"Came here for coffee twice while visiting Sydney. Lovely staff, even better coffee and overall a really nice experience. I also really enjoyed the little Easter egg in the doorbell put a big smile on my face!"
Visiting Single O in Sydney was an amazing experience when it comes to pure black single origin coffee. It doesn’t take long to realize that Australia is a espresso based milk beverage country. According to the Square Coffee Report 2019, 74% of all coffees served in a café were milk beverages (latte: 27%, flat white: 25%, cappuccino: 20%, and piccolo: 2% . That is massive compared to other countries. This is also why the baristas here in Australia are milk texturing robots. Single O launched an interesting black coffee model to emphasizing on the purest way to enjoy coffee – single origin black coffee: TAP-IN: “We launched black coffee on tap at our Surry Hills café in early 2019.

Food was nice and staff were friendly
Circa Espresso is a small cafe located a short walk from Parramatta station. It was difficult to find and I actually drove past it as there were no signs. We sat outside to bask in the sun on a cold morning.
With all the buzz around the health benefits of tumeric, I decided on the tumeric latte with h/made tumeric, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, almond and date milk. This was my second time trying a latte with tumeric and it was disappointing. My first experience was at Sokyo and that was delicious but not here, I was struggling to finish it, I ended up leaving it and had water. It was a weird combination.
The 2 popular dishes were the Ottoman eggs or Bake...
Been to Circa twice, the second time to try the new menu. Despite the interior being a bit dark for great photos, the first time with the old menu was amazing! My friend and I were pleasantly surprised by how great the meal was and vowed to bring our other friends there soon. However, upon our return a few months later, the menu had changed and the food was no longer as great as it was previously which was disappointing to see. The cramped indoor space also had trouble fitting our slightly larger group, but would be really cosy and nice for smaller groups. While we still enjoyed the meal, the negative change in menu was a disappointment.

Some of the most delicious coffees, the Single O beans got me on a journey of brewing at home. I finally got up to the Surry Hills Cafe and it was a treat, the filter flight was amazing as was the pork toastie. Staff were super attentive and friendly I also picked up a packet of the Parachute brews which are super useful for getting really amazing coffee when all you have near is a kettle
The milk bun with bacon and egg was incredible. The bun was so light it was really just a vector for ingesting yummy bacon and egg and the mayo had a nice heat and just added to the whole experience. Coffee was delicious. I love the way they used the wall opposite in the alleyway for street art and then repeated the motif on the pillar inside the bar area.
Went there in the morning, coffee was good, food was good. Would wanna go back again. They have a bunch of beans that they roast by themselves I believe. The time I went there were only outdoor seats as they didn’t open up the shop but that might have changed now. Anyway, keen to come back here again soon.
Visited two mornings in a row. This is how much I liked it. Tried their tap filter lineup, piccolo, long black. I’ll have to say, the coffee is a tiny bit on the disappointed side given how high of an expectation I’ve had. Food wise, delicious! Chicken toasties, and the corn fritter, simply lovely.

Finally get a chance to get here after only having Single O coffees from other wholesaler. Staffs are amazing! Super friendly, Bubbly and Knowledgeable. Daily Fright is the must-have here! Very reasonable price Specialty Coffees. Would love to try their food next time.
