Speed Bar Espresso

A quality coffee pit stop; especially if you want a coffee before either heading to work in the morning, or if you are on your way to Hyde Park and want a coffee. It is great for that. Not the type of establishment to be hanging around for too long, or to buy any food items. If you just want quality coffee with a spoonful of sugar, then come here. As the name implies (having tried it to be really, really sure) the name of this business definitely lives up to its purpose in the coffee making department; expect speedy (yet fantastic) service. The barista’s are really that fast on their feet; yet you just go with the flow and all of a sudden everything just seems to flow so nicely and in place right here.
Needs to be visited for any of those two scenarios above to be appreciated and see where I am really coming from. Service is fast and friendly to sum up the experience; and this is an establishment that has stood the test of time and will continue to if; and only if they continue to live up to their unique selling point of fast and friendly service in the coffee making arena.

Directly opposite my office on Park Street, Speed Bar is always our go-​to for 4pm sugar cravings. I have two words for you: banana bread. Actually, make that four: Mama Ka’z banana bread. Perfect in taste and texture, I’ve started eating it so much that I’ve convinced myself it’s a food group. There are also plenty of other treats like cupcakes if you prefer your fruit left in the basket. These guys do great lunches too — the tuna salad (lettuce, sun-​dried tomatoes, olives, onion, egg and tuna) is huge for under $ 10 and comes with a side serve of bread.
