Mobile Coffee Express

Don’t be fooled by the appearance and location of this coffee shop. A take away shop on a platform might not be everyone’s taste (excuse the pun), but that doesn’t necessarily translate to their coffees. They serve up a mellow-​mild brew with a light nutty aroma, which is quite pleasing on the palate.
Prices are reasonable too: Flat-​white, cappuccino etc. $ 3.00, Macchiato $ 2.50, extra shot $ 0.50. Despite the number of customers you’ll get your coffee quite quickly and even get an ornament-​thingy on top (aka coffee art).
Mobile Coffee Express might be lacking the atmosphere of a regular coffee shop –no timber floors, warm tones, sun-​kissed seating, quietness, traffic-​calmed– but look at the atmosphere from a different (or opposite) angle and it all becomes so much more interesting: contemporary and durable flooring (tiles), beachy colours (mustard paint), the latest in large-​area lighting (CityRail really knows how to light up the platforms), lively (many commuters) and close to transport (trains literally at your doorstep). And, which coffee-​shop has the peace of mind of CCTV– and guard-​security?
Enjoy the coffee while waiting for your train, and amuse yourself at all the characters you see: People dashing helter-​skelter down the escalators towards the train that is not due out for a couple of minutes, that blonde beach babe just arriving probably heading for Bondi Beach, the suit checking email on his Blackberry, or that large chick… ok, I’ll better stop there.
Imagine the time saved when you come out of BJ station with a coffee in your hand, striding straight into the office, or vice-​versa, boarding the train to your inner-​city workplace while nipping on a brew in your comfy train seat while Edgecliff, Kings Cross etc. pass by.
