The Deciding Factors
Why Sutherland locals rely on The Crossing Espresso Bar for their daily rituals, weekend pit stops, and brunch catch-ups.
Specialty Threepence Coffee Every Morning
The cafe brews specialty espresso using Threepence coffee beans, providing exceptional and consistent coffee for Sutherland morning routines.
They serve Three Pence coffee, and it was my first time trying it, absolutely unreal.
Ryan Spencer Fresh Cold Milk Steamed per Jug
Unlike venues that reheat leftover milk, baristas steam 100% fresh, cold milk for each jug to maintain silky texture and taste.
One of the very few coffee shops where you can rely on them to use 100% fresh, cold milk in every jug.
Chris Wyer Effortless Pit Stop for Families on the Move
Convenient front seating and rapid takeaway service offer an easy stop for parents in transit between weekend activities and dog walkers.
A good little pit stop in between kids sports.
Dione Hart Quick Takeaway for the Daily Commute
Freshly grilled hot sandwiches and espresso prepared to go ensure a fast, dependable breakfast during morning transit.
I really enjoyed my take away chicken toastie and soy cap this morning.

Dione Hart Labneh Eggs
Labneh Eggs! Such yummy flavours, perfect proportions & generous in size!
Paul and Melinda Collins Mushroom Omelette
The mushroom omelette was the winner winner for me: while the slice of sourdough on top seemed a little misplaced, the variety of mushrooms, fetta, and onions make this special a winner, and a perfect brunch choice alongside a large cappuccino.
