A friend and I recently visited here do this is based on only two coffees made by the same barista. Basically arrived to get a take away and had to a couple of minutes to order while the barista ignored us to keep flirting with the only other customer waiting. The coffee was balanced but weak and too hot as... More

Knowing that coffee is a big thing is Sydney, I had to try as many coffee roasters as I could. I needed to also bring back a gift for my cousin, so coffee beans was the right choice. After researching online, I found Single Origin Roasters. It was near Bill's in Surry Hills, so it was perfect. After having a... More

If you're fanatical about your coffee, Single Origin Roasters is among 5 cafes in Sydney I would consider compulsory for your consumption. As the name suggests, their focus is on sourcing the best fair trade beans, roasting them to perfection and respecting the bean by choosing the best brewing methods for your selection. They were among the first in Sydney... More

Met my son for lunch at this small Cafe in Reservoir Street Surrey Hills. Although the menu was limited the meals were exceptional for a Cafe with limited space. Seats cascade onto the streetscape but on a rainy day the driving wind made it difficult to sit outside. Coffee was delightful and it made us ask for a 2nd round.... More

In a nice location with street-side seating, Single Origin Roasters is a good breakfast option. The poached eggs are great, however the serving is small (with one small piece of toast). The coffee was good, however it took about 25 minutes for ours to arrive (longer than the food took).

I first visited Single Origin (SO) a few months after they opened in 2003. Back then it was a small sparsely decorated shop, but the combination of the heady scent emanating from Boris the coffee roaster, and the unabashed enthusiasm and passion of the owners and staff, were totally infectious. You simply wanted this place to succeed - and it... More

Single Origin is our local - we have at least one coffee per weekday there. The only problem is that It's not open at weekends. Solved that one by buying their whole coffee beans and making our own coffee at weekends. They have quite an array of beans from different regions and the baristas, especially Shoji, will happily share their... More

As the name suggests, Single Origin is all about coffee, and it that department, they nail the theme and offer a beautifully ambient experience. They tend to be very business in the morning's and the wait can be quite off putting, but they have go some way toward alleviating this by recently opening their 'hole in the wall' section. I...

I've been visiting this place for years now and have seen it grow from a quiet little corner cafe into a must visit for anyone withing a 5km radius and deservedly so. The coffee is magnificent and about the only reason I go there. Draws a big crowd and if you can be bothered with the crowd, well worth sitting... More
