Pablo & Rusty's - Epping
One Pablo is not like the other and more than likely it comes down to staff. I think the staff here are great, but perhaps not up to the same standard of those in Gordon. They have even taken away one of the major benefits of this cafe, the ability to enjoy coffee while #powerwhoring. Now with the new setup in the back, they still have the comfy black couch, but the power socket on the wall is covered over. I guess that people were abusing the privilege.

The coffee I had today was a Guatemalan (Santa Clara) single origin espresso, and while interesting, it kind of under delivered. Really struggled to pick up many of the flavours from the tasting notes (like plum, caramel, and pear) , but could understand why they would associate the light bright notes as red apple (non-sweet).

As the cup cooled down I also managed to smell a very light whiff of peanut brittle, but it was not a strong aspect of this coffee. While it is all part of the journey, really like to get coffees (especially the single origins) to push the boundaries a little. Perhaps cafes could have a single of the day and suggest how it could best be experienced? Just a thought.

Over all, this is a great cafe for the area. It is comfortable, the service is friendly and it is convenient. It is a shame about the power socket though, as that was one of the main draw cards for this cafe.
