The Espresso Room

Headline - good food, good coffee and a totally unpretentious atmosphere.

Coffee gets 3.5 - 4 - its campos and my personal taste for campos finds it a little underwhelming but extremely consistent. So if you're a lover of campos - you'll love the coffee here.

Food gets 4 - 4.5, I've eaten here twice so far. They don't have full kitchen facilities so you won't get a full food service, but that hasn't stopped them producing relatively simple, excellent sandwiches and salads. My pick of the breakfast foods has been the fried egg roll with chorizo, onion jam and rocket. I've had similar food in other places and found the onion jam (which seems to be in vogue at the moment) to be un-tasteable and the rocket sourness overpowering - not so here, everything is in just the right proportion for a roll that has a little chorizo pepper, a little rocket sour and a little onion ham sweetness. Very good, a simple display of cooking talent.

Atmosphere gets 3.5 - it's a cafe, so you need to go in expecting a cafe experience. Tables are small and built for two with a lounge down one wall and chairs down the counter side. There is enough space for a laptop and coffee but a laptop and food is unmanageable. The high ceilings (about 3.6m) and cloth panels on one wall mean it feels airy and doesn't really echo - so you can have a conversation comfortably and the music (currently The beegees) is played so quietly it's more of a comfortable background murmur than anything you pay attention to (a very good thing). It is also air conditioned. There is outdoor seating with larger tables but they are on military road - so it's noisy and hot in summer and I would assume noisy and cold in winter. Downside is that it is an open kitchen and they do seem to wash up by hand - so you'll get occasional plates and cutlery banging.

Great coffee. The coffee here is great, the barista/owner will make sure you get your coffee perfect. I was told there will be major changes in menu as well.

Lovely people. I agree the sandwiches are overpriced and my daughter didn't find them too tasty, however the coffee is great and the owners are lovely! Great feel to the place and nice muffins and cakes.

My partner and I came here for the first time today. The staff were very friendly and delivered good customer service . We ordered the chicken sandwich and the borek which were very delicious and filling. The coffees were very good also. 😋😍

Best local Campos coffee. BG & Harry have excellent food & service and cannot do enough for their customers. I've been going there every day for over 7 years.

Little gem, BG and his team have made this cafe an amazing experience and food. If you are around the area highly recommend to come and have a great coffee. They have toilets available and water bowls for animals 🏋️🏋️🏋️
