Centred with an ethos around grace, thankfulness and gratitude, how could one possible go wrong with incredible and ethically sourced coffee from the best? It's quiet, peaceful, green and purposeful inside. Vegan and vegetarian options galore account for the good vibes of the owners and their customers - it's just a wonderful place to be. If you're visiting somewhere in Surry Hills and looking for an independent, feel-good experience, this is the ONE.

The BEST one in Surry Hills. Big and fresh and serving Brickfields bread: oh happy day. Coffee was impeccable and brunch was even better. There's even a cinema next door. Great service, quick food and an all-round happy experience. Order:Small Almond Latte - 10/10 Cafe score: 10/10 Website:Paramount Coffee Sydney Instagram:@paramountcoffeesydney Date Visited:
This is another fave: it's ethical and fresh. Good baristas who actually know how to make a cup and a funky interior to match. The space is in a cul-de-sac so it's super quiet - they're even welcoming of pooches! The record wall (and entire interior to be fair) is also excellent. GO. GO. GO.

More of an eatery than a small eclectic cafe, this place has a menu that health foodies could only dream of. It's wholefoods, raw, organic, vegan, gluten-free, wholesome etc. etc. Almond Turmeric on point!

Old Pub vibes with exposed timber and brick, super funky! Great coffee and a nice looking menu too! Quite close to Central Station. Order: Small Almond Latte - 10/10 Cafe score: 10/10 Instagram: @blacksmithspecialtycoffee Date Visited:
This is an OG of Surry Hills with the quickest service, out-the-back seating and a some seriously good coffee (probably because they're also roasters). Very minimalist but the brunch menu is stunning. Would seriously recommend to anyone who loves a chilled but a little -extra- Saturday morning brunch with friends. It's centrally located and very reliable. Order:Small Almond Latte - 10/10 Cafe score: 10/10 Website:Reuben Hills Surry Hills Instagram:@reubenhills Date Visited:
Greeted with "Bella" this cafe had me instantly in love. Also a wine bar after dark, these guys know their drinks, and are completely across coffee. Their menu has an array of Italian inspired breakfast food, pastas, fish and baked goods - very versatile and a fab little outdoor seating area too.

This is a tiny little "coffee bar" in one of the backstreets of Surry Hills, about a 10min walk from Central. It's cute, with fresh pastries daily and a good find if you work within walking distance of Surry Hills and need your sip to go.
