The old man’s hat, glebe Toby’s estate coffee. 197 Glebe Point Rd, Glebe. Something of a new player in the crowded glebe point road space, this cafe’s point of difference is the organic food. A range of menu items, seafood, pasta, as well as sandwiches. The café itself feels like an upmarket loungeroom: soft piano […]

Succulent cafe, Newtown
Succulent café, newtown Barista coffee. 534 King St, Newtown. Massive portions, a wide range of menu items. Staff are friendly – all goths, this visit. Water is brought out without having to request it. A good place for a quiet breakfast. Coffee: unreviewed. The decaf was good, though: they know how to make a good […]
Macro wholefoods café, Concord
Macro wholefoods café, concord Allpress organic coffee. Next to the organic food store is a café with the kind of gluten free menu you’d expect. Surprisingly, there are a couple of organic meat options – it’s not all vegetarian and vegan. The soundscape is mostly the sound of coins hitting the till. The table numbers […]
South, Newtown
South, newtown Vittoria coffee. 232 King St is where to find this somewhat trendy, somewhat overpriced café in the heart of Newtown. Loud-ish hip hop grooves its way across the interior, mostly drowning out the noise of traffic. Somehow, on a fairly still day, there’s a breeze drifting through the café. Out the back is […]
Witham’s coffee, waverton
Witham’s coffee, waverton Witham’s coffee. The smell of burned toast combines with a warm, slightly dark ambience inside, and a range of well-to-do locals outside. Staff are friendly to customers and each other, and a range of somewhat pricey food choices (we are in waverton, after all) compliment a serious range of coffees: this is […]
The Glow café, Newtown
The glow café, newtown Aroma coffee. This is the café I’ve seen for years at the corner of king st and sydney park rd. Inside, it’s pure newtown: lounges, old furniture, even a courtyard with some outdoor seats. Coffee is good, but not great: strong, good texture. Good food choices, an excellent vibe, and water […]
Grind – cronulla
Grind – cronulla This is one of my favourite cafes: amazing atmosphere; excellent coffee. Its tiny size means a small menu: just biscotti, hot and cold drinks, but it’s a great place to pass the time. As the t-shirt slogan says: i’d rather be at grind. Update: they have their own blend of coffee from […]
