D.O.M Coffee. Shop 1 Riverwood Train Station, Belmore Rd, Riverwood. A difficult space to work with, much less make into a welcoming, homey space: this is an achievement. You can see their commitment to the environment in their choice of bio cups, and there are a range of different roasted coffee blends on display. There’s …

Revolver Cafe, Annandale
Morgan’s coffee. 291 Annandale St, Annandale. I’ve been to Annandale a few times, and so when I looked up this place on my list of “cafes to visit one day”, I was surprised that I’d never seen it before. Arrive there, and you’ll realise that this is the only retailer for a reasonable stretch in …
Insieme cafe, Ultimo
Caffe Aiello coffee. Shop 1, 513-519 Wattle St, Ultimo. This is one of the more upmarket places to eat in the Ultimo area, and so it’s not until a suitable occasion arises that I have the chance to check it out. No decaf grinder: the decaf is pre-ground and stored in an airtight container. The …
Second Cup cafe, Haymarket
Primo coffee. Market City, Haymarket. I’ve walked past this place a few times: it doesn’t look like a spot for takeaway coffee – indeed, the barista asks me if I’d like to have a table. Make your way to the back of the cafe, and the counter is there – there’s no decaf grinder. The …
ABC A One Cafe, Ultimo
Mocha decaf coffee. (also, glinelli, toby’s estate, vittoria and campos coffee for those drinking the caffeinated variety). Inside the ABC building, 700 Harris St, Ultimo. Often when I mention this place, people assume they would need to sign into the building to get here. This is not the case! You can just walk in off …
cuppa coffee, sylvania
Cuppacoffee coffee. 55 Princes Hwy, Sylvania. I think this was the last place I would have expected to find a coffee roastery. Showing up on a search on the bean hunter iPhone app, I was saddened to find that they’re not open on Sundays, and had to wait a number of weeks before I could …
Buppa’s Bakehouse, Newtown
Euroblend Coffee. 482 King St, Newtown. Noteworthy for its range of American-styled baked goods, this place comes recommended by a friend. Indeed, their cooking is very good, and the availability of American chocolates is an excellent touch. I wasn’t such a fan of their decaf (no decaf grinder): though certainly drinkable, it was a little …
Duke’s Lounge, Randwick
Numero Uno Coffee. 153 Avoca St, Randwick. Heard about this place in the midst of my 30 cafes in 30 days of June challenge, but didn’t manage to make a trip over to Randwick. Indeed, if you’re looking to drive to this part of the world, it’s best to allow some extra time to find …
Espresso King, Sydney CBD
Toby’s Estate coffee. 627 George St, Sydney. Tiny doesn’t quite do justice to this space. Once the cake fridge, and the bench with the espresso machine is taken into consideration, there’s seating for three people at a bench against the wall. Even so, they’ve made the best of it, and with a combination of consistent …
Ye Olde, Bicycle Shop, Bundanoon
Lavazza coffee. 11 Church St, Bundanoon. Disappointingly, there’s no Vodafone coverage in all of the town, which slowed down my progress on blogging this one. Part bicycle shop, but mostly cafe, this is a place where you can hire a bike to ride in the nearby Morton national park. There’s some effort made to accommodate …
