Six Seven Ate, Chippendale
Allpress coffee. 67 Abercrombie St, Chippendale. Take a tiled kitchen, and put a café in the front of it, and you have this place. I’m not saying the kitchen is out back, but rather that the café’s seating is in its kitchen. Staff are friendly, and always working on something. Coffee is made in front …
Chill cafe / restaurant, Newtown
Schibello coffee. 475 king st. With no discernable signage, this caught my eye – a place I’d never seen before. This place seems to be the master of the fry up; i’ve never seen lambs fry on offer as part of a breakfast special! For the less adventurous, all the usual bacon, sausages and eggs …

Café manhattan, York St Sydney
Café manhattan, york st sydney Piazza d’oro coffee. Apart from the 1920’s font on the signage, there’s little to draw attention to this place. The seating – indoor and outdoor – is fairly spacious; table service is an option, but it seems that the takeaway crowd account for most of its trade: there’s plenty of …
