Pablo & Rusty's Sydney CBD

Pablo & Rusty’s Sydney CBD is a weekday café at 161 Castlereagh Street, serving coffee and food in the heart of Sydney. The venue’s in-store menu can change with the seasonal availability of ingredients, so the website does not promise a fixed selection of dishes. It is a cashless venue and does not add surcharges.

The café is part of Pablo & Rusty’s specialty coffee business, which began in 2003 when Saxon Wright created a blend for his coffee-loving brothers-in-law, Paul and Russell. The company later opened cafés and a roastery, before establishing its Sydney and Brisbane CBD stores and focusing more closely on supporting a wider community of café and venue partners.

Coffee is central to the brand, with the business also offering coffee for home and workplaces through its online subscriptions. Its stated commitments include B Corp certification, 1% for the Planet, Carbon Neutral Organisation Certification, Fair Trade and HACCP accreditation. With weekday hours from 7.30am to 2.30pm, the Castlereagh Street café is a practical option for a daytime coffee or meal while working, shopping or moving through the CBD. The venue also supports loyalty through the Pablo & Rusty’s app, where customers can buy food and coffee, collect points and redeem them at participating cafés.
