Coffee Tea & Me

Great coffee, great food and great service. Always a line in the front or either few people sitting and enjoying coffee. Would have given 5 stars if it is bigger and have more comfortable space to sit down.

This place is a little hole in the wall really but I really like this place.
Great coffee and friendly staff.
Inside seating available consists of little stools and tables with some class room styled seating for outside.
It has some cheap salads and sandwiches and things to satisfy the sweet tooth.
Good prices and healthy styled foods.
Did I mention the coffee is… great?!

This is a nice spot, but I just can’t go higher than 3 stars for it. The coffee was good, but that’s standard all over the neighborhood. The bagels are tasty. And at $ 7 to $ 10 for the pair, value is great too. It’s a tiny, cute little place with friendly staff. My problem is this; the menu for the bagels is wrong.
I *really* like bagels, and when I saw this place I was very excited to try it for breakfast. So the next morning I queued up, ordered my flat white and avocado smoked salmon bagel, then waited… After an acceptable time my order appeared… except it was plainly a tomato and salami bagel. OK, mistakes happen, and the bagel was politely returned. Another wait, after which a fresh bagel appears. I see salmon, plenty of salmon. Good. I bite in, and… cream cheese. What? Wrong order again?
After a brief dissection of the offending bagel I find plenty of cream cheese and perhaps one tiny sliver of avocado. The waiter offered to change it again, but the barista piped up that the salmon-​avo bagels had always been like that, so I’d just get the same again. The menu says salmon-​avo, no mention anywhere of cream cheese. I really did not want cream cheese, but my hungry, sleep-​deprived brain was confused. So I ate it anyway. And it was a perfectly acceptable salmon-​cream cheese bagel, especially for the price. But, and this is the important point; the menu should say salmon-​cream cheese, because that’s what it is if there’s ten times more cream cheese than anything else.

Had great cappuccino and shortbread cookies at this place. Tiny place with a wonderful atmosphere.

Growing up, I thought that bagels were a vaguely Jewish superfood reserved for the silver screen elite, like that mailman on Seinfeld.
In my (allegedly) more enlightened adulthood, I have discovered the miracle that is the coffee and bagel deal at Coffee, Tea & Me and frankly, it has changed my life.
Blink and you’ll miss it, this C, T&M outlet straddles the border of Kings Cross and Potts Point, ideal for locals but probably not worth traveling out of area for.
The cozy atmosphere is maintained with a gigantic retro fridge (they let me inside one time), antique cabinets full of cakes and furniture made from the leftovers at a trash and treasure.
At only $ 6-​$ 9 dollars the coffee and bagel deal is a stand-​out. Bagels of all flavours and toppings are stacked just out of sight. The halloumi is king, while the unassuming cheese and tomato is a valiant second. Basil leaves are the not-​so-​secret ingredient, but they blow my mind.
Seating is limited, and you’ll likely wait out in the street while your coffee percolates so wear comfortable shoes. The staff are as friendly as the staff anywhere in Potts Point are.
If you’re after a quick coffee and a brunch, without the fuss of sitting down and talking to your friend or lover, then C, T&M if the café for you.

Always a great selection of pastries! Line ups can be annoying on the weekend but worth the wait. Awesome coffee!

This place is tiny. That’s the first thing you’ll notice about it. In fact, it feels like a small old country kitchen.
Which is somewhat unusual given it’s in Potts Point — but — what’s not unusual for Potts Point is that it does great coffee. In keeping with the country kitchen theme, there are great cookies, cakes and pastries, and even homemade lemonade.
And one big bonus: unlike most coffee shops in the area, it’s open until 8pm!

It hasn’t got the same diversity of pies, bread or pastries as BSB; but it makes up for bagels, home made lemonade, mango/​banana breads, and biscuits. Coffee is perfect. The place reminds me of a really beautifully crafted 1930s pantry.
Even newspapers hung on the walls, bound neatly around wooden handles, for the taking and reading.
Lastly the waitress is a beautiful mixed English /​Caribbean woman, with a charming demeanor.
Try it. It is a true hole in the walk though, but like an Alice in Wonderland you’ll be charmed.
