Campos Coffee. 79 Regent St, Chippendale. This place is a re-invention of “The Angry Fix” – the wifi network still bears that name. Look inside, and a lot has changed. There’s less seating, but a larger kitchen area, and the menu has expanded accordingly. A welcome addition is a decaf grinder, and their decaf is […]

something for jess, chippendale
Five Senses coffee. 27 Abercrombie St, Chippendale. A coworker put me onto this place – I think I’d walked past and not noticed it at all (there’s not much of a street presence), but it’s worth seeking out. The cafe is filled with furniture sourced from the surrounding area – there’s lots of furniture to […]
silver spoon, chippendale
Toby’s Estate Coffee. 15 Meagher St, Chippendale. I’ve walked past this place any number of times and in the past I think it’s been a catering-only business. More recently I’d noticed the Toby’s sign, and a small number of seats, and thought I’d have a closer look. Inside, it’s a great use of space, small […]
the house specialty coffee, chippendale
House coffee. 9 Knox St, Chippendale. A friend at work mentioned this blink-and-you’ll-miss it corner cafe, in the streets of Chippendale. Step inside and you’ll find yourself remarkably tall compared to the two staff! This is because of the odd layout of the space: there are a number of steps down from street level to […]
Benitos’ Cafe, Chippendale
Campos Coffee. 112-116 Broadway, Chippendale. In what was a car detailing place there’s now a cafe, and a new co-op bookshop. There’s a wide choice of sweets and pastries, and a choice of indoor or outdoor seating. Coffee is well-made – yet another Campos venue that’s churning out good work. View Larger Map
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 […]
Loading Dock Cafe, Chippendale
Hernandez coffee. O’connor st, near abercrombie st. Literally situated in the loading dock of a furniture place, this is the most creativeuse of space I’ve seen in a long while. Clear spoken staff, up for a chat. Early days, so the decaf is admittedly lacklustre, but the caffeinated coffee is ground to order, is rich […]
The Leafy cafe, Chippendale
Vittoria coffee. Shop 2, 12-26 Regent St, Chippendale. Despite an unimpressive exterior, the inside of this place is really pleasant. Complimentary newspaper to read while you’re there, cheery furniture and smiling staff. The coffee is served a little too hot for my liking, but when it cools, it’s a reasonable decaf latte. I’d say the […]
Cafe Giulia, Chippendale
Coffee Roaster Coffee. 92 Abercrombie St, Chippendale. Don’t be fooled by the relatively small street frontage – this cafe is one of the larger ones in the area. One of the largest blackboard menus I’ve seen in a cafe, filled with details and enthusiasm for the variety of dishes on offer. It’s a little pricey, […]
Bar Mattino, Chippendale
Vittoria coffee. 96 Abercrombie St, Chippendale. Busy at lunchtime with a mix of suits and designers, this place has a bustling kitchen, and borderline restaurant menu, with prices to match. Even the takeaway menu is on the expensive side. I’m here toward the end of the lunchtime rush, and the coffee seems slow on its […]
