Sample coffee is great! They have very good and convenient subscription packages and their beans are top notch. I’ve had a subscription for a bit over a year and have loved the batches made from their beans.
Situated at the end of a row of bigger cafes and restaurants, this small shop packs a big punch. Sample is the name and the range or samples of the coffee are superb! Always something new, always well brewed, always open for a friendly chat. If you’re looking for a long black, this is the place to go!
One of the best coffee roasters in Australia. I have tried many specialty coffee roasters over the years, and I can safely say that no one comes close to the complete experience Sample Coffee offers. Coffee - Brew Crew Subscription. Their omni-roasted beans from the brew crew subscription has been a perfect fit for me. For someone who alternates between doing a V60 Filter and also doing Espresso, this is a huge bonus having beans / roast that can do both without me buying two separate beans for the use cases. The quality of the beans and flavour profile of the coffee it produces is also great. I've had many great comments from friends and family when I make them a cup. Subscription - Their subscription service and functionality on the website is also one of the best I've used. It's simple and straight forward in setting up the subscription. It's also super useful that I can change my delivery dates if I need more beans, or if I need to delay deliveries because I'm not using them as quick as I anticipated. It's all done via the simple UI on the website, with a few clicks. It's also quite fun receiving a new coffee every time with their Brew Crew subscription, because I never know what I end up with but it's always a fun surprise. Packaging - The packaging has been one of the most impressive things, and things that really make them stand out in the industry. Their gorgeous packaging always makes me excited to receive my order. From their personalised stickers to their sustainable box that has useful / interesting things printed i.e. brew guides, coffee regions, etc, to the personalised notes they add. It really makes for a pleasant experience receiving every delivery.
A small little cafe in Surry Hills serving good coffee here for many years since I can remember probably almost a decade. Good coffee, friendly & pleasant staff. Been here many time they use their signature Pacemaker Espresso Blend for their black and milk coffee. The milk coffee have the tasting notes of Malteser, shortbread & vanilla. Other than coffee they sell some small bites like croissant, donuts, cookies & pastries. Good place for quick bites, light snacks and coffee catchup.
Had a piccolo this morning that was the best I’ve ever had! Served in a cute little cup, I was in heaven. The almond croissant was also the best ever. So fresh, no need to toast it as it was crunchy and delicious.
The tick of approval from a Melbourne coffee lover, Sample is as close to home as you can get. Really likes their coffee subscription offering as well, a great way to try their different roasts.Food: 5/5
One of the best coffees in Sydney. Had a delicious oat milk flat white, smooth as silk! Friendly fella working there too!
Had wanted cappuccino but got served a long black instead but was a beautiful mistake. Best coffee of the trip!
You cannot call yourself a specialty coffee roaster if you don’t have light roast beans, and not even know why light roast is necessary. Staff were so confused when I asked for light roast and were rude. So embarrassing for you. Reply: Your staff said all of your beans are omniroasted, so that’s a you problem. No one that drinks black pour over coffees wants omniroasted beans.
A charming branch of Sample coffee. Good coffee and attentive and pleasant staff. Visited twice and was extremely pleased with the service I received. My new CBD cafe!
