Sydney’s coffee scene has always been top-tier, but now it’s official—Toby’s Estate in Chippendale has been crowned The World’s Best Coffee Shop at the inaugural World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops awards in Madrid.
Beating out cafes from across the globe, the Chippendale flagship roastery and café took home the top spot, judged on coffee quality, barista experience, customer service, innovation, ambience, sustainability, and food offerings. With its signature island brew bar, overhead mirrors for watching the baristas work their magic, and a behind-the-scenes view into the roastery, it’s no wonder this coffee haven is getting international recognition.
