I've lived very close to this cafe for a year but haven't tried. One day just randomly came and tried their coffee and it was SO GOOD. Well balanced, good texture. Cheese&tomato toastie was crispy and flavourful and oat bowl was also delish. Definitely coming back!!

What an absolute delight to come across this rustic cafe nestled on the corner of a building along Castlereagh St in the CBD. Access through the doors is easily via a flat slightly raised entrance. There’s a selection of tables with chairs, window bench seats and communal tables, both with high stools. The first thing I felt was how friendly the staff were, the food choices were simple and when my steak sandwich came out it was so tasty! The window bench seats are a perfect place to sit out of the way and people watch. It’s a busy cafe but people seem to move through quickly and the food (I ordered via the app which charges the extra .35 cents) came out so fast! I’ll definitely be returning again and want to try a coffee next time ☺️

Really enjoyed a clean, well-structured, gently fruity coffee with salmon bagels :)

Amazing coffee place in the CBD! Love the industrial style and warm ambiance, even sitting outside is warm during this winter day. Great ☕️ as always... Today I was introduced to the Porter St. blend, had it as a flatwhite, and it easily became my new favorite. Very friendly and welcoming staffs... Highly recommend for coffee goers to capture the real Pablo&Rusty's coffee experience. Will be back to try the brunch menu for sure! 🤍

Lovely food atmosphere and staff. Lunch menu is simple and limited for me but I think that allows the food to be made well and quickly. I had the chicken sandwich and the ingredients were quality, chicken was tender, brioche buns were toasted and buttery and the sauce was just right I sampled the coffee flight. It's nice there's some information on the individual servings and the drinks were made with care. I'm a simple flat white enthusiast, but the expresso and filter coffee was a standout. The trailblazer coffee was a bit too milky and safe/boring but coffee is a personal preference. None of the drinks were bad and I enjoyed it.

Coffee takeaway is quick and top quality every time. Love that they use Norco milk, delish and creamy. Waiting area outside is quite nice now that the construction has moved

All about the coffee. If you're a coffee snob or just love coffee, then this is the place to experience caffeine heaven. The Expedition Program cofee is an experience you don't want to miss. The vibrant atmosphere, food and staff are pretty good too! Drop in - you won't regret it....

I’ve come here a couple of times for lunch now in the week and it’s been great both times. It’s nice to be able to get something a bit fancier than a sandwich for lunch but in a nice casual cafe setting. Fast service too. Would highly recommend, the food is great and I’ve heard the coffee of really nice too. This time I got the asparagus risotto and I loved it.

Had barista breakfast and ham cheese toastie in early Monday morning. Cute vibe, friendly people, nice and flavorful coffee, but pricey food (not even cut in even half 😂) Good place for friends’ reunion
