Finally a coffee from Toby’s Estate

On Saturday I had a tasty breakfast in Chippendale at Cafe Giuloa’s (their website appears to be offline at the time of writing). Three super-thick pancakes with maple syrup and unfortunately not enough cream kept me well sated until later on in the late afternoon. But, I did rather feel like some coffee after walking around the overly muddy Live Green Festival (put on by the City of Sydney Council) on City Road, so we decided to head to Toby’s Estate.

If you’re moderately serious about your coffee in Sydney then you’ve probably already heard all the good things about Toby’s Estate Coffee (if not, then where have you been? ;-) ).So this was the first time I’d managed to get there for a coffee and boy did they deliver. A perfectly brewed, delicious picolo latte. Hmmm. Seeing as they’re a bit closer than the fab Campos Coffee up in Newtown, I think Campos has a new contender for favourite coffee in town (although I didn’t see any affogato on the menu at Toby’s Estate). Or perhaps there’s just a good excuse to drink more coffee on the weekends…

    I haven’t been to Sydney for over 10 years, my loss. Just wanted to pop in and mention that if any of your readers find themselves on the South Shore of Montreal then they should pop into a little cafe called Zeeba. Man- I had a really good cappuccino there this morning. Keep up the nice work here..

    Looks like great coffee!
    I homeroast and grind my own. Have tried some beans from Australia (i think Kona extra fancy) and was very pleasant!

    I will probably try this one. However, my favorite is the Jamaica Blue Mountain. I know Starbucks doesn’t carry it but if they have something close to it, I’ll be happy.

    Aww, cute flower! There is a place around here called blue bottle coffee that does these really intricate flower designs, a lot like that, only with more branching in the design. It sure must be hard to make those if you are dipping into your own merchandise!

    Sounds delicious! There’s only one way to solve your “best coffee in town” dilemma. Taste test! Haha, I’m glad Toby’s held up to their hype, too many times places don’t.

    I’ll definitely have to give it a try. I don’t care for starbucks. And I know there has got to be a decent alternative.

    The creme looks nice on that cup of coffee. Wish I could say I’m going to Sydney soon so I can give it a try.

    I’m a big Peet’s coffee fan. French Roast is the ticket
