Best coffee spots in Sydney
Single O
A Surry Hills roastery that's been leading Sydney's coffee scene since 2003. The filter coffee is outstanding and they pioneered the cafe milk concept. The warehouse space has genuine character.
Reuben Hills
A Surry Hills cafe with Central American-inspired food and excellent coffee. The Guatemalan beans are direct-trade and the huevos rancheros are the best brunch dish in the neighbourhood.
Paramount Coffee Project
In Surry Hills with a beautiful fit-out and consistently excellent coffee. They rotate guest roasters alongside their house blend. The ricotta hotcake is a signature brunch dish.
Artificer Specialty Coffee
A tiny cafe in Surry Hills focused purely on coffee quality. The espresso is dialled in precisely and the baristas are friendly coffee nerds. No food — just world-class coffee.
The Grounds of Alexandria
A destination cafe in a garden setting with a micro-farm, bakery, and roastery. The coffee is good, the pastries are beautiful, and the garden atmosphere is unique. Come on weekdays to avoid the crowds.
Edition Coffee Roasters
A Darlinghurst roastery with exceptional light roasts and a clean, modern space. The Ethiopian natural process is always interesting and the batch brew is a reliable daily cup.
Mecca Coffee
An Alexandria roastery with a huge warehouse space and serious baristas. Their espresso blend is one of Australia's most awarded and the single-origin options are always rotating. Proper coffee nerd territory.
Cafe Paci
A Newtown cafe-restaurant hybrid with Scandinavian-influenced food and excellent coffee. The pastries are baked in-house, the space is minimal and calm, and the flat whites are perfectly textured.
