Absolutely everything lovely at Apex Espresso! Delicious coffee and food made to perfection, great vibes, very lovely welcoming staff, really good energy place that bright up your day when you visit! If you're in the area, make sure you stop by. If you're in other areas of Sydney, just drive here or catch the train. The train station is soo cute, it looks like a British country town, with trees and flowers, gorgeous. Take a break from busy city and come for coffee in Gymea at Apex Espresso! Im in love with this place! Just what we need to balance our mind from all crazy life's stuff! We need a great feel good coffee break! Thank you!

Apex Espresso has completely raised the bar—this place is a hidden gem for true coffee lovers. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth and genuine smiles that instantly make you feel welcome. The staff go above and beyond, remembering your name, your order, and even taking time to chat without ever slowing down the service. Now the coffee? Next level. Each cup is a masterpiece—smooth, rich, and bursting with flavor. You can taste the passion and precision in every pour. Whether it's a silky flat white, bold espresso, or a custom creation, everything is brewed to perfection. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the art of coffee and the heart of service, but Apex Espresso does it effortlessly.

Always super friendly service from the ladies working here, I've had many a coffee here and rate it as my favourite cafe in Gymea. They stock campos and sell a range of tasty food. I've sat down for breakfast with my busy toddler and felt very welcome.

What an amazing coffee quality! The best flat white I’ve had so far. The crew is so lovely that it’s a pleasure coming here.

I have only discovered this cafe recently. Used to walk past it to go to the larger ones but after deciding to give it a try was pleasantly surprised. To begin with everything felt cleaner than the competitors just like Australia used to be. Then came my cheese & tomato toastie. Delicious sourdough, good quality cheese & the right portion of tomato. Nice coffee too. Sadly, on my most recent visit, the cafe did not live up to standard probably bc the owners were away. Hopefully it will be business as usual when they return.
