Project 8 Cafe - Ultimo

I visited the coffee shop on a quiet Monday morning and only saw a couple of people stopping by for takeout during the hour I was there. We ordered two coffees that were both delicious. The iced latte had a nutty flavor with milk-based espresso, while the cold drip coffee had a fresh, sour, fruity taste. The barista was quick, friendly, and accommodating. The modern decor of the space provided many Instagram-worthy photo opportunities. I liked the cold drip coffee so much that I bought a bag of their coffee beans to use for my home brew filter. The 250g bag of coffee beans cost $18.

During the current lockdown, this restaurant is only open for takeout orders. I found it to be very quiet when I visited and ordered an afternoon piccolo for myself. The coffee was actually quite good and the decor was pleasing as well. I even thought it would make a nice Instagram picture.

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!

Gorgeous little find and a local gem. Make sure you pop downstairs to eat in the beautiful garden out the back. Great food, excellent burgers on the menu, ace beans and the staff are top notch too!

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!
