Sydney’s Small Surry Hills café serves crave-worthy, freshly roasted single-origin coffee alongside innovative seasonal brunch fare in a cool, bustling setting.
"Surry Hills has a long list of specialty coffee places but this might just at the top. Single Origin roast their own beans to a truly crave-worthy deliciousness that keeps a loyal following of locals and out-of-towners alike coming back for more. Their hole in the wall no-nonsense approach for their coffee bar is always busy, while the passionate baristas are uber friendly yet have no time for your skim milk blasphemy. A small cafe, carefully style with industrial charm, is attached on the corner and serves delicious breakfasts and lunch that feels fancy without breaking the budget. (Well, for Surry Hills that is). Take home a bag of their Resevoir Blend or just admit that you can't do it like the experts and come back the next day." - For the People
"For a choice in brews head to the Surry Hills area, which comes packed with cafes, including Single O's flagship store. Pick up single origin or bean blends along with — what else — an Australian signature flat white." - Stacey Leasca
"Good coffee is almost a birthright in Sydney, and Emma and Dion Cohen have taken care of the city’s caffeinated habit since 2003 (they aptly celebrated their anniversary by launching a fruity 20th-birthday blend). The beans from their specialty roaster, Single O, are brewed across town (from Home Croissanterie to Soulmate), and a quarter of Good Food Guide venues reportedly get their caffeine supplies from the brand. The flagship cafe features multiple ways to get your coffee, including an innovative brew bar (with single origins on self-serve tap), take-home packs of compostable drip bags, and espresso butter on banana bread. Single O’s eco-conscious approach includes backing climate-resilient coffee varieties, avoiding single-use cups and milk bottles, and supporting community initiatives." - Lee Tran Lam
"Single O Launched in Surry Hills in 2003 under the name Single Origin Roasters, this coffee company quickly received the Aussie shortening treatment and became known simply as Single O. While most Sydneysiders now understand what single-origin coffee means—beans originating from a single lot, farm, or location—that wasn’t the case when the café first debuted its filter bar to demonstrate V60 and AeroPress coffee to the masses. The original Surry Hills location also offers food items, from vegemite on toast and banana bread with espresso butter to a brisket roll for which the meat is rubbed in coffee and slow cooked for a day. Save room for the single-origin affogato, perfectly paired with Cow & Moon gelato."
