Happy Hour tip at Uno Espresso between 2-3 pm. I'm actually not a huge coffee drinker but I'm always up for a bargain. My cappuccino ($2 small) was pretty good which I ordered without sugar to put it to the test. Hardly any bitterness although could have been a bit more milky and creamier for my liking as it was slightly watery but still very acceptable. The Barista was friendly and efficient and their menu is quite basic but seems reasonably priced for a quick bite or drink. There's not much seating inside but probably fine for a quick bite and sit down for your coffee. The only other place I can think of with a $2 coffee is Espresso on York which is the same price all day. They're probably close enough to do a taste test one day to compare them both.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:

PROS: Very cheap, Pretty decent coffee, Efficient service

CONS: Only available 2-3 pm, Limited seating and menu choices

MUST TRY: Their hot chocolate and mocha next time
