Cafe$$$$ Single O is the Platonic ideal of the neighbourhood cafe and, for more than 20 years, the Surry Hills outpost has attracted a steady stream of long-time locals and international tourists.

The cafe doubles as a sustainable specialty coffee roaster, championing single origin beans and pioneering brewing technology. But it also does a great classic Aussie brunch, with a few twists such as yuzu in the eggs benedict (with smoked pork or trout) and banana bread with espresso butter. Must try: The signature oat milk cold brew.
