Skittle Lane — Restaurant in Sydney

Sydney CBD was still sleeping when I entered SKITTLE LANE at 7:30 o’clock in the morning. I loved the minimalistic interior design. From the outside you can spot immediately the massive. long black marble bench for the espresso machines and the grinders and a long wooden booth seating with additional wooden stools, made from one piece. The colors matched perfectly, and the textures of the different surfaces of the wood and the marble underlined the craftmanship of specialty coffee.

I ordered my first PICCOLO, an espresso topped with a bit of steamed milk. The barista did a fantastic job. He textured and poured the milked well and I truly enjoyed the strong coffee flavors cutting through the milk. Their house espresso comes from Colombia – La Falda: Huila; Caturra, Castillo, Colombia, washed.

As you know my drill by now, I also had a filter coffee. Batch brew is commonly available in many cafés throughout Australia, as at Skittle Lane. Therefore, I had another Colombian coffee, this time as a filter roast. It tasted sweet and juicy with a long-lasting lingering finish. I also appreciated the attention to details when it comes to the cup. The surface was smooth, the handle made the cup easy to grab and you could even hold it in both hands: warm and cozy.

Side note: one additional, tiny little detail: the toilet has an interesting system to save water. Once you flush the toilet, you can use the water running into the toilet to wash your hands. That is a cool feature to be more...

The best coffee in Sydney (likely australia/world). This Skittle Lane serves incredible coffee day in and day out - I was lucky enough to work right next door and my oat caps were always perfection - which is rarely the case elsewhere. The team here is always warm and welcoming - shoutout to Nat for being so friendly and kind, having someone remember your name, order and actually ask you how you are today is just so special. People do say the coffee is on the expensive side - it is priced a little higher than nearby options BUT the coffee is 1000% worth it and they do have a loyalty card where you get a free coffee every 10, which really puts the average coffee price down to below the nearby spots. 10/10 would recommend this coffee spot - I’ve loved...

Good coffee place in the cbd. Quiet place as it’s a little bit hidden between office buildings. I came in quite late in the afternoon and the cafe was packed with customers. Simplistic and minimal decor but aesthetic. However their coffee is quite average compared to my taste. I ordered a cold brew and a latte for takeaway. The latte milk froth was a tad bit hot at first sip. Cold brew was strong enough but had a bitter aftertaste which I didn’t enjoy. I would prefer cold brew with a sour fruity aftertaste. Other than that, service was good. Staff were friendly and payment was contactless so quick and efficient. Service: 5/5 Coffee:...
