I'm ecstatic that Sydney's Westside
coffee culture is expanding. Even if it's towards Northwest, the fact that
specialty coffee has become more accessible out this way is something to be
excited about. But what's even more exciting is that there's a place called The Tuckshop in Glenhaven that serves
both specialty coffee and CHEESEBURGERS! Y'all know how much I love coffee and
cheeseburgers!
It’s all thanks to Chocolatesuze's cheeseburger radar and guidance of awesomeness, another happy place has been
revealed for everyone to enjoy. The Tuckshop is a specialty coffee shop with a
touch of milk bar brought to us from the team behind The Baron and Nathan Hindmarsh of Parramatta Eels. It has the same
laid back vibe as The Baron but it's milk bar items like burgers and milkshakes
is what that separates this joint from its predecessor.

| Piccolo latte with Single Origin Roaster's Killer Bee blend |
They use Single Origin Roaster's Killer Bee blend for their coffee. I opted
for a piccolo latte ($3.50) and I
was very impressed with the pulled espresso shot to textured milk ratio. The
fruity and toffee notes clearly pierced through the steamed textured milk
without a trace of bitterness. The milk had perfect temperature.
 |
| Malt milkshake and caramel milkshake |
Their milkshakes were like happiness in
liquid form. The malt milkshake ($5)
had a very potent malt flavour that sent my taste buds to malt paradise. The caramel milkshake ($5) was not overly
sweet and had a light texture.

| Southern fried chicken wings in Frank's hot sauce |
We had to order Southern fried chicken wings in Frank's hot sauce ($12) because it's fried chicken! It is
kind of like their version of Buffalo wings but with a twist of aioli as a dip.
The batter had a lot of crunch and the hot sauce gives the wings an amazing tang and
hot kick. The aioli was very addictive.

| Cheesy |
Now, the moment we've been waiting for
and the item I looked forward to the most was the Cheesy ($12). I decided to add an extra patty for $3. It's their take on the classic cheeseburger
with a juicy and flavoursome beef patty, American cheese, ketchup, onion, mustard and
pickles in a soft sweet bun. When I'm not dreaming of ramen, I dream of
cheeseburgers. Not only will I be craving this but I will be dreaming of it
too. That's how superb this cheeseburger was and it totally belongs up there
amongst Sydney's best burgers. It also came with perfectly spiced shoestring
fries.
The top-notch coffee, friendly service
and unforgettable cheeseburger makes The Tuckshop Northwest Sydney's new happy
hangout joint. It is now one of my favourite eating-places to visit and go to
joint for a mind-blowing cheeseburger fix and coffee
