Four Brothers Espresso — Restaurant in Sydney

Terrific coffee, and only a few minutes' stroll from my house!

I went here out of desperation: I was out of coffee beans for home, and - no longer living close to the earth-shatteringly good Coffee Alchemy - I gave it a shot.

I'm so glad I did. Two (of the four?) brothers have been running a small coffee shop here since August 2013. It's a fairly ordinary, quiet cafe if you want to sit in, or at their outside tables, to enjoy a coffee. But I bought a 250g bag of their beans (they roast them at a roastery up in French's Forest) and took them home; it was a bit steep at $14.

I have since been buying 1kg bags of whole beans. These work out to be 40% cheaper than buying 250g, so if you make a lot of coffee at home (I do) or have vacuum-sealed containers for the beans (I do) then it's definitely worth it.

The blended iced coffee was also amazing and definitely something to die for. However, I did feel that the customer service could have been better. The staff seemed a bit disinterested and not very attentive to the customers. Despite this, the food and drinks were so good that I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast or brunch. Just be prepared for the possibility of less than stellar...

For brothers is my local cafe. We moved here about six months ago, and to say I am fussy about my coffee is an understatement as a small business owner in a very competitive market. I truly appreciate attention to detail and doing the simple things brilliantly every single time every, staff members, every coffee, every time is an absolute treat. There is no better way to...
