    Today I drank an espresso made with a Bolivian single origin bean, followed by a piccolo using a Sulawesi Toraja. Both were great, as usual.

    This is all about "coffee" if your looking for a decadent cup this is it. Admittedly I did want some breakfast as well but nothing available but lets not take away the fact it's all about the coffee! My flat white was very well balanced with great sweet fruity notes and a gentle acidity cutting... Read more

    A cafe that lives up to its name. I've managed to drop by during my short trip to Sydney to have a latte. A really balance taste of coffee to my liking. The environment not really to pleasing due to limited seats, but hey, it's all about the coffee!

    After traveling overseas.....I have now realized that Australia is the worlds best at coffee, and for me Alchemy is the best, although I havn't tried them all but I'm working on it.... Coffee here is the best !.

    The usual great coffees this morning, flat white was full of characters, nuts chocolate and just the right amount of acidity. Single origin espresso was equally stellar! Sumatra has this funky dark fruit aromatic which was fantastically different!

    Ten out of ten everytime for this cafe....I only ever get a takeaway coffee and to be honest the only negative and I mean the only negative for this place is the seating area. it is not really a cafe you would casually sit in and enjoy a coffee on a Lazy sunday morning.

    Whilst up in Sydney I recently, I got the chance to finally try the coffee! After numerous recommendations from people I respect, sadly I have to say that my double espresso ran way too fast! It was overly blonde and ran at a volume to time ratio of what I guessed was 60mls in 17 seconds. Fine... Read more

    Never fails to deliver on coffee. A quiet kickback little cafe that always serves amazing coffee, although would be good if they offered some kind of food to go with their coffee. Non the less one of the best in Sydney.

    stopped in here with a mate who uses Hazels coffee, got a little bit of a tour!!!
    whoa, beyond those curtains and door to the warehouse next door is pure OCD. the reason Hazel has the best coffee is that she is completely bonkers for it, there was so much going on i was floored. and yes the... Read more

    I found heaven. It's smaller than I expected, low on the glitz'n'glam, and it's stuck in a non-descript building in Marrickville. But it's heaven alright, and God-shots abound.

    As you walk into this place, you're stuck by.... the counter. Well, not quite, but the place IS small. No... Read more

    Took a detour on the long weekend and it was hands down best coffee I have ever had. First piccolo was sublime, textured perfectly and citrusy bright. Second piccolo was just as magical but dark chocolate-ly This is what coffee is all about. Amazeballs.

    selling coffee and beans and nothing else
    the columbian geisha long black was marvellous, easily one of the best long black I ever had
    pour over wasn't that good though partly because the bean was fresh but also because the barista didn't paid much attention to it

    The coffee is outstanding and the Barista team very friendly. This is slightly let down by the lack of personality of the service guy though!
    The milk is Procal which kills me. Why oh why, it over-sweetens the milk and for me personally affects the flavours of the exceptionally well roasted,... Read more
