Campos Coffee. Need I say more? OK, so how about $1 coffees with bagels? Sold yet?
I feel that although this is a newish small cafe in Redfern, it plays hardball with the surrounding cafes, most of which are more established, larger, and unsurprisingly less busy - maybe the clientele are just better here. I absolutely love the coffee roasted indie-hipster charm, only made possible by the vibrant and chatty staff, as they have always remember my regular order, and even my name on occasion. I do go by two names, so it does make it hard for them.
I'd point you in the direction of the hard to miss, outdoor seating - 'bike-seat-turned-stool' chairs, and ironing board tables that adjourn the red brick facade that face onto Redfern St. If you miss out on the hand-stitched leather saddles, pick up a milk crate, and soak up the sun on the sunniest spot in Redfern.
Dig into the incredibly tasty, and somewhat greasy (although that's what makes them so damn tasty) bagels, which are also delicious for your wallet, as you'll be able to pick up a $1 campos coffee with every bagel snapped up.
