As with most cafes I go to now I often start by finding out if they have any single origin coffee on hand. In this case the barista instantly told me that the Kenyan Tegu AA was what they had going. Another good sign. The coffee was well espressed and had a thick crema covering the tarty fruitiness of the Tegu. It was warm and had a clean finish, perfect as an espresso.
Loved having a chat with the staff here, who are obviously mad about coffee, and are now fighting a battle of hearts and minds with the North Sydney crowd of people addicted to strong burnt rubber coffee. That they have switched to Mecca is the first step, and apparently batch coffee and cold drip coffee might not be far away.
