Unbelievably good service and vibes. We stopped for a drink after work and couldn't leave. Both the wine and food that were suggested by the staff were a perfect match.

Sitting here on a Monday afternoon enjoying a smooth, tasty cup of coffee and having a chat with the bloke working - super chill and enjoyable experience. Lovely open shopfront that lets in the breeze as well as plenty of natural light. Great little find in Surry Hills

One of my favourite places for coffee in Surry Hills, consistent quality and flavourful. If you are having your drink there, the cups are also really nice.

These guys nailed it. Spectacular coffee. They have Little Marrionette coffee. Some nice filter options also. The latte art is pretty damn fine. The coffee was also very tasty. There are some nice treats available in the fridge and some pastries and jaffles that are pretty rad. The fit out is very slick also. Good place to sit out the front for a meeting or just chill with your coffee. I always appreciate a good sound system in a cafe also. Nice work. I reccomend .
