Koffi and kitchen, north sydney Schibello coffee. Indoor, outdoor seating up the hill on Berry Street; in the distance, the pacific highway, but here, it’s quiet. A gentle breeze blows across our downward sloping table. Cheery staff take the order. A generous sized large latte comes out just the right temperature, with a rich creamy …
Passeggio espresso bar Piazza d’oro coffee. More restaurant than café, liquor licenced and all, this place is a haven for suits looking for good food and a glass of wine at lunch time. Coffee is better than I remember it; hot, good consistency, pleasant taste. Map to 121 Walker St, North Sydney
Home.café, glebe Belaroma coffee. A converted terrace house which has really made the most of its space. Indoor, upstairs and backyard seating with some leafy shade.

Craven on lawrence, harbord Danes coffee. Not the cheapest place in sydney, but a really pleasant coffee with a lot of body.

A little hot. …

Bowan island bakery, burwood Toby’s estate coffee. Just above greater union cinema, the soundscape here comes from the nearby clothing stores, and from the piped-in westfiled music. Softly beneath tjese sounds, the footsteps of shoppers are heard. The café seems to do more takeaway business than eat-in, but has seating for about 30 people, if …
Tranquilo cafe Musetti coffee. Overlooking burwood park, with a great breeze moving through the indoor and outdoor seating. Has an adjoining pizzeria, but on the café side, it’s comfortable furnished, with lounge-style seats to sink into. There’s some traffic noise here, and a view of burwood park. Mains are around $17 on the specials board. …
Theodore’s café, penrith Theodore’s special blend coffee. Classic hits play softly on the radio, patrons sit indoors at tables and in booths, overlooking the display of cakes and the espresso machine. The cakes are so tempting that people walk out with cake slices in takeaway containers! Coffee is a good temperature, but the milk is …
