About Brew Crew Specialty Coffee

Brew Crew delivers serious specialty coffee to St Ives, pulling precise shots from ONA beans starting at dawn. Regulars know the drill: grab an early espresso or soy flat white before the morning commute, or pull up an outdoor seat after bushwalks around Ku-Ring-Gai. Baristas keep extraction tight with timed shots and measured doses, dialing in blends alongside single origins like Raspberry Candy. The kitchen keeps things straightforward with crisp bacon and egg rolls, tuna melts, and açai bowls.

  • ONA Specialty Coffee: Bars run on ONA beans with weighed doses and timed water contact for dialed-in espresso.
  • Dawn Fuel: Espresso machines fire before 6:00 AM on weekdays and at 6:00 AM on weekends for early commuters.

  • Post-Trail Refueling Spot

    Hikers returning from trails at Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park find a rewarding destination for specialty long blacks and freshly made sandwiches.

    Stopped here after hiking in Ku-Ring-Gai park. We ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich and a tuna melt, both of which were decent and just the right amount of food. After lunch, I got a long black which was excellent.
