About Story
Food at Story
Story is a pastry-and-coffee stop rather than a full kitchen. The display has croissants, pain au chocolat, danishes and stacked cookies, and a mixed berry danish with custard underneath gets a good mention from a recent reviewer. Breakfast is served. A reviewer found the snail pastry better warmed or toasted.
What to order: Mixed berry danish · Matcha · Filter coffee or pour over
Coffee and drinks
Coffee is the main draw. Reviewers call it the best in Lane Cove, praise the matcha as deep and soft rather than too strong, and say the decaf beans are fresh. A Japanese pour over is on the menu for those wanting a lighter, filter-style cup.
