Gnome Espresso and Winebar

Feels like new owners and they've missed a trick since starting up. The last two times I've been the food has been way off what it used to deliver. The coffee is still awesome though. I used to give this place 5 stars, but not anymore...

As a Surry Hills local, I popped in to Gnome this morning for a coffee.Given it's Surry Hills, I usually expect some level of fun loving sass but John who served me seemed to be in a particularly bad mood and ended up throwing my change across the counter towards me. Not in a fun loving manner at all. Further to this, I had ordered an iced long black. The coffee was weak and there was no ice. Safe to say I won't be returning.

The best flat white I ever had in Sydney. I know everyone has different taste in terms of coffee, but mine is satisfied with Gnome. I love their cronut as well, very sweet, but it is a good pairing with coffee. The staff is also very kind and friendly. Even though the space is small, it is the food that matters :

I ordered a pumpkin bread and a coconut yoghourt with grain～ They are delicious～ I am not really fond of coffee. But it is pretty good too～ I enjoy the nice service～

I much prefer gnome to Brewtown. The same amazing cronuts, but better, fresher tasting brunch food. Extra points for being able to order wine and **** marys in the AM!
