Mecca Espresso
Finally made my way here. Enjoyed their aeropress brews, as well as a few flat whites over a few days. The staff I encountered were friendly. Not somewhere that you can do much relaxing at.
Try the clover and you’ll think twice about turning your nose up at filtered coffee.
Sorry. Twice visited and twice experienced bad coffee. No crema. Noisy. Poor service. Blech.
I had a very decent takeaway espresso. It was however at late in the day and they looked flabbergasted at the seemingly never ending queue that was preventing them from closing. Victims of their own success I guess.
Best Espresso I’ve found in Sydney. Having said that, it’s a super busy cafe. If you’d like to sit down and relax, try the Mecca Espresso in Circular Quay.
Mecca are absolutely top rate, fantastic coffee day after day. They can get busy but with multiple baristas on duty during rush times you rarely need to wait more than a couple of minutes - and it’s worth the wait.
Some of the best coffee in the Sydney CBD. I find it tough to choose for a morning coffee as the queue gets huge. Still if you’ve got an extra couple of minutes it’s worth the wait.

I had a sneaky little take away espresso here, and it was pretty good. Not yet likely to put Mecca out of business, but good enough if you don’t have enough time to wait in line for the primo stuff.

“I like coffee, I like tea, I LOVE the coffee Ben and Maddie make for me!”. It’s the best way to start the morning with friendly service with a smile, and a good blend of coffee made exactly how I want it. Everyone I’ve referred has not been disappoin…

A solid espresso with Mecca beans, but some of the worst service I think I’ve ever experienced in any cafe ever. I’d recommend strictly takeaway only.

The coffee is always good but the service is so slow it’s really not worth it

Food’s good (try the thai salad) but the coffee’s terrible. Rating this one according to the coffee only!

Reasonable doppio espresso, fairly brusque service. Full of suits.
