  Thank you for providing Toby's Estate to the Mall. It's one of the finest I've ever had and the bonus is no need for sugar.

  Absolutely shocking and would NOT recommend for coffee or the training they offer. Went in for a coffee and was served by an extremely obnoxious and rude middle-aged woman... unfortuately it's the owner. I ordered a latte and asked if I could be terribly untraditional and get some chocolate sprinkled on top, to which she curtly replied: "So you want a capuccino then?" I said no, I did want a latte just with some chocolate. She then preceded to tell me the only difference between a capuccino and latte is the chocolate and that all espresso-based long drinks are the same, in milk terms. Oh dear. To have no idea on milk-espresso ratios and frothed v steamed milk, for a training centre, is appalling. They want $180 for a day training and you would have no chance of employment after if you're trained to think that chocolate sprinkles is all that makes a difference. To top this shocking experience off, she also told me that coffee in Europe is "all terrible" and she knows this because she's competed with them. Ha. Now, as a Brit who has lived in France for 5 years and travelled throughout Europe, I would have to strongly disagree. I advised her to go travel a bit... I think this lady needs to go get refreshed on coffee skills but also needs a massive dose of people and customer service skills. I went in for a latte; came out with an OK one but sadly in shock from a very unecessary confrontation from a very unfortunate lady.
