Whilst working in between community visits, I popped into Brown Sugar for a quick lunch. Not only was it a warming toastie on a cold day, but it also warmed my heart chatting about interesting things for sale. Highly recommended to visit and have your own wonderful experience

One of the best coffee in town. Well worth the detour. They also have amazing toasties. The down side is there’s not a lot of seating and parking can be tricky. Great for take away though. Wonderful customer service! Verdict: must visit for the coffe!

Ohh My God. This place is honestly just amazing. I always drive past this place and when I visited here I noticed there was parking and I needed a coffee, so I stopped in. The lady's were so friendly, very chatty and helpful. The coffee was great, hot and strong. I also got a pistachio/almond slice. It was crumbly, sweet, delicious and wasn't enough of it..... I'll be back for more for sure.

OMG! I came here on a recommendation and I was blown away! This is a super gorgeous little coffee hole-in-the-wall. They only have take aways but it's definitely worth the visit. We had coffee and pastries. The coffee was great. The cruffin (croissant crossed with a muffin) and the escargot was delightful too! Yum. The service is super friendly and the the woman who took my order put a smile on my face with her bright and bubbly attitude. If you have a puppy then you'll be stoked to know that they have a puppuccino station. Dogs welcome!

I'm not one to often give full fives but this place ticked every box for me. Warm friendly environment (you feel like you're in your mum's kitchen literally), great coffee, one of the best cheese toasties I've ever had for $11-12 and friendly service

Really friendly staff, clearly busy local place. Had to wait an unreasonably long amount of time for a toastie and toast order so - perhaps understaffed. A little pricey too but delicious food. If they could broaden the menu with an egg/ bacon wrap and it’d be perfect!

Finally made it to @brownsugarespresso after a really busy morning at work. I have been following/drooling over their Instagram account for a while now. It definitely did not disappoint. The toasties (chilli chicken; ham cheese and tomato) were scrumptious and coffees hot and strong. We also brought home a brownie and a financier for later. On top of the food, the warm and friendly service is outstanding!! Will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.
