Black List
Great location, great potential for return customers, and great name!
Unfortunately not so much praise can be given to the cafe itself.
Strike One is due to the ridiculously long waiting time!
I came to this cafe a while ago with a friend, and waited about 10 minutes to order (there was no queue), waited another 10 minutes for the coffee and the order was wrong. Fair enough - this sort of stuff happens, goes down better with an apology.. we had some worried friends wondering what had happened!
The coffee was alright. Is is slightly higher than middle of the range. I cannot remember the type of coffee used, but the way it was brewed didn't do it much justice.
Strike Two is due to the ridiculously long waiting time and below average coffee.
We are in Kirribilli once again. All the local cafes are full and a place opened out the front of Freckle Face. Everyone deserves a second chance!
We waited about 15 minutes this time to order and almost as long for the cappuccino, even longer for my flat white... It's a bit of a giveaway when the only notable difference between a cappuccino and a flat white is the chocolate.
But Wait - where's the muffin?!
Coffee's consumed - muffins orbiting in the window. The waitress informed us while clearing our table the muffin is on the way... Given Freckle Face's time is different to man kind we couldn't take the chance - we left.
Tut Tut Freckle Face!!
There is such potential there for a fantastic coffee shop.
I say hire more staff! And provide adequate training.
If I am waiting for a train and have a spare hour - perhaps a third chance would make up for these poor attempts?

I recommend heading to Pizzeria Rio. *Make sure the owner (male) makes the coffee. He has a talent! The waiting staff are great at waiting.. not so good with coffee.
