I was in the city and booted up the app to help me find some coffee.

This place is serious about coffee, but I wasn't that pleased. The staff were as expected. The atmosphere was a little cold. More could be done there.

The best coffee I've had in the city. Surprised by how good the coffee was. Highly recommend.

The service was quick and efficient.

The place was lacking in atmosphere. Despite it being cold and wet out, there was no-one else inside. The counter separates the staff from... Read more

This roastery and cafe is a very special place. The people who work there really know their coffee and things to do with coffee. I enjoyed a beautiful flat white. I would certainly recommend people go there. It is a real gem.

The designer blend which they serve, won a Sydney Royal... Read more

An oasis in the middle of Sydney—great selection of food and drinks. Friendly staff. My cold drip brew was one of the best I've ever had: very intense, yet smooth. A recommended spot.

I absolutely love this place; I think it's about the total attention to detail in each coffee. The execution reminds me of London's 'Prufrock', where you just get the exact same result (in the best way) every time, and it's amazing to have somewhere so reliable in the heart of city.

Love this café! My spot, it is!

Staff are friendly and always have smiles on their faces.

The commitment to quality coffee here is right up there. From the ristrettos, espressos and long blacks, to the Swiss gold filter; it's made impeccably every time!

Service is exceptional here. Actually interested in each customer and treat you in a way that makes you want to return.

Had a sit-down macchiato which they serve with immaculate presentation on a slim rectangular plate with a mini glass of still water (see images).

Very friendly staff and a really great vibe. The roaster at the front door is very cool and the coffee was excellent. I have a new job a couple of doors down. I know where I\'ll be coming for coffee during the week!

Highly impressed. By the service and interest shown in how my colleagues macchiato was made. My long black was pretty good too. All the paraphernalia, especially the roaster at the front door. Just adds to the experience

Vella Nero a 'good' cafe in the centre of Sydney CBD? I had my doubts confirmed. Did they AIM to be a 'good' cafe?....i dont think so. I suspect when the owners got together and started planning this cafe i think they had one goal in mind. To either educate or impress the caffeine hounds of... Read more

Quite impressed with this place. Their self-roasted beans taste really nice. Friendly staff, stylish workshop-type feel to the decor. Greeted with a roasting machine in the entrance, you know they're serious about their beans. Bought some of their blend for my home machine, they go down a treat.... Read more

Brilliant coffee, best service in the CBD. The milk coffees are incredibly rich and strong, but in no way bitter.

Everyone is so friendly, and they obviously love what they do. They even helped me find a coffee machine for my home.

If you love black coffee and you're in the city you MUST come here.

Try the double ristretto (made by Ryan if you can) it is to live for!

The cold drip filter is also v v good.

Food wise I recommend the salmon egg wrap, Italian and Cajun chicken... Read more

Great coffee. Only issue is that there is no table service, so it is inconvenient to queue up to order another.
