A stalwart of Lidcombe station. Reliable for a fast coffee and greasy take-away, or sandwich. The coffee is good. Rarely terrible, but never stellar. The sizes for take-away coffee goes up to XL, because they know what their customers want. I sat down for breakfast, recently. The tables in the back are never busy, and you don't get bothered while you relax with your order and the paper. Classic English breakfast options, freshly cooked. I ordered eggs on toast with baked beans. Good sourdough! Egg report: thoroughly scrambled, not too creamy, cooked to firm, but not rubber. Prices very reasonable.

Douglas oppa starts making coffee at 5am, consistently good and fast! He remembers our names and orders by heart, always friendly to everyone, even when it gets busy! Once, we arrived slightly before 5am and we saw him running towards us with a big smile. If you're looking for a 'quick perk me up' before catching the train, this is as close as you could get for a liquid hug. Thank you Douglas!
