Mecca Espresso
Great coffee and friendly people. It’s best to avoid the corporate rush first thing in the morning but be warned, they close early (15:30).
Outstanding espresso and less crowded than King St Mecca. Get your suit on though, it’s a bit of a corporate crowd.
Great coffee, strong (just how I like it) but can get pretty packed throughout the day. Despite this they still manage to get the coffee out within a few minutes!
Best coffee in Sydney City hands down. As others have already said, always consistent, always friendly and always quick - impressive considering the size of the crowds you can find here morning and afternoon. An afternoon hot salami pannini with a Double Ristretto Picolo Latte is highly recommended.
Simply the best coffee in Sydney. The morning rush is huge but these guys are so ridiculously efficient, your wait is at most 5-10mins.
I tend to go down for an early afternoon piccolo latte which is always incredible and a lot more relaxed.
The guys here are friendly and always up for a joke and a chat if they aren’t slammed with customers.
The sandwiches and croissants here are also of a consistently high quality.
Probably one of, if not the, best most consistent coffee in Sydney. Whilst I probably wouldn’t recommend going there in the morning rush, any other time you get fantastic service and a great cup of coffee. The outdoor seating is also a great meeting venue.
Delicious coffee, panini & chinotto. Excellent place for a quick morning pit stop.
Had a delicious double-espresso from this hole-in-the-wall.

Friendly staff who are clearly passionate about coffee. Order the single origin beans, they’re worth the extra dollar.

Had a well crafted double espresso from Ethiopian Yirgacheffe beans. $4.70 price tag nearly made me choke though, but these guys are a specialty coffee shop in the middle of town, so worth checking out.

Generally crap food, coffee and tourists go hand in hand so I was presently surprised when my flat white turned out not too bad.
