The roasters and cafes that define Australian specialty coffee. Single-origin obsessives, competition-winning baristas, and the neighbourhood institutions that have earned their following.

Sample Coffee

St Peters · 865.4 km from the previous stop

118 Unwins Bridge Rd, St Peters NSW 2044

Mon–Fri 7am–2pm · Sat 8am–2pm

Started in Surry Hills in 2011 with a single espresso bar, Sample Coffee moved its roasting operation to St Peters in 2014. The focus hasn't shifted: a weekly-rotating list of traceable single origins, roasted for clarity rather than house style. B Corp certified, home-compostable packaging, and twenty cents from every bag going to nonprofits. Serious about coffee without being serious about itself.
