Gloria Jean's Campbelltown

1. Breakfast: scone with jam and cream.
2. Coffee: Regular creme brulee (hot), extra shot, on soy.

One of the highlights of my working day has to be my morning coffee at GJ's. aka Gloria Jean's. I usually stop by on my way up to the office, I almost always get a regular sized creme brulee hot coffee, always with an extra shot, always on soy milk. Sometimes I get a bit fancy alternating between a caramel latte or vanilla latte however being a regular customer, most staff know me by name and remember my usual unusual order. I give them top marks for customer service. The morning staff are so friendly and buzzing with energy (they probably had their coffee fix already). Although I don't really mind paying $6.55 each day, I guess I am lucky I work part time.

Antonio's on Crown, Wollongong

This is our new favourite place for breakfast. Although the stairs are were a bit hard to climb with a pram, and  eating out is never easy with a toddler, we find ourselves coming back here again, and again. Maybe it's the friendly service. Maybe it's the awesome coffee. Maybe it's the way I am able to be very specific with my order and they not only oblige, but remember everything without writing it down. "Eggs benedict please, can I have smoked salmon instead of ham? and the spinach slightly wilted (yes, I mean blanched) and a flat white, extra shot, on soy". They get my order right every time. I know it's not hard to remember but you would be surprised how many people have gotten it wrong even when they do write it down. That's what I like about this place, they get it right every time.
