Axil Coffee Roasters

A decent cafe in Hawthorn. I came here on the weekend with a friend and we ordered the fritters and baked eggs. Be mindful that there is a weekend surcharge. My friend really enjoyed her coffee and baked eggs. The corn fritters were good, however, I found them underwhelming compared to other reviews I’ve read.

AXIL COFFEE ROASTERS – The Roastery What a lovely coffee encounter Today, just before heading out to Sydney, I went to visit Miss Mook at Axil Coffee Roasters in Hawthorns. I received a warm welcome 🤗 and a great coffee suggestions: a filter coffee, a magic, and a single origin espresso. Of course I also ordered an Aussie breakfast; 🍳 eggs on toast with a sliced avocado 🥑 [you can have it crushed too]. The Colombian 🇨🇴 filter coffee was beautiful, with a lot of depth, a lively, yet well balanced acidity, and a red wine acidity and bitterness. I liked the dark fruit notes and the tamarind flavor, very unique and pleasant. The magic 🪄 came with the seasonal house 🏡 blend: the milk was brilliantly textured, super sweet and smooth all the way, and it was poured very nicely 🦢. That is what I expect from a specialty place ❤️. The coffees from Brazil 🇧🇷, Costa Rica 🇨🇷, and Guatemala 🇬🇹 cut nicely through the milk 🥛. Well done 👍🏼. The breakfast was delicious too: I especially liked the warm eggs 🥚 on the crunchy and buttery 🧈 toast. The contrast to the cooler avocado 🥑 was a great match and the fresh lemon 🍋 rounded this breakfast up perfectly. To finish my breakfast I enjoyed a single origin espresso from Guatemala 🇬🇹: El Buho [Maria Vides], washed Caturra with notes of caramel, nectarine, peach 🍑, and citrus 🍊. How much better can you start into your day. Thank you Miss Mook for the great hospitality and lovely chat. You made my day ☀️. And thank you to Anthony, Jack, and Matt for the additional espresso cupping in your training room 😉.
