Project 8 Cafe

Visited on a early Monday - the coffee shop itself was a bit quiet. A couple of takeaways in an hour duration when I was there. We ordered two coffees and both were delicious. The iced latte tastes nutty with milk based espresso while the cold drip has a fresh sour fruity flavour. The barista was quick, friendly and accommodating. The space was decorated modern, I would say there are many very instagrammable photo spots. Also bought a bag of their coffee for my home brew filter because I loved the taste of my cold drip. $18 for 250g bag coffee.

Coming from Taipei where proper light roasted single origin hand pour is THE THING I was really missing that distinct notes and aroma from a properly brewed hand pour coffee. Not only are their roasted beans stunning but Tim also just made the most amazing hand pour coffee with the exact notes that’s supposed to be: chocolate, guava and floral. I finally got my fix of a proper hand poured coffee in Sydney!

This cafe is located in Broadway, Ultimo NSW, Australia. We had breakfast here and unfortunately the stairs to the garden were too steep for me to navigate so we sat near the entrance which made us smell of breakfast after the meal (we were directly opposite the grill). Service was friendly although we did get a surprisingly gruff cook when there was a misunderstanding about our order. This got sorted out quickly but one of our toasts was over done and hard. Otherwise, it was a pleasant breakfast

Really lovely atmosphere, which for the area is a nice surprise. There is a number of spots to sit, inside, outside, couches, bar stools, lots of options. Burger loves would be excited. I'm not a burger person so had a wrap which had good ingredients but I didn't realise it came toasted & I'm not a massive fan of cooked lettuce lol. There was also a surprise chilli kick. I look forward to ordering other items from the menu I.e. The salads sound good! Food came quickly, which is great as I only get a short lunch break. Price is medium - wrap was $14.50 (see menu in my photographs) Finally great to see there isn't a surcharge for using your Credit/Debit Card!

Don't let the entrance (or the front part) of this place fool you. It may look small, but go in, go through the back and you'll be met with a small and cozy beer garden. There's also other little rooms that fits a small number of people. The Burgers are good. My fave breakfast burger is the Spicy BBQ Roll. The bacon is crispy, the egg gooey, the brioche bun nice and warm.... it's making my mouth water just describing the food. I also like their take-away coffee cups. They have some words of wisdom written on them. It brightens my day when I read them.
