Coffee Alchemy

Yes, it's pure alchemy that this mysterious warehouse doorway promises, and delivers: the seemingly magical transformation of common materials (beans, water, air) into liquid gold. With a small army of grinders, a new-brew bar and a shiny Spirit Triplette leading the charge, you could be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a laboratory rather than the sideshoot cafe of roaster and NSW Barista Champ Hazel de los Reyes. Choose from one of five single origin roasts in your pour-over or espresso ($3.50), or go for the rich, dark chocolate and nut flavours of the Goodness Galileo house blend. And no, there's no food here. Who on earth needs food?
