Vittoria coffee. Shop 2, 12-26 Regent St, Chippendale. Despite an unimpressive exterior, the inside of this place is really pleasant. Complimentary newspaper to read while you’re there, cheery furniture and smiling staff. The coffee is served a little too hot for my liking, but when it cools, it’s a reasonable decaf latte. I’d say the …

Bar Mattino, Chippendale
Vittoria coffee. 96 Abercrombie St, Chippendale. Busy at lunchtime with a mix of suits and designers, this place has a bustling kitchen, and borderline restaurant menu, with prices to match. Even the takeaway menu is on the expensive side. I’m here toward the end of the lunchtime rush, and the coffee seems slow on its …
Sienna on Forest, Lugarno
Vittoria coffee. 1/1012 Forest Rd, Lugarno. An unusual approach to seating layout: the covered outdoor section of this cafe is the main seating area, and the shop proper is for staff, and storage. Inside has a sense of history to it: there are some older pieces of furniture, and some big glass jars giving a …
Bar Veloce, Burwood
Bar Veloce, burwood Vittoria coffee. 15a/127 Burwood Rd, Burwood. Murray Arcade (the arcade between Burwood Rd and Burwood Plaza).

Omni blue, wynyard Vittoria coffee. A sit-down café in a shopping centre, where the staff have a lot of personality: friendly with newcomers and regulars alike. Coffee unreviewed, though their decaf long black is easy enough to drink.
The Old Fish Café, Newtown
The old fish café, newtown Vittoria coffee. 239A King St, Newtown. Known to the locals as “fishcaf”, this tiny shop is an institution.

South, Newtown
South, newtown Vittoria coffee. 232 King St is where to find this somewhat trendy, somewhat overpriced café in the heart of Newtown. Loud-ish hip hop grooves its way across the interior, mostly drowning out the noise of traffic. Somehow, on a fairly still day, there’s a breeze drifting through the café. Out the back is …
