SoBo

Great place I use regularly..so convenient...Great staff ..there for years...like your neighbourhood shop...Marco always so kind and positive..

I asked for a mint tea and the man who works here tried to give me a liquorice and mint tea. When I asked if it was plain peppermint he said "it's a good one." I had to check the label as I knew it did not look like pure mint tea. Respectfully, liquorice is quite a strong taste and I did not want liquorice tea but I felt he was trying to get away with selling it to me. He also handled the teabag with his bare hands, which I found unhygienic.

Tucked away on the southbound platform at Pearse DART station, Sobo is a little coffee shop with an old-school coffee machine that caught my eye during the morning rush. I grabbed a flat white on the go, but honestly, it wasn’t the best – a bit underwhelming in taste. Surprisingly, they also sell a few travel essentials like snacks, drinks, and even last-minute items I wouldn’t expect to find at a train station kiosk. It’s clearly designed for commuters – opens early and seems to run until late. Prices are surprisingly reasonable considering it’s in a busy train station – not overpriced at all. While it’s definitely a quick stop (no seating, grab-and-go), it’s still handy for anyone catching the train or passing through

I love this place but the respectfully the lady who mans the place occasionally in the morning cannot make coffee. She burns it every time I get it from her and the cup is half full. Please teach her how to make correctly!

Was with my dad today and he ordered his usual - a decaf late here...unfortunately he had to hand it back to the barrista as it tasted really bad. Baristta told him to have a regular cappuccino then instead 😬 No offer of another decaf or money back. Not great service.
