Bright and early every morning, Coffee Box Espresso opens its business to the many people making their way around the city. In it's great location just before the Harbourside bridge to Pyrmont, there is sure to be many passerbys stopping for a quick coffee or breakfast before they go about their way. Those who stop are in for a treat as the coffee bean of choice is Toby's Estate, while the display cabinets feature a range of fresh and on-site baked goodies. They also serve savoury options up such as sandwiches, wraps and rolls. The store itself is just as the name says.. a "box". It is compact and around the size of a kiosk, making it the perfect place to make a pit stop. There are also a few stools situated around the store making it suited for those who have a bit more time and prefer to sit down to enjoy their food/drinks.

It is thanks to Aura over at Sydney Public Relations that I had scored myself an invite to the wonder that is Coffee Box Espresso. This makes it my first dine-in foodie invite to anywhere so naturally I was excited and nervous all at once. But with the obvious name resounding over the ears of a coffee lover such as myself, I 110% would not say no to this one.


I invited Francis to come along with me this sunny day and we get to Coffee Box by noon which is technically still breakfast time for us. We were advised to ask for Vasili upon arrival but as he was out for the moment we arrived, his cousin who also worked in the store happily took care of us and offered us drinks off the menu. Friendly service!


I love the neat and red/black theme of the store that matches with their logo. All of the staff working also wear the Coffee Box t-shirt which I feel adds such a sense of unity and community.

One large coffee please~

I notice they also have some interesting options up there such as protein balls (pictured above) and drinks called "gym junkie" and "lean machine"!

I'm told that all the goodies are baked fresh every morning, on-site and ready to go! Delicious!

There is something so much more special when the coffee cup has a logo on it :)

Coffee Box Espresso was such a lovely experience for me and I'm sure it is for just about everybody who stops by too! I really enjoyed my coffee and the baked treats. If this is somewhere you pass by then I highly recommend you also stop by! If not then I believe this would also be fun to visit. A great idea I just had would to be getting a coffee and some food to go and enjoying it by the harbour.

All in all, thank you so much to Vasili and the Coffee Box team who took care of Francis and I, as well as thank you to Aura at Sydney Public Relations for the invitation :) xx
