Bambini Espresso Bar


Popular city caffeine hit
299 Elizabeth Street
Sydney, NSW 2000
+61 (0)2 9261 3331
Located opposite the law courts if you can squeeze yourself in amongst the suits, you can enjoy great coffee here and some tasty snacks. Stylish and contemporary this busy café is usually full of business people and other city workers. Standing seems to be preferred though high stools do feature, if you can find one.

There is the usual range of lattes, milkshakes and of course strong espresso. Snacks and quick bites include focaccia packed with salami, avocado and Spanish onion to name but a few, as well other gourmet treats. Prices start from AUD6.

Belgian Waffle Shop


Sticky, rich chocolate toppings
Manly Wharf
Manly
Sydney, NSW 2095
They say these are the best waffles to be had outside of Belgium--you will just have to find out for yourself. With a sea view, what better place to enjoy a tasty snack? Popular with locals and tourists alike, all the waffles are freshly cooked and served with a smile. Plain with sugar or topped with ice cream and fruit, there is something for everyone. They also serve great coffee and hot chocolate and do a great value coffee and waffle deal.

Glebe
Sydney, NSW 2037
+61 (0)2 9518 4443
This coffee shop imports hand-crafted coffee blends direct from Rome. Shipped every two weeks and stored in purpose-built cool rooms, this gives Sydneysiders the chance to experience the rich velvet-smoothness of traditional, artisan coffee.

Delifrance


French bakery

Sydney, NSW 2000
+61 2 9261 5820

Fellini on Victoria


La Dolce Vita
332 Victoria Street
Darlinghurst
Sydney, NSW 2010
+61 2 9360 5568
Film and cafes are closely linked in this part of the world--across the street is the Tropicana, nerve centre for the Tropfest short film festival. Named after the Maestro of cinema, Frederico Fellini, Cafe Fellini is a scene right out of La Dolce Vita. As Italian as it gets without leaving Sydney--open windows, clattering tiles, and a big cafe bar. Vine ripened tomatoes, fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil and soft Ricotta go into making homemade pasta sauces that do great box office with the locals. The Lasagne is not to be missed.

Ibiza Café


Laid Back & Delicious
47 Old Barrenjoey Road
Avalon, NSW 2107
+61 2 9918 3965
Perched just back from the corner at the main intersection, a short stroll from the beach, Ibiza café sits sentinel. Housed next door to the original Avalon General Store building in a shop built in 1935 as a food establishment, Ibiza is an Avalon institution. Many things to many people, Ibiza offers great coffee and an extensive breakfast feast to the early morning crowd. A place that welcomes the kids –crayons and coloring books are on hand – for the 11a moms and after school gang. In addition to a fine wine list and delicious lunch or dinner menu for those after a relaxed dining experience. The decor is beachy and laid-back with bare boards and director's chairs the style of choice. The service is warm and friendly and the passing parade assured. -Kate White

Kafenio


Great coffee in Glebe
72 Glebe Point Road
Glebe
Sydney, NSW 2037
+61 (0)2 9552 3610
A small establishment in the heart of the Glebe café culture. Intimate and cosy this busy café is popular with Sydneysiders after a great coffee. Read the magazines, play chess or just enjoy the friendly atmosphere.

Unlicensed, most people come here mainly for the coffee, but light snacks include scrumptious pizza and sandwiches, and the fruit whips and smoothies are delicious. There are some great vegetarian options and takeaway is available. Prices start from around AUD5.

Maisy's Cafe


24 hour hole-in-the-wall
164 Military Road
Neutral Bay
Sydney, NSW 2089
+61 (0)2 9908 4030
A popular venue with late-night and shift workers on their way home from the office, this tiny hole-in-the-wall has been packed to the rafters since it first opened, many years ago now. The décor is stainless steel and chrome. A dumb waiter (basket on a chain) airlifts meals between the two dining floors and the kitchen. A sinful selection of cakes (Mud Cake, Carrot Cake, thick-crust Apple Pie) will tempt even the most diet-conscious. Maisy's serves snacks and mostly light meals in the order of nachos, pasta, pizzas-for-one and pancakes.

Talk of the town
201 Sussex Street
Sydney, NSW 2000
+61 2 9283 2343
Paradiso has all the hallmarks of an authentic Italian cafe bar--the kind you would expect to find tucked away in the back streets of Venice, not downtown Sydney.

Spring Espresso Bar


Trendy cafe in Potts Point
65 Macleay Street
Potts Point
Sydney, NSW 2011
+61 (0)2 9331 0190
This trendy establishment hits the spot amongst the competition in the café culture of Potts Point. Small and intimate, the cool white interior adds a sophisticated air.

Swell Cafe


Good Coffee, Big Smiles
74 Old Barrenjoey Rd
Shop 3
Avalon Beach, NSW 2107
+61 2 9918 5678
As any serious coffee connoisseur knows, the quest for good coffee is serious and sharing the local knowledge paramount. So here it is, in the heart of Avalon Beach village, amongst an array of cafes, sits Swell Cafe and they have the best coffee in town. A funky, unpretentious space Swell is wedged into a sidewalk shop-front, re-fitted to provide limited, but comfortable seating, a tiny kitchen and a large, pumping espresso machine. The staff, nice but a little unexcited to see you (they know they have the best coffee too), will generally tend to you in good time. The menu is small, high quality and they offer all day breakfast! -Kate White
