Swanky’s Espresso Bar
K7 City Centre Mall
Coffs Harbour NSW 2450
AUSTRALIA

Swanky’s, contrary to its implication is a small garden espresso bar turned café offering alfresco dining in the Coffs Harbour mall. The kitchen itself is a small metal kiosk looking out over rather quaint wooden tables, comfortable chairs and well-placed blackboards.
