At some point you need superior coffee to kick start the day. Period. To be honest, the choice is enormous. But when you what one of the best brews in town, head to Surry Hills, down near Central Station.Wait for a sidewalk table - service won't be long - and watch us city commuters get our caffeine fix and file off to work. Whatever your preference - espresso, ristretto, machhiato or cappuccino - carefully sourced beans (all sustainably grown), patiently roasted and expertly dispensed by professional baristas means any Single Origin coffee will be as good as it gets.
The impetus for Single Origin came when four friends sought to source their own green bean, roast them, and now they sell wholesale as well as in-house.
The breakfast menu is simple, but outstanding, like the coffee. I always have the organic sourdough toast with house-made ricotta, sliced banana (slightly warmed) and topped with honey, while Ms Sydney always opts for the four cheese toastie. We're creatures of habit. But what a divine habit.
Lunch is equally appealing: think coconut lime kingfish tartar with betel leaves or braised Hawkesbury cuttlefish, chickpeas and peppers. Like I said, at some point, you need to treat yourself, and when it comes to that special breakfast or luncheon cafe with coffee, Single Origin sets the standard.
