Mercure Sydney - Local Secrets: Coffee Runs

Local Secrets: Coffee Runs


Sydney’s best coffee isn’t found in chains or crowded high streets – it’s tucked into laneways, quiet corners, and neighbourhood cafés where locals start their mornings. Just a short walk from the hotel, you’ll find a handful of spots that showcase the city’s renowned coffee culture, from acclaimed roasters to small independent cafés. Whether you’re after a quick espresso before heading out or a slower start to the day, these nearby cafés offer some of the best coffee experiences in the area.

Dutch Smuggler is known for its specialty coffee and toasted sandwiches that regulars keep coming back for. It’s a compact, high-turnover spot that does the basics well, with consistently solid coffee and quick service.

Outta Coffee is a sleek, small café in Haymarket known for its specialty coffee and minimalist setup. It’s a low-key spot focused on well-made brews, often with a steady stream of regulars stopping by throughout the morning.

A short walk into Chippendale, Toby’s Estate is an established Australian coffee roaster with a strong reputation for quality sourcing and roasting. Its flagship café offers a range of brew methods and won gold at the World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala.

Hatch Espresso

Right next to Mercure Sydney, Hatch Espresso is a convenient grab-and-go café serving coffee, pastries and simple breakfast options. It’s a practical choice for guests looking for a quick and easy start to the morning.

Stitch Coffee

Sydney-based Stitch Coffee is known for its approach to blending, carefully combining beans with different flavour profiles to create balanced and layered coffees. You can find this cafe in Broadway, a short walk from Mercure Sydney.

 

Each café has its own style, but they all reflect what makes Sydney’s coffee scene so well regarded – quality beans, skilled baristas, and spaces locals return to every day. If you’re exploring the neighbourhood or simply looking for your next great cup, these nearby cafés are a great place to start.

Pro tip: Ask our front desk team for their personal favourites. We’re always happy to share our Local Secrets.
