\"sydney-cafe\"<\/p>\n

When it comes to coffee in Australia, everyone automatically thinks of Melbourne, the original gourmet capital<\/a>. However, in the recent years, Sydney<\/a> has shaken off its image of being a city just for beaches and outdoor experiences<\/a> to become a great coffee destination. Sydney baristas take great pride in brewing amazing coffees, and cafe owners put a great deal of heart into creating cosy welcoming set ups for their patrons, creating an amazing cafe scene in Sydney with tons of great coffee options.<\/p>\n

Flat whites, capuccinos or mocha lattes, whatever your preference, here\u2019s a look at some of the best cafes\u00a0to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in Sydney\u2019s thriving coffee scene.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Micro-roasters<\/h2>\n

The first sign of the coffee uprising is the influx of micro-roasters around the city. Not only are these boutique coffee suppliers providing Sydney with the much needed variance from your standard chain store brew, they are also exciting additions to the gourmet coffee scene, as many are also associated with their creative meals on the menu.<\/p>\n

For a more iconic Sydney experience, head to the famous Bondi Beach and while you take a break from surfing and sunbaking, enjoy a cup of golden drop at Sensory Lab Roasters<\/strong><\/a>. New on the market and brought to the public by a bunch of coffee professionals who supposedly eat, sleep and make coffee, this micro-roaster and caf\u00e9 has brought a fresh point of view in the already caf\u00e9-filled Bondi streets.<\/p>\n
