From the moment I step foot off the top of the escalator and peer left I’m greeted with what seems to be the most inviting, warm, and genuine smile. You guessed it, the taste of spring hills. Every time I approach this cafe I enter a tropical paradise. From the sweet smelling pastries, to the tasteful coffee, this man knows how to run a cafe ! Ever since coming here for the first time many many years ago, the cafe has maintained its honour. Hats off to you sir, you made it. You followed your dream of opening a cafe and I can proudly say you’ve done an outstanding job. Thanks for doing the whole community proud. Best wishes for the future :)

Whenever I have an experience at taste of spring hills it feels like I enter a tropical paradise. From the warm smile I’m greeted with as I enter, to the exceptional 5 star customer service, alongside the extensive list of affordable gourmet food and drink… this place feels like home. You wouldn’t find better service at a 6 star hotel if you tried. Honestly wouldn’t recommend this place enough. Give it a shot you won’t regret it.

Love all the food and coffee and the staff are lovely, I just wish they had a nicer wrap to put the food in The wrap itself tastes like uncooked dough

BEST COFFEE IN BALGOWLAH No more morning disappointments - If you are looking for a consistently good coffee around Balgowlah, this is the place to go! The folks behind the machine are super friendly, always remember your order and both know how to make a killer cup. Plus, they are slightly cheaper than other cafes around. Sure, other shops might be trendier but coffee is so inconsistent as they churn through so many baristas and try to keep up with orders. No issues here, you’ll always get the same friendly and smiling people behind the bar, so rest assured your coffee will not disappoint. Haven’t tried the food.
