Bruno ZJune 7, 2016Get in early on Saturday because there will be a little bit of a line starting at 10-10:30am. Food is great. Turmeric latte tea was good, should try!
- Chung HoApril 23, 2015Great range of coffee options - 3 different blends to pick from for espressos, etc. And the filters are pretty good. The fried chicken and waffles had meh waffles but good chicken.
Iain MacGibbonMay 15, 2016This was even better than expected. The crumbed poached eggs were superb with the pickled hock. Add a superb coffee and now I understand why there was a queue when we left.
Grab a seat by the window and watch Surry Hills walk past. PCP’s espresso is fantastic, but it’s definitely worth trying a filter coffee. It's like wine: ask for their advice on which to try.
with different coffees by different roasters all the time, there's always something fresh; they're wonderfully serious about coffee: take it black or white and they'll make it right for either option
Ruben Garcia MohedanoFebruary 1, 2015Awesome atmosphere. Organic high cuisine, so watch out what you order. PCP Benedicts for example are not for everyone. Leave some space and get a glazed Cronut for desert
Sara RadakovicNovember 24, 2018Delicious avocado toast with crumb egg and bacon. A bit busy during the weekends but it’s still worth waiting for!
Superb Coffee and spectacular food. People queue from 9am on the weekend so go during the week or get here early
Adam ChuckJune 20, 2014Fit out is sweet, with a Tokyo bicycle store at the back. Coffee takeaway sizes are smaller than usual, and my first coffee from here is borderline hot milk, maybe a one off. Will have to try again.
Jessica MironMarch 3, 2015Received amazing service from a woman (shame I didn't catch her name) - remembered our coffee orders the next day and the food is delicious! Busy on weekends. Very cool interior.
Hendy OngkodjojoOctober 19, 2013The Cajun spiced blackened fish is good, the waffles based dishes are disappointing, quite bland. Interesting take on their outsourced coffee roasting concept with various roasters involved.
Kunal MirchandaniJanuary 18, 2016Delicious pork tacos and brunch options make this a reliable Surry Hills cafe anytime of the day!
- Mel McFebruary 11, 2014Trendy place with creative menu - not the usual fare. We sampled the Avo on Rye, Cuban, Strawberry Soda & Konga coffee. The food was speedy, but overall service a bit lax. Maybe better next visit?
JacquesAugust 5, 2017Industrial setting with attentative service. Tumeric & ginger latte was good. High chairs are not very comfortable.
Alexandra LeiteSeptember 23, 2015This is one of the most beautiful coffee shops in Sydney. Come to hang, watch a movie or just for farmers market in Saturday's!
kate kDecember 4, 2016Crumbed deep-fried soft-boiled eggs on pulled ham hock and kale on toast. Indulgent, but a little on the oily and heavy side.
Just lovely! Great coffee, great atmosphere and the butter chicken waffle is so great !!
Coffee was a bit inconsistent today :(. Hotdog are great for kids. Succulent fried chicken with slaw!! Something more substantial - order blacken fish with potato salad
The fried chicken and Soft shell crab po boy are must orders, non negotiable, they are that good.
Good coffee and food, but be aware there’s a 10% surcharge all weekend, 1.5% card fee and no split payments.
David RJanuary 8, 2019Great ambiance with solid coffee and food to go along with it. Can not recommend the chicken and waffle enough!
Find a spot by the window and grab a soft shell crab po boy with juicy 'slaw.
Not your usual bacon and eggs establishment! Great coffee, great food, great team!!
James SteeleSeptember 23, 2015It's straight up cool, food and coffee are fantastic, reasoanably priced
Florian SängerJanuary 14, 2016PCP's cold drip comes as a generous serving which is great to take away and chill in a park 😁
- Mel McOctober 1, 2015Service was better second time. Two rounds of great coffee and a tea says it all 👌
Moayad AlnuwaysirJuly 10, 2018The butter they use with toasts is really good and tasty, as well as the peanut butter.
Marcus JørgensenNovember 22, 2015The buttermilk chicken waffle is definitely worth a try! Funny but amazing combination!
Some of Sydney's best coffee. In Resident roasters like Square mile make this a destination. They know their stuff.
David FischerAugust 10, 2014The eggplant cheese schnitzel is a piece of art. Sauce is pretty spicy though.
John BoothJanuary 17, 2015Nice open setting, good for brunch and good selection of coffee's, try a pour over
Kason WongSeptember 27, 2013Delish Philly cheese sandwich and the PB&J milkshake is yummy. But I would prefer the shake much thicker though.
BommyMarch 18, 2019Crazy wait times on weekends. You have to wait if you want a seat, regardless of if you get food or just drinks.
Betty CJune 21, 2014I went there three months ago and I'm still thinking about that soft shell crab burger!
- Thomas KriegelFebruary 20, 2014Cinnamon doughnut and breakfast soda have some interesting flavours. Very good.

"Brewtown. New to Newtown! Single origin and blends served up with home baked goodies like Boston cream pie cronuts! Beet cured trout with avocado is also very worthy of praise."
