Antidote

The baristas here are keen new-brewers, but two things are holding them back. One is the low number of power outlets in their smart, spacious corner cafe, and two, everybody wants a caffe latte to go. Stay a while, instead, for a siphon ('fine, like wine') or cold-drip ('cold and bold') or just to enjoy a sensational house-blend piccolo latte ($3.50) that comes on strong but fair in Sydney's most chic cup/saucer combo ($3.50). Match to a freshly baked croissant or sausage roll in the open courtyard. And make their day - ask to take a look at their special baby, the Bonmac halogen heater from Japan. The latest go-to place in Pyrmont for espresso (a sensational piccolo caffe latte), pour-over, cold-drip and AMAZING hot chocolate. High tea, too. And hot pies.
