Toby’s Estate Coffee. 65A Gloucester Rd, Hurstville. This place – well outside the main shops of Hurstville – has that relaxing lounge room feeling that tends to be absent in the heart of a Westfield. The walls are lined with pictures of various famous places and buildings, enough to provide a talking point for a …

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 …
Nano Espresso, Surry Hills
Nano Espresso Coffee (roasted by toby’s estate). 28 Albion St, Surry Hills. Apart from this sandwich board, I wouldn’t have noticed this place. I saw it on my way to Single Origin roasters, which is only a block away. This is a surprising place to set up a cafe that takes its coffee so seriously …
tipple cafe and bar, Surry Hills
Toby’s Estate Coffee. 26 Chalmers St, Surry HIlls. I read about this place in the Toby’s Estate newsletter, and its proximity to Central station was hard to argue with. A converted (and still functioning) pub, now with additional cafe features. Walk into the pub, or stand on the street to place your order, and sit …
My Caffeine Romance Espresso Bar, Kirrawee
Toby’s Estate coffee. 165 Oak Rd, Kirrawee. Spotted this one on the Toby’s Estate newsletter, and took Puff along for a morning breakfast during the Christmas break. A variety of seating options: tall chairs, regular chairs, even couches – it’s an easy place to be comfortable. It’s a fairly narrow group of menu options for main …

Chicane, Sydney CBD
Toby’s estate coffee. 20 Bond St, Sydney. Really large, licensed restaurant feel indoors, where suited businessmen catch up for lunch and a beer or to split a bottle of wine. If you’re not in the mood for the full experience, an open window provides access to “chicane express” – takeaway coffees and breakfast and lunch …
Cafe Banksia, Sydney CBD
Toby’s Estate coffee. 1 Castlereagh St, Sydney. The last time I was drinking coffee here, it was a Hudson’s Coffee franchise store, but now it’s been remodelled. In the corner, two chesterfields with a coffee table, elsewhere are larger tables and benches with stools: there are a range of options for eating in. They’re selling …
Beanscene, Sydney
Toby’s Estate coffee. Ground floor lobby, 477 Pitt St, Sydney Central. Seating for 16, in a spacious lobby. There’s a big range of sandwiches and cakes to choose from, and no small amount of beans on sale too. The coffee machine is centre stage, with the cheery staff buzzing around behind it. Sadly, the coffee …
Workshop espresso, Sydney CBD
Workshop coffee / Toby’s Estate decaf. Shop RG01A, the Galeries Victoria, 500 George St, Sydney. Not much bigger than a hole in the wall, opposite the town hall side entrance to the QVB, there are two espresso machines and three grinders, and a kitchen out the back. Somehow they have crammed in a bench and …
Kash Cafe, Surry HIlls
Toby’s estate coffee. 424 Elizabeth St, Surry Hills. This little cafe has a slight disadvantage in location: away from the city, and with its street frontage largely hidden from the sight of pedestrians until they’re in front of the cafe. There’s lots to like about it, though: from the varied menus (at the moment, any …
