What people say
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
Long time lover of Whah Whah coffee (and the lovely team who are always so friendly!) now they have stepped up to offer a gorgeous selection of fresh sandwiches! Just what Neutral Bay and the broader Sydney community needs! Flavours are bold, fresh and really well balanced and the servings are perfectly sized for lunch. If you’re a lover of a good sami, absolutely make the trip to Whah Whah!
