Satellite Expresso
One can only assume that the name ‘Satellite' in this case refers to the retro furniture, which in its 'hey day', would have been cutting-edge and futuristic. Think THE JETSONS and what modern day meant to man 30 years back.
To the local alternate set who prefer hunger holes that remain hidden from King Steet's view, Satellite definitely caters.
Scrambled
I initially went here on a recommendation from my BFF. She had a crush on the waiter and wanted to share her good fortune, having found herself a new coffee sweetener.
Seeing as though I like my coffee sugarless, all eyes were on the eggs - free range of course. Huge portions, good service, cool crowd and outdoor seating spilling onto the street.
Le Pain Quotidien
Surry Hills is no longer a one-bakery town, there's a new bread kitchen on the block and its dough is primed.
Le Pain Quotidien is a lofty bakery-restaurant so new that you can still smell its pine-tabled wax. Despite its size, there is something incredibly cosy about the interior. Coffee cups come handle-free - made to be cradled, menus rest in half-cut loaves and provincial jams sit ready for the spreading.
Allpress Espresso
We know - we're cafe sluts. We go on and on about the newest, the latest and the greatest. But do you realize how addictive caffeine is? Jesus, if heroin was legal you can bet there'd be a shooting gallery on every corner and massive public discourse as to who's got the best stash in town.
On a random street in a non-descript suburb, every weekday morning business people, construction workos, hipsters, mums and assorted fruitcakes stream out the door single file for the best fix in town.
Le Petit Creme
As the French say, ‘ La vie est comme une crêpe.' Or at least they could say that, but they don't, because it would just be stupid. Crêpes are so much better than life. The merde sandwich of existence hardly comes close to the beautifully textured, sugar and syrup covered delights that are served up at Le Petit Crème not to mention the consistently good coffee.
