What can I say about Sydney? If Melbourne gently caresses you, Sydney slaps you in the face, what with its traffic-filled winding roads and relentless sunshine. Anyway, with no further ado, here is the second installment of reviews from my recent trip north:
Pierre’s Patisserie, Turramurra
Nice French pastries, good coffee
Bonjour Patisserie, Railway Ave, Wahroonga
Nice food, coffee below par
Danes Gourmet Coffee, Railway Ave, Wahroonga
Flavour good. Just strong enough.
Café Laurella, Wahroonga
Nice atmosphere, coffee was disappointing
Berkelouw, Norton St, Leichhardt
Quite good café bookshop combo
Bacio, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney
This is good, not great
Fresco, Queen Victoria Building, Sydney
Just how I like it
Espresso Bar, David Jones Food Hall, near Pitt St Mall, Sydney
Good coffee. Needs more seats.
Arc, Circular Quay, Sydney
Notable coffee by the harbour
Campos, Missenden Rd, Newtown
Its stellar reputation is deserved
Urban Bites, 70 King St, Newtown
The coffee here ain’t bad
Cinque, King St (opposite Newtown Mission), Newtown
Good quality coffee is here.
Corelli’s, King St, Newtown
Nice old building. Good coffee.
Ritazza Lounge, Sydney Airport
Reasonable coffee with good views
Quikfix, Sydney Airport
Weak swill. To be avoided.
Bar Ristretto, Sydney Airport
The coffee here ain’t bad.
Loads more reviews here.
UPDATE: I’ve since revised the Quikfix review.

You didnt try some “italian” coffee shop in Leichhardt or Haberfield. There is a really nice one in Ramsay street with super tasty Canoli.

Unfortunately no. As I was only in Sydney for three days, there was undoubtably much that I missed. I visited the city, Newtown and Cronulla, and that was about it.
Some of the above reviews were submitted by family; I couldn’t have gotten to so many cafes by myself.
