This is without a doubt worth the wait for coffee. It's probably the best coffee I've had in Sydney in 10 years of living there. I have never felt disappointed with the speed of service, the product or the atmosphere. The staff are efficient, to the point and cater to your needs and if you go there enough times remember your order across all the cashiers. The seating area is small and don't expect a table overtime you go there. Heading there from 8:30am onwards you can expect to be waiting up to 10 mins to get your order as the lines just grow and grow. Please bring cash as they don't have any EFTPOS facilities here. Remember your order after you've place it as one of the staff will bring it out to the street and call the order by products (rather than order number) and people are waiting for their order to be called out next. I have recommended this to all my colleagues when working in Sydney and yet to hear a single complaint apart from the wait times to order when coming in around 9am. read more

Workshop Espresso - This truly is great coffee. Bring cash, no EFTPOS and get in before the line blows out! #goodcoffee - Cafes Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Being from the US, I'm used to large coffee sizes. A small here is basically the size of an expresso shot in the US with New York type prices. It was a little bit of a shocker. That said, both the coffee and chai were refreshing and light without the typical sludge of tons of sugar and flavorings. That said, is it worth going to get coffee there? Workshop is pretty popular and the lines can be long. But even in a city that rivals San Fran for coffee shops, Workshop is one of the finest in the town. read more

Quick and efficient, friendly and great coffee. A very professional setup in the CBD... and great jam donuts!

Small and quaint. The Flat White was absolutely delicious! The pastries were delicious and melt in your mouth. The service and people there were exceptional!! I will visit this place when I come back! read more

I always enjoy this trendy little hole in the wall coffee shop. The coffee is always excellent and the food is fresh and delicious. There can be a long wait during peak hours however. read more

Just ended up getting sick of the rudeness and poor service of the New Zealand owner. The coffee is OK, not the best in the area, the food is fair but not the best cafe food in the area. The only reason to go there was convenience but the rudeness ended up outweighing that. read more

Nice little hole in the wall, Melbourne-style cafe. Decent coffee and a limited but tasty offering of baked goods to have with it.

There were lots of people milling around outside for their morning coffee fix but the staff were churning thru the orders in quick time. We ate at the small bar. Best coffee and breakfast in Sydney if you ask me. I had the chorizo roll and wife had F. A. T. Lovely lady taking orders and great staff. read more

Workshop Espresso - Chorizo Roll and F. A. T. - Cafes Near Me - Sydney, NSW

The term 'workshop' is very fitting. A friend of mine spent a few years working there and described to me once the process in which coffee there is made. They basically have an assembly line of baristas, each trained to perform a specific task for the making of coffee (i.e. one grinds the beans, one person pours the shot, one pours the milk etc.). Resulting from this, the coffee is consistent, balance and of course made quite a bit quicker than by a single barista. Each aspect of the assembly of the coffee is near perfect, meaning that the resulting beverage is spot on. In my opinion, the bean and brew overall is pleasantly smooth. The best time to go is just after before or after peak business hours in order to negate the cue. Overall, I highly recommend the coffee here and the food is pretty good too. read more

This has definitely become go-to for coffee. Not only is it one of the very few coffee shops that does proper chai tea latte but at a decent price too! I'm yet to try out their food soon especially as it's so conveniently located to my work! read more

Great coffee. I had ordered an iced latte, which I'm not sure is typical given the confused look I received, but they tried hard to accommodate me. Cash only, and no real seating, but definitely well made coffee drinks if you're looking for a fix to just grab and go. read more

They produce coffee at a reasonable pace. Lots of people waiting in line. The waitress was very pleasant. Good coffee but I would not go out of my way to walk there. Other places in the area are just as good, if not better. read more

I was very impressed with my egg and bacon sandwich with chili jam at this fine coffee shop. My partner had his with brown sauce and it was mighty tasty. Can't wait to try the rest of their offerings including the huge donuts that came out fresh after we ordered. The line from 8:30 to 9:30 speaks for itself. read more

A coffee haven in a city that doesn't seem to like coffee very much. Always busy, and a pretty good espresso.

Expect to wait wait wait zzzzz, wait for your coffee. Then the barista sucked his finger and was touching the coffee as he was tamping it. Gross. And the the coffee was just average. Just don't bother. Better coffee not far away (marlow's way, Janus) read more

Great coffee! Fast service. Great location. Always a small crowd of patrons outside waiting for their takeaway. There's a cosy counter where you can sit and drink in, and a few sandwiches and sweets available if you're peckish. read more

Best coffee in Sydney CBD? Perhaps. It's good, the service is great but it wont reinvent your view of coffee. It's never been terrible, but its not the best ever. read more

This my favourite place in Sydney to have coffee. Great service and some excellent eats.

Probably the best coffee I've had in the city, definitely the best at the Galeries. Friendly staff, very hospitable and happy to help with coffee selections. The coffee is top notch, the workshop blend is smooth and extremely palatable, not overly bitter or with a lingering aftertaste. Single origin blends are varied and exciting, do not miss out. read more

Definitely one of the best places for take away coffee in the CBD! Try to avoid going during peak times if you're in a rush as the line can get pretty long, but it's definitely worth the wait. The store itself is pretty small for how popular it is, but it's a great place to grab smaller food and coffee for a workday break! read more

Friendly staff and good food and coffee inside this hole in the wall. I got avocado toast with smoked salmon and an espresso and sat at the little bar against the wall and enjoyed my breakfast. First off the avocado toast is quite large and filling. I couldn't even finish it all. The expresso was great and the staff was nice. read more

Workshop Espresso - You get 2 of these in an order. Massive! - Cafes Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Unfortunately, I once had a burnt coffee here so not too tempted to go back! Pretty nice sandwiches and a cool spot if you can steal yourself a table or spot on the high bench among the other office workers. read more

Quality coffee, best in the neighbourhood, friendly staff!;) So grateful they're just one block away from my college! Large Cappucino/FlatWhite/Late 4.50$ read more

We checked out this hole in the wall coffee spot while we were in Sydney and in search of our caffeine fix. It's a great little spot tucked into the side of busy George street, and by the time we got there there was quite a line of folks waiting for their fix. The staff are friendly and efficient. My coffee there was solid - good but not mindblowing. Great assortment of little pastries as well. read more

Great coffee in the CBD. It's located on ground floor Galleries Victoria building (across from Queen Victoria Building). You would see ppl queuing but waiting time is short, so dont despair. They only have few seats available, but you can order take away and take escalator down to the food court (lower ground level of Galleries Victoria). read more

Makes all other coffee shops seem futile... this is the place to go for coffee in Sydney.

Fave place for coffee/tea in the CBD. They also do a delicious ricotta berry muffin and toasted sandwich. Staff are all friendly and its constantly packed! Yum! read more

First time to Sydney and Workshop was a great place to stop and grab a morning coffee before I started exploring the city. Very popular place among locals and I would recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself! read more

For a hole in the wall place, really good food and coffee. Hard to find in the rushed quick fix Sydney lifestyle.

This is another phenomenal coffee bar. I only wish they hadn't put cocoa powder on my cappuccino.

Good coffee, usually pretty busy and good food. Had the avo on toast and a salted caramel cronut which was very rich but yummy.

I often go there go a coffee, staff is friendly, coffee is made quickly and it is good. Their croissant are pretty good, crusty and can feel the butter. As French I liked it as it is not always the case in Australia. read more

During our 5 days in sydney, my fiancé and I tried a different coffee shop each day. It is unfortunate that this was our last stop, because it was our favorite by far! We both got a strong latte and split the salmon avocado bruschetta. Even though it was a bit pricey, it was enough food for us to share, and so delicious. read more

I go here from time to time, and while the coffee is generally pretty good, the sheer number of people converging outside is off putting. Suggest you go out of prime time and see what you think yourself read more

I have to get a cup of latte with one sugar nearly everyday. Nice coffee & friendly staff

We enjoyed a mocha and soy latte. Both tasted great, staff were friendly, however I thought the coffee was a little overpriced.

Best takeaway coffee near town hall, they do some very good sandwiches and cookies etc.

If you need breakfast on the run when you are in the city then this is the place to go. Definitely check out the bacon and egg roll with Chilli Jam. The place doesn't look like much. Literally a hole in the wall. Great coffee and also opens nice and early if you are having an early start. read more

For these guys to keep up with demand, particularly during the rush hours, you know they have to be good. And then you taste their fantastic coffee, and you know you've made the right decision. A small place, so not much room for sit-ins with friends, but great for takeaway coffee. read more

Single origin coffee and a chorizo roll. Can't go wrong.
