"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
"Good coffee is a birthright in Sydney. Single O’s Emma and Dion Cohen have kept locals buzzing for over 20 years. Their beans fuel lattes across town, from Home Croissanterie to Soulmate. (A quarter of Good Food Guide venues reportedly get their caffeine supplies from the brand.) The flagship Sydney 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. Best for: An eco-conscious place to caffeinate. Single O’s approach includes backing climate-resilient coffee varieties, offering returner mugs as alternatives to single-use cups, and supporting community initiatives." - Lee Tran Lam
"A prominent Sydney roastery recognized for high-quality sourcing and roasting, playing a key role in Australia’s specialty coffee reputation." - Lauren Mowery
"In Surry Hills I can pick up single‑origin beans or blends at Single O's flagship store and enjoy an Australian signature flat white." - Stacey Leasca
"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."
