Single O Surry Hills

Single O sits on Reservoir Street in Surry Hills, one of Sydney's most dining-and-coffee-obsessed inner-city suburbs — and is the home cafe of one of the city's most celebrated specialty coffee roasters. A genuine destination for coffee lovers, it's built its reputation on serious, quality coffee, and its Surry Hills cafe has long been a fixture for those who take their cup seriously.

The appeal is that combination of expertly roasted, quality coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in the heart of buzzing Surry Hills. For anyone after a proper cup from a name synonymous with great Sydney coffee, it's a reliably excellent stop, with a quality food offering to match.

With a 4.5 rating from more than 3,000 reviews, it's clearly living up to its reputation. Menus, opening hours and offerings change, and a popular cafe gets busy at peak times and on weekends, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why Single O has been a Sydney coffee institution for so long.
