Description

This tiny cafe in Surry Hills is a popular spot among locals working in the area. With only about 10 seats, half of which are outside, the space is cozy but stylish. The coffee is decent, though not necessarily remarkable. However, the real highlight is the specialty cakes, such as the caramel disk with hazelnut chocolate. The cafe is known for its focus on great coffee, with a barista who confidently claims to make the best piccolo in town. The atmosphere is described as small and cozy, making it a great spot to enjoy a long black while listening to some vinyl. Overall, visitors appreciate the refined blends and quality service at this coffee roaster/cafe, making it a standout choice in Sydney's competitive coffee scene.

Barista said “I’ll make the best piccolo for you!”Have a sit and you will enjoy the coffee.He is not wrong at all!I did enjoy my afternoon piccolo that served with Jersey milk, which for me has a creamier and more bodied compare to normal milk.It cost you

It was International Coffee Day and what better way to start the day then to ‘sample’ some of the best coffees in Sydney. One of my stops included a visit to this coffee roaster/cafe. It’s a small venue with a few tables set up outside. I opted to have my usual of a Mocha. It was definitely my favourite of the day. A really refined blend and a good mixture of coffee and chocolate without being too overly sweet or too bitter. Great service too and very much enjoyed my break here.
