Good review but not nearly enough made of the coffee.

Ah well, I guess that the reviewer was more of a foodie than a Coffeesnob!

Good to see CSrs are trendsetters too!

Good review I thought.

Cordial has the best coffee in Sydney IMHO.

But they do some good food and service there as well. So happy for the general review I guess.

I went there about two weeks ago, on a Saturday. My lunch was really good, but my coffees were great!

Their barista really knows what he is doing and his latte art was excellent

Re: CS haunt Cordial gets a review in the Herald

I was visiting Sydney (and Newtown) today and, based on recommendations on this forum, paid a visit to Cordial.

Im surprised people are recommending this place. The coffee was bitter, poorly extracted. The place was dirty and grungey and the bean hopper on their grinder was covered in rancid old coffee bean oils!

My latte was so bad I couldnt finish it! A big disappointment.

I was walking back up the street, lamenting the bitter aftertaste and waste of money, and quite by accident discovered Campos. This restored my faith! Excellent coffee here and great service.

Cordial used to use Golden Cobra beans. Something happened about a year ago, they changed their coffee and now they arent very good anymore.

Golden Cobra dont roast and are not involved with them anymore.

I dont understand what youre saying Dennis.

I agree, Cordial is in no way associated with Golden Cobra. They used to use their beans - Vertigo Blend - way back when...but not anymore.

However, Golden Cobra does still roast. I buy their beans weekly by mail order.

What Im saying is that Golden Cobra no longer roast for Cordial. Cordial changed hands a while back. Its not the same.
