Rotating roasters

Beans we know by name

We visit the roasters quarterly. If we serve it, we've cupped it that month.

Compost goes to a farm in Robertson

Coffee grounds, food scraps. Loaded weekly into Sammy's ute.

Tipping is paid out the next day

Card or cash, every cent. Split equally across the floor and the kitchen.

Best flat white in a ten-kilometre radius. I've done the research. The mushrooms are not optional.

Celia R. · Marrickville

No laptops on weekends is a policy I will defend with my life. This place actually feels like a cafe, not a co-working space.

Tom B. · Newtown

The Honduras El Puente on V60 is worth setting an alarm for. The team know their beans and never make you feel like an idiot for asking.
