Jervis Bay Coffee Co - Huskisson, New South Wales

Alexander Howen

A few days ago I found myself in Huskisson at a time I needed to participate in an online meeting. Rather than sit in my car I made my way to this cafe. On my last few visits I was passing through Huskisson just after closing time.

I am so glad I persevered. There is a nice vibe inside with the coffee roasting machine telling the world this place is about coffee. I quickly worked out their other super power is their bagels.

I did not feel like the more substantial combos offered on bagels, so at my request I ended up with an Aussie boy version, Vegemite on a bagel with butter (not the same without butter). Once the butter sank into the bagel and I applied that gourmet delicacy of Vegemite, I was in mid morning snack heaven. See my pic of the half eaten bagel.

My preference and test of any cafe is a macchiato. Opinions of coffee can be so subjective. The beans were good and the structure of the macchiato as you can see on the pic was fine although perhaps a little too much froth. My macchiato was probably a four star however my overall opinion of this cafe warranted a five star rating.

My online meeting was much more fun sitting on their small balcony gazing out across the entrance to Currumbeen Creek and the spectacular Jervis Bay. I must make an effort to get onto the whale watching cruiser sitting at the dock.

I noticed the cafe was set up for live music. Perhaps mid week was not the best time for this however check it to really amp up the experience. The staff by way were pleasant and the service quick.

Great views. Very nice interior. Love the roasting process right in the dining area. Excellent service. Very friendly. Coffee was really good, loved it.
The eggs your way option with bacon could improve - there was no butter on the bread and the bread was barely toasted, this meal was definitely very dry.
The avo on toast was well presented - again the bread wasn't toasted and the was no butter; even though there was avo it was still dry, despite the barely noticeable drizzle of olive oil over the bread.
In my error I should have asked for butter and I know they would have gladly brought me some.
The co-owner is prompt at replying and is very happy to consider all needs.
As for the toast, maybe they don't toast the bread so possibly just ask if they wouldn't mind toasting it.
They have only been open about a year, so there will definitely be improvement.
But overall a nice experience. Coffee is good. Definitely worth another visit.
Thank you to the co-owner for the positive comeback ?

Great coffee & latte art was on point. Couldn’t fault it. By far the best view of the bay for any coffee shop in town! Ditch the Main Street and lining up for hours with the crowds and go here instead.

(For the owners, we can definitely recommend getting some more signage everywhere so that people know you’re there! We just found it by mistake.)

Came in for a nice coffee as I could see it roasts its beans on site. I had a small long black which was average at best and had no crema upon serving. My dad had a cappuccino with no latte art and again, fairly average.

Jervis Bay Coffee Co is a quiet Cafe tucked away off of the main strip, and has all the makings of somewhere exceptional but is lacking in a couple of key areas.

The coffee was nice, but the latte art was really lacking, and made the flat white in particular look very odd.

The view over the water is beautiful, but the scaffolding obstructing the view almost completely ruins it (obviously this is not the fault of the Cafe).

The gent serving did our little one a babychino which he clearly put a lot of effort in so that was great.

Highchairs were available.

Update: Knocked off a star because of how aggressive the owner is being in their replies. Very odd to reply to a 4 star review is such a negative way, I think they're under the impression reviews are either 5 stars or useless?

Iced latte in paper cup intended for hot drinks. Why? 3 stars for this.

Hot almond mocha tastes good. Interested to know if its the beans or the chocolates.

Flourless cake is Good!

Location seems to be good, a few steps away from the beach but seems to be not busy. Compared to other coffee shops around.

Heaps nearby parking lot.

An absolute gem of a coffee spot.
Great coffee and a cinnamon scroll to die for, so good I went in for another.
Perfect after a windy day at the beach

I have been visiting Jervis for 5 days, and it was absolutely the best coffee in town.
The place is a bit hidden, which is great so you can escape from the crowd and get a nice coffee front ocean view.
Staff is lovely.
I will be back
