Paramount Coffee Project occupies the foyer of Paramount House on Commonwealth Street in Surry Hills. High ceilings, polished concrete, white tiles and timber tables create a large, bright dining room.
Guest-roaster coffee sits alongside a seasonal breakfast and lunch menu. The space works for a meal and a second cup, with counter service also accommodating takeaway orders.
Coffee
The bar rotates coffees from Australian and international roasters. Check what is available for espresso and filter when you arrive; a changing selection is the reason to return.
Filter
A filter order gives you a way to try a different coffee from the espresso offering. Ask about the current beans and allow time for the preparation if you are staying for breakfast.
Food
Crumbed eggs and fried chicken with waffles sit alongside seasonal plates and house-made banana bread. The kitchen makes this a substantial breakfast or lunch stop. Check the current menu rather than expecting every past signature to be available.
Service & Room
Communal timber tables and window seats provide several ways to use the foyer. It is a busy dining room, so allow time to find a seat at peak breakfast hours.
