thought I'd add my 0.02 cents worth for a view on some of the places I've been to.... Coffee Craft: Great place to buy beans and/or a large selection of machines & coffee equipment. You can also have a coffee to drink there or take away, and a selection of cakes etc. Basil is a very helpful guy. I think their focus is more on the beans and equipment, with a secondary focus on the cafe side to the business. They also do repairs / maintenance. Coffee Barun: Great food and good coffee. A much larger operation now with their move down the street to larger premises. They can often have a larger selection of roasted beans on offer. In the old place there was a small selection of equipment available for sale. (not sure what equip is available now in the new shop). Their cupping sessions are great fun, and I've also had the opportunity to try a siphon or two there as well. Their burgers are fantastic. Bar 9: Very impressed with their SO's, and the quality of what's served up. Small funky looking rustic interior. The organic food on offer is excellent. A comfortable place to sit and eat / drink / relax for a while. A couple of old levers sitting in the corner too but not being used last time I was there. Cafe Primo (Tea Tree Plaza): typical franchise looking place you would find in a shopping centre. Large, reasonable to good food, average coffee. These guys need to clean their toilets - been here several times months apart and the toilets always smell..... :o
