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 …

Balmain eating house, Balmain
Balmain eating house, balmain Karmee coffee. Rustic mediterranean décor, upmarket food – almost worthy of tablecloths. Varied mix of balmain people, from the new parents to the retirees. Coffee, not their specialty, is as you would expect from a place that concentrates more on its food. Pleasant enough.
Swerve café, Mosman
Swerve café, mosman Swerve house blend coffee. Has a little of the mosman attitude: there’s a sense of not being quite worthy – perhaps I’m too scruffy this morning. Four front-of-house staff, and a couple more out the back. Coffee, despite two baristas and not too many customers – is a while in coming out. …
Dj interior design café, Leichhardt
Dj interior design café, leichhardt Neoma coffee. A lone sandwich board on Parramatta Rd draws attention to this café, with outdoor seating for 8, and indoor seating for six or so. A range of lunch options, a couple of breakfast menu options, and a few staff buzzing around. Coffee takes a while to arrive, and …
Bravo coffee, stanmore
Bravo coffee, stanmore Bravo coffee. Mostly dedicated to the sale of fresh roasted coffee, but has some seating, and serves a range of coffees. A number of amusing signs adorn the walls. Coffee – a short black – is a little thin, and has a range of other flavours: for some reason, it reminds me …

The croydon café, croydon
The croydon café, croydon Mocha coffee. As close as a shop can get to croydon station, this café has indoor seating for about 15, and outdoor seating, in front, and in a courtyard for another twenty or so. The only café i’ve ever seen with a surcharge for weekends, the staff are friendly, water 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 …
Briciola Ristorante / cafe, Concord
Briciola ristorante / cafe, concord Danesi caffe coffee. In the heart of expensive concord, this café has an Italian theme. Coffee arrives promptly. It’s a drinkable temperature but a little too foamy. I don’t think I’m a fan of this blend. Worth a look for the latte cups.
