Best place to buy coffee in Sydney. That's all they do, just coffee, stock up on beans freshly roasted on the premises. Often a queue out the door for coffee on a saturday morning. Worth the wait.

Great cafe, vegetarian food (but that is secondary to the fact that the food is fab, you wouldn't notice even if you were a meat lover)!) Beautifully considered hand made pasta. Amazing pastries. Coffee is great. Would have to be my favourite cafe in Sydney. Open for dinner on a thursday and friday night. 15 minute walk, but you can short cut through Marrickville Park and then Henson Park.
