Un-clever title aside, this is really an ode to coffee culture in Sydney. The city is jam-packed with top notch little cafes, from lazy Sunday sidewalk ones with barely enough room for 5 people to sleek, design accented urban chill zones. Seriously, for every Gloria Jean’s or Starbucks, there’s a wayyy better non-chain cafe which roasts their own coffee and takes latte decoration to the artisanal level. Plus you can also have some excellent munchies to go with it as well.

One of my fave things to do is to pop into a cafe on the weekend, knockback a coupla shots of black fuel and relax. I also love the fact that you can get pretty much any kind of coffee wherever you go since there are superb cafes everywhere. More than just Aussie staple flat whites, lattes and caps, the cafes here also do more lesser known styles like ristrettos and piccolos. Affogattos are a personal favourite of mine. Intense expresso balanced superbly by a sweet scoop of Vanilla ice cream. Ahhh…
