Sample Coffee Marrickville

A futuristic, micro espresso bar embracing Marrickville’s industrial character, brewery scene, and street art culture.

Opened in August 2026, this is our newest location: a compact coffee bar and retail shop attached to our upcoming roastery. We only serve coffee and other drinks (matcha, mocha, chocolate) that can be enjoyed in our casual outdoor seating area – or taken to go as you explore the neighbourhood or continue with your commute.

Tip: parking is extremely scarce, so we recommend arriving by foot, bike, or train. We’re less than a 1-minute walk from Sydenham Metro Station.

Bar design and coffee setup

Whether at home or in our shops, we’re always keen to explore new ways to make delicious, consistent, and fun coffee.

Because of this (and also because coffee technology improves a lot every year), our 3 locations currently run with different setups and systems – all working towards the same goal: to make delicious coffee and offer great, friendly service every time, every day.

Our newest shop, Marrickville, packs some of the latest tech and workflows in a ridiculously small footprint (~7.5 square metres):

  • Eversys Cameo + Latte Art Factory Bar Pro (milk coffee orders)
  • Modbar Espresso + Modbar Pour Over (single origin espresso and pour over orders)
  • Six Simple Machines Freepour Batch (four taps) + fridge (on-demand batch filter, cold brew, and special/seasonal pre-batched drinks)
  • FETCO (batch filter brewing)
  • Ditting (grind)
  • Mahlkönig EK43S (grind)
  • Soft serve ice cream machine
  • Freezer (storing our premium VS coffee range)

As a notable feature, we’ve embraced pre-batched espresso for our milk coffee drinks (latte, cappuccino, flat white, mocha, etc.) – here’s why:

Delicious taste: for us, it tastes just as good as those made with traditional setups (if not better).
Better bar design: if we put a traditional 3-group machine, it would dominate the layout and the customer/barista sightlines; the pre-batch taps let us use the bar in a more efficient way, and also leave a more fluid, free space between both sides of the counter.
Great customer service becomes a non-negotiable feature: with automation taking care of quality and consistency, baristas have more mental space and time to focus on meaningful and helpful interactions, and anything machines can’t do.
Speed of delivery: while this is not something we were deliberately looking for, it’s a welcome aspect that suits the nature of this location (small space, frequented by Sydenham Station commuters on the way to/from work).
