Trang made the most wonderful coffees for the 4 of us hiking team today. Kelly made great banana cakes and chicken sandwiches. Prompt and friendly service. Would highly recommend you try them out.

This is my go to latte place when I’m in the area! It is a small, quiet, unassuming place run by very adorable and friendly Vietnamese ladies. It’s one of the few places that actually make a tasty chai latte (most places taste more like steamed milk with sugar and cinnamon only) and turmeric latte. Taro is not bad too, but the other 2 are my favorites

Nice little cafe near Thornley station with a 1950s vintage feel. The service is warm and friendly. They make a great oat mocka. They had a specials board and I noticed they serve sandwiches and light meals.

Came here for a quick weekday lunch after seeing it on Google reviews, and what a nice treat in a family-run business. Berry smoothie was heavenly and the eggs Benedict were delicious. Service is friendly albeit a little slow. They do have a sign that says "We believe in serving a quality product. Fresh food doesn't always mean fast". Limited seating so don't come with a big group. Perfect for couples or a small family.

Super cute coffee shop next to Thornleigh station. Ordered all day breakfast and beef burger and they all satisfied us. They serve ice coffee as well. And all staffs here are super friendly. Will definitely come back here again and again.

By far the best Chai latte in this area. Even their Taro and Turmeric lattes are exceptionally tasty and authentic. Definitely worth of trying. Convenient location next to train station but there is car park available too if you are after takeaway.

Just when I thought I was out of options for a morning coffee, I pulled off Pennant Hills Road near Thornleigh train station and saw a cafe with a Campos sign out front. Great start! So I found a park nearby and walked back to see a bit of a lineup. Well, it's probably good if people are willing to line up...and the line actually moved pretty quickly! Step up, and they have the Jumbo Campos cups (yay!) It's always good to have a friendly barista and Trang didn't disappoint - she was quick with my Capp yet it was a good one Overall, very glad to have found Curl the Whisker Cafe. I'll have to drop in again next time I pass through!

The first I had coffee at this place was way back 2014 and it was awesome. .. then i did not got a chance since then. Now after 9 years finally i got the opportunity to try again and it’s still awesome. It’s one of best Campos coffee in town if you love Campos. A nice little shop next to Thornleigh station and best to unwind yourself on a sunny weekend morning with a coffee 100% recommend for Campos coffee lovers.
