"Reuben Hills is kind of everything that’s both so wrong and so right with Surry Hills, distilled down into the purest of forms. The coffee tastes exceptional… but to get it, you’re probably going to have to deal with a man-bunned barista who has no time for ignorance of bean origins. Whatever food you order will undoubtedly be a big pile of delicious, exotic ingredients… laid out for visual impact, not ease-of-consumption. The fit-out is reminiscent of that semi-secret New York coffee shop you'll find in a back alley in Manhattan. A garage converted into a clean, homely cafe with industrial touches. Basically, if you love horn-rimmed glasses, you’ll love Reuben Hills." - For the People
"Coffee Doesn't Get Much Cooler In a converted warehouse decked out with white and blue tiles and colored LED light strips, Reuben Hills prepares house-roasted, single-origin coffee three ways (filter, cold-brew, and espresso) and hosts cupping and tasting sessions every Friday at 10 a.m. The food is java-focused, too, inspired by buying trips to Central and South America. Menu staples include eggs with queso fresco and black beans, sopapillas , torta ahogada , and a spiced grilled chicken sandwich with tomatillo salsa (pictured). For non-coffee drinkers, there are fresh juice blends, Mexican Coke, and some seriously tempting milkshakes."

"Grab a latte at Reuben Hills, stroll Crown Street for its boutiques (The Standard), hit Tap Gallery, and dream of relocating to one of the Victorian homes along the way."
"This micro-roastery in Sydney’s coffee heartland, Surry Hills, roasts its own coffee upstairs and showcases the results in its ground-floor café. They pride themselves on meeting farmers in the source countries to sample and select small lots. Try their coffee black, white, or filtered, or the cold brew and iced latte options. Teas include their own black blend and Apple Native Iced Tea, while drinks get Latino (order the house-made iced horchata or Mex Coke). Quirky milkshakes span coffee and salted caramel." - Sophie Davies
