About Bacino Espresso Balgowlah

Balgowlah early risers rely on this corner hub for dawn espresso pulls and generous morning plates that land on the table at sprint pace. Service runs like clockwork, turning out crisp-edged waffles, hefty Italian scrambled eggs over thick bread, and breakfast bagels built for rushed commutes. Even the cappuccinos skip standard cocoa dust for real shaved chocolate flakes over textured milk.

  • Pre-Dawn Trading: Doors open before dawn and wrap up service at 1:00 PM daily.
  • Real Chocolate Flakes: Cappuccinos are finished with real shaved chocolate flakes instead of cocoa powder.
  • Staple Bakery Treats: Regularly stocked with baked bread and treats sourced from Staple Bakery.

  • Halloumi

    I did ask for halloumi on the side as this was only an extra $3!! How could you not. I couldn't eat everything but even the halloumi was sooo tasty and cooked perfectly.
