Tropicana @ Kings Cross

Consistently Above Average!

Tropicana is a great open and friendly establishment. Tropicana attracts all sorts of interesting, bizarre and famous people, it has a great location, great food, great coffee, efficient service and is responsive to the world around it.

The coffee is reliably above average. It's not the best cup in town, but you are never left disappointed.

Open till late, it is always a great option if you are up for a chat with friends or a quiet takeaway.

Reasonably priced coffee and food.

The Bunker @ Darlinghurst

Wonderful!

This is a great cosy cafe close to everything. Just off the corner of Victoria St, The Bunker is between Talyor Square and the drag of Kings Cross.

Campos Coffee is served here, maintaining it's well deserved reputation. Friendly staff, quick service - it's great to pop in and grab a takeaway, or even to have a quick bite. I recommend trying the Banana Bread with 'Ian's Mum's Lemon Butter'.

No Loyalty cards here, which is a shame as it's a great takeaway coffee spot.

Reasonable prices coffees. The food is a little on the overpriced side, although given the location and local competition it's about average.

Overall, consistently great coffee.

Coco Cubano @ Kings Cross

Black Listed

Hmmmm
......

Promising!! An exciting new cafe on the strip. "Viva the Revolution" "Be the change you want to see in the world". Che Guevara enthusiasts are encouraged to come and sip in the warehouse style revolutionary cafe.

Getting caught up in the metaphorical Bling of the revolution may be an excuse for not noticing the pricey coffee you have purchased is very below average and the cup has residue from several coffee's prior.

Granted they have a loyalty card with a personal inspiring message from your favourite revolutionary - if you do not follow their computers strict policy of presenting before paying you forfeit your reward points. Way to fight the machine.

Disappointing. How is one to overcome the oppressive forces that be with a below average coffee?

I have given Coco Cubano three strikes... failing each time.

I say skip on past this Gloria Guevara Cafe and head to Bella Vita. They know how to brew a good coffee. And for $3.00 a regular, also with a user friendly loyalty card (9 = 1 free), Bella Vita is definitely worth the 20 metre walk.
