I clearly have not been following coffee trends in Sydney.

We met out friend at Single Origin on Friday morning, pleasent 24 degrees and sunny. Sitting outside and 2 flat whites, each 4/5th filled with a single rosetta arrives. Watching that Japanese barista pull every rosetta with the same intensity as me first attemping to stich up a wound is a reminder that some people are just perfectionists every time. I smile because it was the perfect start to my holiday in Sydney. A few years ago when I visited Sydney, I remeber getting a coffee there on the day I flew out.

Ambience is beautiful. Dark wood benches and tables, some raw; warm down lights; fun flora decorations. If anything a bit ‘Melbourne’? Service good. Though popularity means it’s difficult to get a seat and take aways during rush hours (seems to be always on rush hour) can be long. Coffee was good. An average of 8/10. Their muesli had a good heap of at least 4-5 different fruits on top.

But the problem was where do I go in the CBD during weekends? Single Origin is not open. Mecca is on Saturday accodring to a google search but I didn’t check since the day rained mad. Where can I get decent coffee in the CBD in Sydney?

I waited until Monday to get another cup (plus breakkie). Lucky we stayed with our friend who lives 30 second walk to this oasis of coffee. No, really, I am not addicted to coffee. I just want good coffee and chill and gather thoughts on.
