Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Paramount Coffee Project is a neighbourhood café in Surry Hills, Sydney, with an approach that puts coffee variety at the centre. The café showcases beans from different origins, processes and roasters, giving visitors the chance to explore a broader range of coffee rather than settling on one house style. Its food offering is described as a menu of café favourites, although the venue notes that the menu changes regularly.
Set in the light-filled foyer of Paramount House Hotel, the café opens directly to Commonwealth Street and forms part of the building’s everyday activity. That connection between the indoor space and the street gives it a relaxed, open feel suited to a morning coffee, a casual café meal or a convenient stop while exploring Surry Hills. The venue welcomes both local residents and travellers.
Paramount Coffee Project has been operating since 2013 and is a practical option for visitors who value coffee choice and an easy, central café setting. It is walk-in only, with no bookings taken, so it suits spontaneous visits and informal catch-ups rather than planned table service. The café is open daily from 7am to 4pm; on weekdays, the kitchen closes at 3pm.
