There are mornings when everything clicks. The coffee's just right. The food arrives exactly as you hoped. The person behind the counter knows your order before you've opened your mouth.
That's Forest Espresso. And it's been part of Frenchs Forest's mornings for 25 years. Now under new ownership — young, passionate, hands-on — the kitchen and coffee have never been better.
Coffee That's Worth Getting Up For
Every coffee at Forest Espresso is pulled fresh to order — no pre-made batches, no rush job. From the first flat white at 6:30am to the last long black before 3pm, the standard doesn't shift.
- Flat white · Long black · Latte · Cappuccino
- Chai · Matcha · Cold brew
- Every cup made fresh to your order
Breakfast Worth the Drive
Our breakfast is built around real food made fresh every morning. The Big Breakfast is the one people talk about — eggs your way, thick-cut bacon, breakfast sausage, sourdough toast, grilled tomato, hash brown.
For something lighter: smashed avo on sourdough, fresh fruit, or one of our toasted gourmet melts to take away. Everything is made in-house, every day. Nothing sits.
Lunch Until 3pm
We're one of the few cafés in Frenchs Forest open right through until 3pm — gourmet melts, burgers, salads, and daily specials. Order ahead at forestespresso.cafe and skip the queue entirely.
Just 5 Minutes from Northern Beaches Hospital
Northern Beaches Hospital is less than 1km away. Open from 6:30am — we're ready before most shifts begin. Hospital workers: ask us about the Coffee Club.
If you're starting a shift, visiting a patient, or squeezing in a break — Forest Espresso is the quality alternative to hospital food, just minutes away.
Coffee Club — Your Morning Pays You Back
10th coffee free, every time. Plus 15% off your first online order when you order ahead. No app. No fuss. Just a card that gets punched every visit.
