Best coffee we had on our trip through Australia. Originally tried to go on a Sunday morning and found it was closed. Tried Toast across the street that day which was also good. Came back the next day and enjoyed two delicious coffees as well as one of their large muffins. Best muffin either of us had ever had by... More

This place has character, always busy, delicious food and their espresso's are strong, rich and smooth...only for the serious espresso drinker. I have a couple of blogs that might be of interest. The first is about cafes I recommend in Aus and NZ (with a few in San Fran, NY and Vancouver); www.espresso-jono.blogspot.co.nz .and the second is favourite cafes in... More

I work just up the street from Single Origin, and having heard about their coffee I thought I'd give it a try. Sorry to say it but I've found it a bit hit and miss. Some days the coffee is great, others not so much. Worth a visit though. More

Single origin is an institution. It's busy all day every day because of the exceptional coffee, energetic, friendly staff and funky but real design. I also like the food but object to $4 for a coffee in reservoir st. But then when u r that busy I guess why not! More

Best coffee in Sydney, period. A place like this makes me jealous that there isn't half as strong a coffee culture back in Chicago. The siphon coffee was very good, and so were the lamingtons. Yup, we popped our lamingtons cherry at Single Origins Roasters. The cake was delicious with the perfect texture. This place has all the cool vibe... More

For coffee snobs this place is a must. Keep your eyes peeled, you might walk straight past it as we did. A little hidden gem, this place will draw you back again and again. Shame it's not open every day of the week! More

Whilst on a trip from Melbourne to Newcastle recently, we stopped in Sydney in order to get a train to Newcastle. I asked amongst my online communities for breakfast recommendations near Central Station, and Single Origin got the vote. We couldn't miss it when we walked into Reservoir St, there was a line for the take away section, there were... More

What a great find. A cosy little street cafe that offers great food, great coffee and excellent service. Our party of 4 started off with coffee's and went on to enjoy a late lunch. We all selected different meals from the menu and we all tried each others choice, they were all fantastic with the standouts being the Ocean Trout... More
