Circa Espresso

Parra matters - for coffee, among many other things. Decorated in graffiti-style art and built from a former driveway, Circa is further hard evidence that Sydney's fine coffee frontier doesn't begin at Surry Hills and end at Redfern. Little Marionette beans deliver a potent, power-packed macchiato ($3) and a caffe latte ($3.50) that's uncompromisingly full-bodied. Breakfasts are delicious omelettes and bacon and egg rolls with home-made relish and some friendly banter on the side.
