elatte cafe, padstow heights

Allpress Espresso. 101 Villiers Rd, Padstow Heights. After a long time searching the green train line in Sydney for promising cafes, I’d all but given up finding anything that was putting forward a quality cup of coffee. I’d noticed a sign on Henry Lawson Drive that mentioned the cafe, and thought I’d try it out. […]

The Little Queen cafe, Chippendale

Allpress coffee. 28-30 Queen St, Chippendale. With windows at street level, it’s down a few stairs to the main space, which seats about 20. Fresh flowers on the communal table separate out the space a little, and underneath there are a wide range of magazines and newspapers to wade through. Most of the space has […]

Cafe 407, Surry Hills

Allpress coffee. 407 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills. I noticed people walking around nearby with Allpress cups, and was pleasantly surprised to work out the source. Oddly, there’s nothing outside the cafe to suggest such a high-quality coffee is made here. Inside, this place feels like an old fish-and-chip shop’s fittings have been given some paint […]

My Cuppa, Ultimo

Allpress Coffee. 769 Harris St, Ultimo. I spotted an Allpress cup on a desk at UTS, and asked “Where can I find it”. The answer was “around the corner from campus”, and indeed, only a short walk from the UTS Broadway campus is this place. With a bare street presence, it’s an easy one to […]

Red Hook on Park, Sydney CBD

Allpress Espresso coffee. 60 Park St, Sydney (opposite Starbucks). It might be considered brave to set up a cafe across the road from the first Starbucks in Sydney, but this place doesn’t seem worried. Modern design with lots of straight lines and a repetitive dance beat, and an interior colour palette that it mostly black […]

Brasserie Bread, Banksmeadow

brasserie bread, banksmeadow Allpress coffee. 1737 botany rd banksmeadow. It’s a long walk past the bread counter, all the way to the espresso bench in this bakery / café. Seating almost 50 in a modern, refurbished warehouse space, there’s a window into the bakery proper where a superb array of breads are created monday to […]

Stir café, balmain

Stir café, balmain Allpress espresso coffee. 354 darling st, balmain. A green colourbond fence surrounds a paved courtyard with its funky wooden chairs, and black-painted wooden tables. Staf are friendly, they even come to the table and pour your water for you, with a slice of lemon in the glass: above the call of duty. […]

Quikfix coffee, sydney domestic terminal 2

Quikfix coffee, sydney domestic terminal 2 Allpress coffee. Fast moving order process here: grind to order, helpful staff. Overlooks the tarmac. Sells food, coffee beans, and snacks. Coffee is quite good. Hot, but not too hot, just the right texture. A good find as you race to your flight.

Le monde café, surry hills

Le monde café, surry hills UPDATE (4-Jun-10): I’ve revisited this cafe. Allpress coffee. 83 foveaux st, surry hills. Cheerful french style accordion music is regularly drowned out by the sound of beans being ground, and coffee being made. The aesthetic is dark wood, even lining the walls up to the high ceilings, and though the […]

Grumpy baker, waverton

Grumpy baker, waverton Allpress coffee. A combination of bakery, gourmet food shop and café, this friendly place even has a space in the back for kids to play. The music – classic hits – is a little loud for ambience, but it distracts nicely from the sound of traffic. Wide range of lunch options: sandwiches […]
