A super friendly crew of coffee artisans. Great all round but I love the single origin black coffee, pour yourself batch brew is nice. Food is top notch as well. I'm a regular now! read more

The Q on Harris - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ultimo, NSW

An innovative cafe on Harris St across from the Powerhouse Museum. The cafè has a trendy interior with a indoor seating and a courtyard out the back. There is an onsite coffee roaster and grinder with the owner importing his own beans from Sulawesi and Java in Indonesia which make for very nice coffee. They were playing a relaxed music selection ideal for the brunch setting. The staff are very friendly, we chose to sit in the courtyard out the back. There is a nice smoke aroma as we enter the courtyard and we notice that they have a BBQ smoker in action, with the kitchen staff continually checking on it. They smoke all of their meat in house. Thus had us excited for what was to come. As there was Salmon being freshly smoked, it was a given that we order tge Salmon Tartine. The salmon was delectible with a subtle smoke flavour. We were informed that the smoking process was in New York style inspired by Katz deli. We were here for brunch so perectly acceptable to order the fried chicken and waffles. The chef is of Japanese heritige and once worked as a pastry chef at Sepia. Drawing on this to produce a beatiful light waffle and a crispy house smoked chicken karage. We also tried the chicken teriyaki and brown rice bowl with pickled daikon. Well prepared with nice flavour. If you are in the area or if not, make time to visit this exciting cafè producing delicious food and great coffee. read more

In house roasted coffee and an all day breakfast and lunch menu is what you will find at Q on Harris. The inside is decorated with white and yellow subway tile which is bright and airy. Our suggestions though however is to sit outside which felt like a peaceful oasis. The big breakfast is one of the best value meals we have found - $19 will you get eggs (your choice), maple bacon, tomato, mushrooms, avocado, spinach, toast and your choice of extra protein including pastrami, haloumi, chicken or salmon. If however, you are looking for something different then the korean style veggie bowl is the go on this menu. Packed with a fried egg, kimchi, pickled radish & bamboo, shiitake mushroom, spinach, carrot, bean sprouts and seaweed, you will not leave hungry. Topped with spicy sauce and rice this dish is filling and delicious. The coffee here is something to come back for. It is an Indonesian roast which is creamy and something which you will not find in many places in Sydney. The staff here are friendly and the menu has plenty of options to keep you coming back. On the way out you can't go past the baked goods - you can't!!! We were treated to a brand new creation from the chef. A matcha New York style cheese cake with green tea gnache and Oreo base - wow!!! The atmosphere, food and staff will mean Q on Harris could easily become a regular chill spot. read more

What's worthy of note here, and refreshing is the flip on Chef Taiyo's menu having taken the helm just 5 months ago. 4 of the 9 dishes offer an optional meat/seafood add-on. I'm not a vegetarian, but appreciate the dishes and find it refreshing. Today we focused on dishes with a slight hint of Japanese and Korean, but define it as Modern Australian. There are hints of next season's menu weaving in some flavors from the Mediterranean showing great promise. Conveniently located across from the Powerhouse Museum and servicing the many media corporates and university professionals and students in close proximity, the menu is safe yet somehow daring enough! KABUKI is Japanese theatre incorporating song, mime and dance and these guys have taken that drama into a Korean Chicken waffle combination that surpasses expectation. These waffles are not sweet but more in the Mochi gluttonous form allowing the Spicy Korean and sesame glaze to shine. The coating of the chicken is very South American with a herb flouring adding to the crunch. KINOKO TARTINE, the french open sandwich that features an assortment of herb roasted Shimeji, Enoki, Button, Shitake, Oyster and Portobello Mushrooms with creme fruit, Confit Garlic, baby spinach and onion crisps on Sour dough. There's a pungent broth that forms from the layered flavor of shrooms. BIBIMPAP is the Korean mixed brown rice bowl of fried egg, shiitake, spinach, bean sprouts, seaweed, carrot, house made spicy sauce, pickled radish and bamboo. The French BRULEE is revamped with the Japanese citrus fruit, Yuzu turning the old creme flavor into a pungent custard creme with hard caramel top. And of course, you will have to find the ever popular MATCHA in the beautiful leafy toned cheesecake. The vegetal taste of matcha somehow works well with the cream cheese offering yet another surprise to your expectation. Big thanks to Mana and her team (Mio & Etienne), Chef Taiyo (Marites & Dianne) for great service, excellent meals and overall memorable time! read more

Great coffee, roasted in-house (you can watch them do it), and friendlier staff. I dropped by with my 4 year old and they brought some crayons and a drawing for her to colour! Got to love the attention. The atmosphere is really nice, some cool jazz while I was here. It can be somewhat noisy near the roasting machine (obviously), but the room at the back seems really quiet. read more

Great food. Great service. Great coffee. Cute little spot. I had the smoked salmon bowl and it was really yummy and tasty. Due to the hot weather (80F) I opted for an iced coffee with ice cream we ate in the garden area out back where it was more airy and we did not get forgotten back there. We were constantly checked on and we even chatted with the owner a bit. read more

Frankly amazed this place isn't busier. Is it the location? Because it certainly isn't the service, coffee or food which are all excellent. I had a smoked chicken pesto sandwich and a coffee. I'll be trying the reuben sandwich next time since someone else ordered it and the person with him and myself were both suffering serious FOMO for not ordering the same. Oh, and they have free wifi. read more

Exceptional food, lovely atmosphere. We are in Sydney on vacation and staying just around the corner, so we stopped in for a cup of coffee. The owner was so kind and even wrote us a list of things to do in Sydney and other restaurants that he'd recommend. We came back the next morning for the wonderful coffee/tea and tried the food - maple bacon scrambled eggs & the best smoked salmon bagel we've ever had - dill cream cheese was divine. Would HIGHLY recommend this spot. read more

Stumbled across this gem during my lunch break looking for some cake, and after reading all the reviews online about their matcha cheese cake I couldn't wait to try it! Unfortunately when I arrived I was told that they no longer do their matcha cheese cakes, and the only other cake that they now offer was also sold out. Bummer. Luckily for me I'd spotted a sign advertising their waffles with maple syrup for $5. It'd have to do at this point. Disappointed, I left with waffles only to be very pleasantly surprised that these were some of the most delectable waffles I'd ever had! Crunchy and warm on the outside but fluffy and soft on the inside. Glazed with a small amount of maple syrup I'd definitely go back! Hopefully next time for some cake. read more

I love this place. My dad proclaims that the only thing he is allergic to in life is instant coffee and I think it is hereditary. I like my coffee strong but not burnt; tasty but not overwhelming. These guys nail it. Every. Time. What more can you ask from a coffee shop? What makes this place even better is that the guys who work here are lovely AND they remember my name. Everyone wants to go somewhere where they know your name :) If you are in this end of the city, be sure to swing by to experience their extensive menu. read more

I love this place sooooo much. Everything here is great! The service, the food, the drinks, everything. I rarely write reviews but this place deserves more recognition. I'm sure there is a new chef from when I last came in April and it just gets better every time! The chef is really kind and comes out to check on your meal, he takes great care with presentation, flavours and fresh ingredients. This is my second day in a row, the first I had the avocado and olive on sourdough and the second I had the salmon. Both exquisite! Highly recommend! read more

The staff here are so lovely! I really miss living so close to this cafe as the coffee and atmosphere were both amazing. Highly recommended!

The Q is a great coffee shop with very friendly and welcoming staff. Can't say I've eaten there but the food always looks really nice. They roast and brew their own coffee so they really know what they're doing when they make you a cup. I work close by, so I occasionally take business guests there for a meeting over coffee. Never disappointed with the coffee or service! read more

Went in originally wanting to try the chicken and waffles but ended up having the Buta Katsu sandwich. It was great! Great service, great staff and amazing coffee selections. My wife had a medium roast blend (after mistakingly snatching the owners cup which started a funny interaction) and I had a mocha which was was a perfect balance! Great atmosphere with the right touch! read more

The Q on Harris is in a corner shop front that is well lit with natural light, making for a lovely spot to get a coffee or a quite bite. Their menu is simple, but full of tasty things.

Very tasteful coffee, some snacks, amazing staff with very friendly attitude which makes not only your morning coffee more enjoyable.

Got the pastrami sand which to takeaway and it was phenomenal! Only 10 min wait to get the food. I will definitely go back to sit down and enjoy a longer meal. read more

Conveniently located across from The Powerhouse Museum, this cute corner cafe offers indoor & outdoor seating in a cosy courtyard as well as on site coffee roasting. An all day menu showcases a variety of modern dishes with Asian, French & American influences. The Kabuki waffle is fried chicken & waffles with Korean accents. It came with glossy, caramelised chicken pieces which were sweet, juicy & tender. The waffles are made with a spicy batter & had a real kick. Bibimbap is another dish showcasing the Korean influence in a healthier way. Japanese features in the yuzu brulee tart which has beautiful acidity in the light custard that contrasts with the sweet buttery base & caramel praline top. Pandan brulee tart was fragrant, although sweeter then the yuzu but just as delectable. You cannot eat here without trying the Matcha cheesecake with Oreo base. It has a good matcha flavour without being overly sweet or bitter. The texture is silky yet dense & the Oreo base was the perfect vessle for carrying the creamy cake. Having their own rostery means a great coffee to be had and with friendly service also, this makes a perfect trendy yet relaxed meal. read more

This was love at first sight. I walked past it and within two seconds I was in the door and great but the most friendly staff I have ever met. Had a quick glance at what there was to eat and nearly couldn't decide. I choose the Egg,Avocado and Salmon sandwich & a cup of minty marrakesh tea. When I got give the tea it was served on a wooden board with it own personal glass mini teapot and glass tea cup this was perfect and how tea should be served and drunk. Now the only disappointment about this place was the lack of good seating the main table was a short knee high table which felt uncomfortable which made waiting and eating terrible but that only if your eating having a cup of tea was fine for it. Finally the sandwich came, it was a deconstructed sandwich with a salad. This tasted amazing flavor busted in every mouthful, it was well worth the time and money for it. The last thing I did before leaving was to grab a cheeky Lindt chocolate tart... If you mouth isn't watering you clearly don't know good food. First bite your in heaven. The cafe is very new and they change there menu regular according to seasons. Staff know there teas, coffees and foods well. This is how ever small cafe should be. Beautiful! read more
