Coffee Alchemy's Sydenham Road café in Marrickville has tall street-facing windows, a long timber counter, teal walls and pew seating. It is larger and brighter than the former Addison Road shop.
Hazel de los Reyes's roasting operation supplies the café with blends and single-origin coffees. Bags of beans are displayed beside the bar, making it easy to combine a drink with a purchase for home.
Coffee
The bar serves espresso, milk drinks and filter from the house-roasted range. Compare the current single origins with the blends before choosing a bag; the selection changes with the roasting programme.
Service & Room
Street-facing windows light the counter and pew seats. The layout suits a short sit or a beans purchase. Food is a smaller part of the offer, so check the current menu before planning a meal.
Elsewhere in Sydney
Gumption in the Strand Arcade serves the same roasting operation in the city centre. Choose Marrickville for the larger café, or the Strand counter when your route stays in the CBD.
