Skittle Lane

Came here for a quick coffee after lunch and ordered a flat white. It has a nice medium roast profile which was strong, smooth and tasty.

The simple interior and a coffee on my way to work really brightened my mood. The latte had a slightly stronger milk taste, but the overall flavor was still great.

Visited Skittle on a Monday lunch. I loved the minimalist and industrial aesthetic of the venue, definitely has very Melbourne modern cafe vibes ;p. The service was pretty quick and the staff were pretty friendly. Coffee wise, we felt the iced latte was a little too sweet and the coffee’s could’ve been stronger/more bitter. Overall a nice place to visit if you’re in the area.

Really good ham & cheese croissant, good coffee, could be a little hotter and stronger to me. Was lukewarm but ok on a hot day. Not much seating space. Super friendly staff make it a nice experience!

Great coffee just needed a bit more heat in the milk department, nice industrial Style galley feel to the place

Visited Sydney on a work trip - tried quite some coffees in Sydney and Skittle Lane is one of my favourites. Located in a slightly smaller off street, right in the heart of CBD. Had a latte to-go, coffee was well made, tasty, and service was pretty quick and staff were all really friendly. Experience: Small cafe outfit with about 10-15 seats by the window. Bench-sitting without much table space. Visit Date: Feb 2025

Great little café tucked away in a very accessible location. The coffee is always smooth and satisfying, and the baristas clearly know what they’re doing. The service is professional, and the staff are generally cheerful and helpful. The space itself is clean and well-organized, with a calm, pleasant atmosphere. It can get a bit noisy when it’s busy, but that’s to be expected in a popular place. Still, a dependable go-to for a good cup of coffee and a comfortable environment.

Very cute hip space with a nice clam ambience away from the hustle & bustle of the CBD. Staff are friendly and the coffee was exceptional.

Wonderful little coffee shop. The baristas were first class and the coffee was fantastic. Seating is not ample though they are working well with what they have. Highly recommend.

Went twice total, still good flat whites, excellent service. Mocha was also very yummy. I like this place for its consistency.

A "regular" coffee at Skittle Lane is 3/4 of the size (if even that) of a regular coffee you would normally expect to find in a cafe - but they charge the same price as other cafes. As for the taste? Bleh! My first sip tasted like medicine. Have never come across coffee tasting like this before. Really disappointing.

So today I walked into an empty cafe and watched the barista take 10 mins to make me a long black. Two minutes to make the coffee and eight minutes to use that coffee to paint an abstract artwork on my cup. I'd hate to see this place at peak hour. Despite this their single origin was decent. $4.50 for a large which is the size we used to call a small (8oz). What is with this portion size shrinkage? I blame Michael Moore and those Sugar Film people. I appreciate the minimalist decor in this place, sympathetic to the style of the building. I hear the eponymous Skittle Lane is going to be a little foodie paradise when they're done. I also hear this cafe sells Brewnuts and other lovely treats but they were long gone by the time I visited at 2.30pm. It's on my route from the office to Pitt St Mall so I can see myself filling up that coffee card at some point.

The bag of beans to take home was awesome! The Flatty is like butter ganache, with caramel tang. More please. Smaller take away cups are better! Coffee is Expensive, milk is cheap, A bigger cup taste weaker.

Nice place, very limited food options and definitely not the place to have a coffee catch up (bunch seating only) difference between 4 and 5 stars is the coffee, good flavor but way too light for my liking
