Izba Espresso - BIRTINYA

Izba Espresso is a fantastic container cafe overlooking the canals at Newport.

This has become my regular weekend coffee haunt. They are very friendly and my coffees have been great. There is a great playground for kids and it has a sheltered outdoor feel. Their food is very good, and occasionally they have special food nights. Tonight they had a Mexican food night which did not disappoint. They did have a glitch with their computer ordering system, which could happen anywhere. However their great team swooped into action to fix our order. I definitely recommend.

Cute little cafe. We'd canoe'd round Kawana lakes. Came up and my partner son and I had a drink each and some food. Reasonably priced, delicious food and the staff are so friendly and polite. Really welcoming. Free wifi..There's even a kids play bit that has a geo cache at the top.

Sign out front states " come in for smiles" but haven't met one yet. As a visitor staying in the area I've visited regularly over the last month. I've found the staff unfriendly with poor customer service. The coffee is tasteless & weak, really just warm milk in a cup. The service is so slow I've been tempted to cancel my order. I used a coffee card and my order always included a baby chino ( at an exorbitant $2) but when I received my free coffee there was no offer of a free baby chino. I was tempted to argue the case but the staff are so grim I didn't dare. They rely too much on the captive audience provided with the workers from the new housing development and need to truly up their game to achieve full potential and become a neighborhood destination.

I have been to this place several times. Great playground for kids and nice atmosphere. Staff very hot and cold the last time we were there near closing and heard the staff say "Good bye and **** off" under there breath but loud enough for me to hear, to an elderly couple as they were leaving. Had a glass of wine and a beer (served in a plastic glass) overall pretty average. Would not go back
