Dedicating this review to Dan P.... I had tons of cafes BMd in Syd but had to stop by Klink cause he checked in here so darn freq :P I love a good ol walk-thru, especially for a scrump cup o joe! So awesome, esp cause it's slightly cheaper than some of the neighboring joints. The cafe itself is quite small w only two or three small tables inside so it's best to just get it for takeaway. Surprisingly, Klink doesn't seem to get as busy as some of the other places, even though i'd say that their coffee is as good or even better than some of the places where lines are 20+ people deep. No thanks. No cup of coffee is that good, esp when you haven't had any! Hah read more

Go to window. Demand attention. Receive hot coffee! --- Magic! Whereas its buddy down the street is a smooth and creamy velvet seductress, Klink is a thug, that grabs u by the scruff of the neck, drags you into a back alley and takes you for a tumble in the rough with its rich robustness. Good service. Good coffee. Price is the standard $4.50 sweetspot for a LSL. I now have two choices for coffee within 50m of each other and right near work. Life is now complete :) read more

I have alot of friends who swear by Kink as an awesome cafe, and they are totally right. The friendly artistic people behind the counter (or windowsill if that is your choice) are passionate about awesome coffee. Often you'll hear me complain about too much milk in my coffee, but these guys are never in the wrong. Why? Because they give you the milk on the side...! The woman who made my coffee said it best when she said "I just want to give people what they really want". Awesome. The crema here is also outstanding..! Velvet, even in a dbl mac (which often loses it as you add the 2nd shot). As for their beans, the coffee they serve here I have seen nowhere else to date. The Golden Cobra sounds like something out of a Bruce Lee film. Instead, it is just a beautifully rich flavourful coffee. My only hangup about this cafe is that while it makes brilliant coffee, it is not the type of place I would waste away a day relaxing. This cafe is a must try for anyone who loves coffee.

This wee little hole in the wall (literally) is a worthwhile detour away from your regular coffee pit stop. Ok, so their awesome Golden Cobra coffees aren't only passed through the constantly open window to patrons awaiting their brew on Clarence Street, but it's a good way to get to know the busy baristas. Whether you choose to place your order here or at the counter inside, staff are always friendly and efficient - the New Zealandish head honcho guy always took the time to ask me how work was going, even though I'm pretty sure he had absolutely no idea what I did. There's not a whole lot in the way of seating by the machine, but if you walk just a few metres further inside the gallery the shop resides in you can settle in at some bench seats - they run along the hallway with boutique shops either side. read more

Klink - Restaurants Near Me - Sydney, NSW

I got ninety-nine problems but a bad coffee ain't one. I'm lying. I have no problems. I'm incapable of stress (another not-so-super power.) The moment I walked into so-good-we-don't-need-to-offer-food Klink I knew I'd be starting the day right. Since going full caffeine freak and ditching the milk I have to be pretty picky about my coffee. Klink, you have made the cut. From the poor-boy caps to the blue checked button shirts, it's everything I love about Sydney's coffee culture. These fellows take coffee seriously. It is an art and a great responsibility. People's careers, their very livelihood hinges on a good coffee to start the day. Colonel Klink can't run a prison camp but Coffee Klink can run a cafe. read more

Express-o take-away coffee served to you on the street through a comfortably large window, or have a sit-down cuppa inside in the gallery arcade. Sit-downs are long and languid sessions with the paper outside of rush hour, but you may find yourself clanging glass with other lunch break coffee-vikings at the long table through smoko and lunch. Speaking of the coffee: Amazing. read more

Definitely not what it's hyped up to be. The coffee was ok, nothing to write home about. Their coffee making practices on the other hand were horrendous. No wiping of the group handle between coffee extractions is definitely tainting the flavors My picollo was served In tall cup and resembled a 3/4 latte rather than a picollo. My dbl espresso was run way way too long ( 80-100ml) Finally (And the reason this place gets two stars rather than a possible 3) the service left a lot to be desired. I get that hipsters love to be aloof but that sort of attitude has no place In this business read more

Love love love. These guys serve the best coffee this side of the CBD. The smooth, strong coffees are pumped out quick-smart and served to you through the window. Love the hole-in-the-wall feel to the place and wish I was still working in Darling Park so I could frequent this joint more often! read more

Definitely one of the best coffee places in Sydney CBD. Located inside Gaffa Gallery on Clarence St, this cafe serves you great coffee. Strong, but not bitter, just the way I like it. read more

I love this little hole-in-the wall cafe attached to a gallery. The coffee is excellent, that's a given. It's really the atmosphere and service that lifts Klink. Rather than another churn & burn cafe, this place is cute and arty, delivering excellent and quick service that feels like it's from a friend. This will become a regular stop for me in the CBD, where a little slice of personality is always welcome! read more

I decided to stop at Klink for coffee, as it was right next to Kakawa Chocolates. I am glad that I did, as I needed my morning coffee caffeine. I ordered the black coffee. It was a dark roast with a nice strong flavor. Sweetened by a spoonful of sugar, it was enough to add a light sweetness to the coffee without overpower the beans flavor. A great cup of coffee that I am glad that I stopped here. read more

I love the setting for this small cafe - there is not much seating place but the building it is set in feels like it has something special - small little shops and tons of character. I was a bit surprised to see the milk served on the side of my double mac, but on reflection I did not actually mind that - it allowed me to make it as milky (or not!) as I wanted. The coffee was nice and smooth, good strong crema, and went down very fast. read more

What you need to know about Klink: They serve coffee They serve food Both are delicious And they serve it without attitude or pretence. 'Nuff said. read more

Klink is my new go to place for coffee in the morning. The tall Barista has an automated doser on his grinder which I believe is one part of the key to his success. The staff are pleasant and efficient. The coffee is strong. The toast with tomato and avocado was delish. Thoroughly recommend this place on your way to the office! read more

Calling all coffee lovers! It's time you made a beeline for Clarence street. You could easily walk right by Klink - it's a veritable hole-in-the-wall. The only thing that might stop you is the line of keen bean (sorry) coffee fans lining up at the windowsill. Do yourself a favour and join the queue. If you're also feeling a bit peckish, Klink serves up banana bread and Sonoma sourdough (my favourite) with an assortment of toppings. But really, it's all about the coffee. Smooth, divine, expertly delivered coffee. So although the Klink sounds like somewhere you shouldn't want to end up, this cafe will make you reconsider. read more

Best take away coffee in the city. Consistently excellent for 2 years. Neat coffee window on a fairly quiet street (for the city). The only downside is the daily telegraph placed near the coffee window -- but the coffee makes up for that. read more

Confession: when I first moved to Australia, I drank instant coffee. I didn't enjoy the taste, but I come from the land of half-sweet-triple-vente-white-chocolate-mochas and pressed coffee. I didn't know what a real coffee was meant to taste like. Those days seem so long ago now (although I still enjoy pressed coffee, I just found better beans). The coffee snobbery of the city (country?) quickly snatched at me and embedded itself deep in my soul, refusing to let go. Now, I too am like most Sydney siders, flashing a suspicious glance at those with a fast food coffee- don't they know what they're missing? And along came Klink. The coffee at Klink is quite good. The brew is sharp and strong. Not as strong as Gumption down the road, but Klink is more than adequate and a close second for the area. Where this place loses points for me (in addition to not being QUITE strong enough) is twofold: 1. Its too hot. I know my long blacks can be some of the hottest drinks out there, but they don't have to be. There's machines that can brew at a lower temp, or the low cost DOCW (that's dash of cold water for people that aren't Dan P). 2. The cup and lid they use are, in my humble opinion, either cheap or just poorly made. Tying this into complaint 1, I constantly have to switch hands to keep from burning myself. The lid is incapable of forming a seal around the cup so by the time its cool enough to consume, a good portion of the coffee is all over my hand. None of the above are fatal, and overall I quite like Klink. Its nice to have some options in the morning - I'll just ask for the DOCW next time. read more

Extremely rude staff. Don't event try to spend a second here after you've finished your coffee - the moment you're done, the staff will tell you in no uncertain terms you are no longer welcome. Definitely not recommended, despite the coffee being good (for Sydney's standards). read more

Good coffee. Didn't have the food, but the coffee is good. However, this is a darker bean so if you don't like that kind of coffee you shouldn't drink here. The cafe is in the a design school, so there is a shop and sometimes an exhibition from some of the students so it's cool to check it out. read more

Nice coffee! Tucked away at the entrance to Gaffa Gallery is this cosy, airy coffee place. Friendly staff, prompt service. Tables and chairs and nibbles also if you want to escape the city streets a bit longer. read more

Hard to say why, but this proved to be the best coffee I had during a week in Sydney CBD. While very busy they were always friendly enough but know that they're focused on their product and less on conversation. read more

Great coffee shop in the CBD. Strong, quick and friendly. One of the few places you can order a coffee (through giant window) while having a chat on the pavement in the open air. read more

Coffee here is great. There is a table around the back where you can sit with your beverage and read the paper.

The coffee was okay but the overall package is simply not up to the level I've come to expect of places around the town hall area. Service service service has been overlooked for arrogant hipsterism at this joint. Not cool!!! read more

On vacation and wanted nice local place for morning coffee and this is perfect. Great cap. Hard to find just look for street number.

Love it. Beautiful coffee aromas permeate the air, sourced from the thick, rich cremas on every cup of coffee. Customers can order through the window from the street scape and they queue even in the pouring rain. Others drop inside the cavernous café interior that flows into open rentable work-spaces and onto the Gaffa Art Gallery. I get there as often as I can to experience the coffee, my favourite in the CBD, definitely largely attributable to the skill of the barristers. A must visit location for coffee enthusiasts. read more

Terrible service and a horrible experience. Owner and barister was rude and arrogant. The coffee is good but service is important to me (or just plain human decency would be nice). Wouldn't return here if you paid me. read more

Great coffee. Awesome avocado and tomato toast!

I'm a coffee lover and this place? they have delicious flavours. the place is quite small but I think that doesnt matter, you can just have a quick order in a window and wait outside. you may try at this shop if you are nearby. read more

Don't waste your time. They don't care about their customers and will be on your back to leave so they "don't loose more customers". Plus, burnt coffee tipped it all off. read more
