Great spot to pick up a coffee and a fresh loaf of sourdough. If you're after a full sit-down meal there are better (and cheaper) options nearby, but Bread, Espresso & is undoubtedly home to the best coffee in North Wollongong. They offer a full selection of milk alternatives too (inc Bonsoy brand soy milk ) and have a good range of cold drinks available (smoothies, juices, kombucha etc). A welcome addition to the area.
