Much to my surprise, Caffe Esc buttered bread, the actual spiciness of the chilli scrambled eggs and bacon blew me away.
Ordered:
🍳 Chilli Scramble eggs, with bacon, spring on and harissa on toast ($15.00)
Review:
What an absolute gem! From the outside, the cafe that is tucked into ANZ has an humble facade, I did not expect much from the food.
There are too many places that do not do SPICY with chilli scrambled eggs. But at Caffe Esc within that first taste, you get that tingly feeling that settles in your stomach really well.
Caffe Esc provided me with such perfect bread. Easy to cut, yet crunchy (reminding me favourably of croutons), with a layer of butter provided a perfect base.
Eggs may look a little too yellow but they were pretty good.
Would highly recommend their chilli scrambled eggs!
Couple of nitpicky reasons of why they did not get a 5/5 was because:
- ordering was a little confusing. There is an unclear method of whether they would prefer you to pay at table, or they want you to order at the POS counter.
- presentation was a bit off.
Nonetheless, Caffee Esc is excellent. Would recommend to friends!

Stopped for a super quick bircher muesli breakfast. Made with almond milk and Greek yoghurt this bircher wasn’t sweet (which I loved) and topped with seeds and goji berries. The addition of frozen blueberries on top was very clever and added an interesting crunchy texture.
I hit the ESC key on my work for a longer than usual lunch break today so ventured down to Caffe ESC which is on the corner of the ANZ building in Docklands. Most were sitting outside but my dining buddy preferred an inside table and we were promptly seated. This cafe has quite a decent range on the everyday menu but also had an interesting specials range on a wall blackboard. Their brunch menu goes until 2pm.
I ordered the grilled chicken burger and we also ordered the Nasi Goreng. My chicken burger came out in a delightfully soft Turkish bread bun. The chicken wasn’t crumbed and had only a mild seasoning. It was exactly what I felt like as I have been eating a lot of fried chicken just recently. You will forgive me my yummy chips I hope. They were good. The Nasi Goreng came in a bowl with egg and I was advised it was tasty and by all accounts gone at the end of our dining experience.
I would come back here to try some of the healthy sounding cereal based breakfasts which appealed.
Recommended by my friend and he is the person who wouldn't recommend something just like that so I had to try
Enjoyed the coffee here freshly ground beef with just got enough milk coffee was smooth like silk
Awesome cafe, awesome service, awesome staff and most importantly the best tasting coffee in all of Docklands 👌 wouldn't look any further than Cafe ESC, Serg and his team are very friendly and get the time

Has to be the best brew in docklands!
Good for lunch. We had a pleasant lunch here. Can't say we're great fans of the Docklands - overpriced and overrated is what we generally find - but this place did a good lunch at a reasonable price. Wine, coffee, little cakes for desert. Nothing to complain about.
Fantastic coffee an the muffins are absolutely delicious. Service is very friendly with some pretty waitresses to boot. Prices are higher than most of the local cafes however so unfortunately I'm not a regular.
Best cappuccino I’ve ever had. The food was insanely tasty. Highly recommend
Great coffee and friendly efficient service.
My go to cafe when interstate. Perfect coffee, friendly staff.

Located on the corner of the ANZ headquarters, this cafe is open to the public and provides excellent coffee and fantastic service. Friendly staff are happy to have you sit and talk and sip your coffee. Plenty of tables and comfortable whether sitting inside or outdoors.
