Apothecary Coffee McIntosh Street

Great cafe with nice coffee and lots of food options for those on the go. Although hidden away from the interchange, the cafe is still very busy, with obvious regulars, but coffee was bought out quickly and efficiently. Ordered a large almond mocha. Slightly pricy at $7.10 however they used melted chocolate (option between milk and dark) and was delicious. Unfortunately coffee in Chatswood is just naturally expensive. My friend had a regular oat cappuccino with some bircher muesli, which she enjoyed too. The staff were lovely and the atmosphere is great, good for study and work if you don’t mind light chatting in the background. Will come back! 4/5 stars.

Excellent coffee and service. Apothecary cafe have an absolutely awesome range of loose leaf teas and the coffee comes in your standard espressos and pourovers! There is also specialty coffee as well. Food options are standard cafe haunts of wraps and toasties.

I’m so excited to have finally found a this great coffee place in Sydney. It’s reminiscent of the specialty coffee houses in Melbourne like Baba Budan. Food options are limited to mainly rolls and croissants with a couple of pastries and cakes, but it’s fresh and tasty. Sadly it’s a little far from me but I’m prepared to take a train ride out on occasion just for the coffee.

Food choices limited except those daily specials like the soups ! Haven’t been back to notice them. Interiors been unchanged for a while albeit the numerous new pop ups everywhere making it more like a commercial coffee club then a specialty coffee shop (why don’t they focus on the branding and visibility of this one? It doesn’t even open on weekends as it is!) I have been used to seeing with their own branded beans but it’s now some Paradox brand, getting commercial but hey it might be their strategy. The staff are nice, albeit the coffee (cappuccino today) execution (today) was underwhelming- I can say it was just ever so slightly underextracted as it was more acidic and just didn’t have that coffee flavour, the milk steaming depending whose on is good. The good old days, Dane was a champion at it and mark my words, knew how to get the right balance between sweetness of milk to blend w the house blend. These days it’s a hit and miss. I don’t mind the ambience works for what I need a coffee might not appeal to all.

This place has become my sanctuary. I go here every week for a relaxed coffee and to read my book. It wins over the other cafes in the area because they use real melted chocolate in their hot chocolates and mochas. Plus the coffee is amazing and the staff are super friendly and remember you even after only a few visits.
