"This hole-in-the-wall café is hands-down one of the best coffee haunts in Neutral Bay, the throng of caffeine fiends milling about on the pavement outside at any time of the day is testament to their product. It’s run by a couple of awesome guys who are passionate about consistently serving up good coffee with friendly, familiar service." - Born & Raised

Cannot be more disappointed!! Unwelcoming female staff on first approach, just beaver we look Asian? She even charged us 4 coffee when we only got 3. Didn’t realized until we checked the receipt. To be fair they did refunded after calling and texting, but this shouldn’t even happen in the first place. Coming from Melbourne, the coffee is only average. Not worth the hype

So friendly and welcoming. There's a nice vibe here in this almost hole in the wall cafe. It's buzzy inside with a few tables and there's a compact outdoor space with lounge, benches, stools and a table. The coffee is perfect, lots of flavour and strong (it's the house blend too). And the sourdough toasties, first class. Nice one Essence cafe

Long time lover of Whah Whah coffee (and the lovely team who are always so friendly!) now they have stepped up to offer a gorgeous selection of fresh sandwiches! Just what Neutral Bay and the broader Sydney community needs! Flavours are bold, fresh and really well balanced and the servings are perfectly sized for lunch. If you’re a lover of a good sami, absolutely make the trip to Whah Whah!

Can I have some filling with my bread orrr…? Nothing big about the ‘Big Zucc’ sandwich which was a small, tasteless, unseasoned, overpriced side salad on a dry, Woolworths-sized ciabatta roll. A far cry from the photos on their social media or Google listing. Hardly worth $7.50, let alone the $15 they charged.

Had a fantastic lunch here. This is what Neutral bay and Mosman were crying out for. Well priced, quality food with a friendly face. Wish you guys all the very best !

Had an amazing Granola Yoghurt Fruit Bowl and coffee. The staff and owners seem to have genuine authentic relationships with their customers.

Ah, Essence. My one true love. I've missed this place ever since I changed jobs and started working in the CBD. I drop by every now and again at the weekend for a cheeky coffee. It's still as good as I remember.

This is a great little hole in the wall with a great atmosphere. I have only grabbed a coffee here a few times, but it is exceptional. The coffee is smooth and delicious, which when I order decaf is surprising! The service is wonderful, so friendly and welcoming. Even when you are pushing a pram into a tiny little coffee shop to get bub out of the sun. As others have said, great spot for a solo coffee! There is limited seating, but great for take away!

True coffee bar with basic pastry accompaniments. The coffee is really good, service friendly and the muffin was tasty. Everything you could need in a coffee shop.

a couple of friends and myself went out to Neutral Bay for the day. found Essence Coffee right off Military Road and what a little hidden gem. the shop itself is quite small, but has a cozy feel to it. more importantly the coffee is legit. i had a flat white and it was pretty excellent. they did have food and other beverages available. their bacon egg roll looked quite tasty so i'll definitely have to check this place out again soon. service was great and the staff were really nice. worth a trip if you're in the area.

This place has a quiet and cool vibe that I like. Some places do, many don't. I suspect it's because of the narrow layout. Forces people's to interact and speak. Clever. Coffee is good. Muffins are bulging with berries and the sarnies look delicious. After 3 Addictions closed for morning coffee, Essence gets my vote for Cremorne/Neutral Bay. Okky runs things. Nice guy. Works hard.

Fantastic coffee. Every time. And I love how you only have to go in a few times and the staff know your order. Always extremely friendly and fast. Best coffee in the bay.

Totally agree with those that have reviewed previously ... Great coffee, and a place you can sit alone but still feel connected. Prompt service from the barista and a relaxed vibe and the coffee does not burn your mouth with the first sip.

Reminds me a little of Espresso Workshop on George Street....and that's not a bad thing.....cash only

This coffee is gooooooood. Does the best it can with such a small space and now that it's open on Sundays, five stars.

This little wonder has been serving excellent coffee and smiles for years. A true neighbourhood gem that treats newbies like the oldest customers with quick friendly service.
