Quarry St Cafe, Ultimo

Well “that place next door I should’ve gone” didn’t turn out to be as good as it looked. The stuff in the cabinet looked a bit more special than your usual cafe fare (I think I remember a katsu burger or something) but it didn’t look especially fresh or appetizing. So, just like its average neighbour, I didn’t hold especially […]

B’n’G, Ultimo

Buy ‘N’ Large 🎵 Sorry, I can’t help but think of Wall-E. And as I approached this little corner cafe, my mind must’ve been elsewhere or I would’ve stopped into the place next door instead. The stuff in the glass cabinet did not look fantastic, and despite its sunny location and nice urban wall art, the cafe itself didn’t look […]

Campos, Newtown

This is a place where ordering a flat white would be a travesty, but it’d be the best damn travesty you’d ever had. At Campos, you order an espresso, sit and sip and discuss detailed tasting notes. I love their nitro cold brew. I also find it hard to resist an afternoon macchiato. But whatever you order, it needs to […]

One Another, Newtown ⭐

It’s my birthday! Where to? One Another. No hesitation, this is my favourite cafe right now. For my birthday breakfast, I ordered a burrata with blood orange, marinated kumquats and roast macadamias doused in Grand Marnier. The burrata oozed out like a poached egg. That’s what I’m talking about. But I’m meant to be talking about coffee and BB.Like my […]

Hollis Park Cafe, Newtown

I remember this place used to be run by a French guy who was a really charismatic part of the community. And man, did he serve good food and coffee. French toast to die for… I think, or maybe I’m just remembering a racial stereoptype. To the new management’s credit, the menu looks more-or less the same and they do […]

Dr Earth Cafe, Newtown

This is my favourite place to come for lots of things, but coffee is not one of them. I love their shakes, loaded with all sorts of amazing things from peanut butter gloopy glory to green goddess vitaminy heaven. I love their healthy approach to sweet treats, with little vegan this and thats, zero added sugars and other appealing attributes […]
