Essence Coffee is a cafe in Neutral Bay where dog access has not yet been confirmed — it's worth checking before you visit.
It may be quiet when I went (10:30 on a friday) But the staff were very talkative and friendly. But the best part. The coffee was spectacular. That and they have street parking out front during the week for tradesman. (Its just on street) I would reccomend this to any trades passing through in the morning. They brewed fast but tasty. I reccomend.
Cannot be more disappointed!! Unwelcoming female staff on first approach, just beaver we look Asian? She even charged us 4 coffee when we only got 3. Didn’t realized until we checked the receipt. To be fair they did refunded after calling and texting, but this shouldn’t even happen in the first place. Coming from Melbourne, the coffee is only average. Not worth the hype
Super cute cafe. Came here with my friend for brunch and everything was absolutely amazing! Definitely recommend ❤️
So friendly and welcoming. There's a nice vibe here in this almost hole in the wall cafe. It's buzzy inside with a few tables and there's a compact outdoor space with lounge, benches, stools and a table. The coffee is perfect, lots of flavour and strong (it's the house blend too). And the sourdough toasties, first class. Nice one Essence cafe
Can I have some filling with my bread orrr…? Nothing big about the ‘Big Zucc’ sandwich which was a small, tasteless, unseasoned, overpriced side salad on a dry, Woolworths-sized ciabatta roll. A far cry from the photos on their social media or Google listing. Hardly worth $7.50, let alone the $15 they charged.
We check council regulations, official sources, and community reviews to verify dog access at every venue. Access may change — always check on-site signage. Something wrong or missing? Submit feedback. How it works.
