Aroma cafe. Shop A1, 5-9 Belgrave St, Kogarah. It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to check out a new cafe in Kogarah. This one – on a corner – has a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, and a big amount of the indoor space taken up with the counter and coffee …

Lamitte cafe and restaurant, Sydney CBD
Vittoria coffee. 24-28 Campbell St, Sydney CBD. Split-level interior with seating for around 100 between inside and out. Licenced to sell beer, as well as a range of food. No decaf grinder. Coffee is smooth, ready-to-drink temperature, and a little sweet. Surprisingly good.
Central cafe and bar, haymarket
Dimattina coffee. Shop 2, 18 Lee St, Sydney. With a high ceiling, (split level in places), this licenced place offers live jazz music on Friday nights. In the evenings, it’s a bar, but in the mornings, there’s an elaborate (if pricey) breakfast menu. Service is variable, but largely depends on staff levels and how busy …
St Moritz chocolate lounge, cafe bar darling harbour
Campos coffee. Shop 109/2 Darling Drive, Habourside Shopping Centre. This is an upmarket place – a large decaf latte and some vegemite toast goes for $9.50 – but the quality is certainly there. If you’re looking for a place in Darling Harbour to escape the filter coffee that so often goes with conferences, then this …

Terakaza cafe, Pyrmont
Danes coffee. 252/243 Pyrmont St, Pyrmont. You’ll only find this place if you’re taking a pedestrian overpass from harbourside back towards Harris St: I chanced upon it one day, and – seeing the Danes sign – logged it away for future reference. Though it doesn’t have much in the way of natural light to recommend …
Bourke Street Bakery, Alexandria
Aroma coffee. 474 Gardeners Rd, Alexandria. Trendy looking bakery – there’s one in Surry Hills that I’ve been to (but not reviewed, it seems) and it seems a couple of others. Their work is of a really high standard, too. Desserts: – flourless chocolate cake, lemon meringue tart, chocolate mousse and raspberry tart. There’s seating …
french toast, bardwell park
Coffee Roaster coffee. 14 Hartill Law Ave, Bardwell Park. I heard about this place from twitter when it first opened, and so I made a particular journey to check it out. It’s incredibly close to the train station, and yet seems to have really high standards for food and coffee. The owner remained on the …
Klink, Sydney CBD
Golden Cobra coffee. 281 Clarence St, Sydney. Takes its name from the history of the building – an old police station. What used to be the offices of IMG at the turn of the century has been transformed into a little design arcade, gaffa gallery and cafe. It’s a little gem of a space for …
The Falconer, Surry Hills
Golden Cobra coffee (Timothy Dalton blend decaf). 31 Oxford St, Surry Hills. How many times have I walked past here and not noticed it?! Walk in past the licenced bar and coffee machine and your seating choice is green vinyl clad booths – if you prefer, there are a couple of ordinary tables at the …
Store Espresso, Camperdown
Euroblend coffee. 17 Fowler St, Camperdown. Old general store, converted into a beautiful cafe space. Light timber touches. Fresh flowers on the table. Soft music piped in, and a lovely display of product on the shelves. It’s the little touches that make a difference – the wallpaper has real character. Mains around $10, biscotti around …
