Discovered Charlie Lovett while visiting Sydney last month. After a week of flat whites and their fresh brewed chai tea (the BEST I’ve ever had) I became a fan. Too bad they’re thousands of miles away from me. Had I realized Charlie’s wasn’t a chain, I’d bought on of their t-shirts.

I come here a few times every week. Their chai is the best in Sydney, they brew it instead of using syrup and the staff are so friendly!!

I go quite often, and the staff are generally always very nice and helpful.
One morning I was waiting 14 minutes for the smoothie and noticed no-one had started to even make it, so asked for a refund as I had to go to work. They were very apologetic and had just simply forgot. I got a full refund and the next time I was in, we had a wee giggle about it and gave me a free coffee. Friendly, nice, good service, keen to keep a local coming back.

However today, I went to order a bun with filling as I have done before, but this time he charged me $14.40. I asked how it could be so much, and he went off on a tangent about something like a salad on the side etc. I only wanted simple bun with some meat and salad inside to takeaway as they make everyday, and as I have had before. After some discussion about what I was actually after, and he suggesting he talk to his chef (yep somehow needed to see if the chef was still there to make it, got me confused), I suggested I didn’t understand him, he didn’t understand me, so lets not worry and I will just grab my small coffee. Sure, he gave me a refund, but only $8.90, meaning my small coffee has now cost me $4.50.
Sorry, but with all the choice around, and esp a good one just up the road and round the corner who has yet to make a mistake, I can not go back to this place. I tried and tried, and talked them up to all in our office, but too many errors, so they have lost this faithful.

Coffee may be good, but $4.95 for a thin slice of pumkin bread is way too expensive! What a mark up, how much would this cost to bake?

This place is a gem. The food is fantastic, the staff are cheery, fun, polite and you can have a bit of banter with them. It comes across that they love what they do. This place seems thriving and should be – I never fail to be impressed. Try the chicken/avocado ciabatta – to die for!
