A quiet cuppa. Heirloom hot chocolate, 70% dark. And… you get to watch nat geo playing silently over the projector. Amazing stuff. 💖💯

Coffee is always on point here. But the extra special facts is that they don’t charge for iced drinks and use smaller cup size for a small iced latte (to keep the coffee milk ratio balanced).
Highly recommend

Although it’s a batch brew it was still a sweet cup.

Best coffee in Sydney! Popped in here today for the first time since moving to Sydney. There was two staff members, both super friendly, cute seating area outside. Highly recommend for a great coffee.

One of the best coffee roasters in Australia. I have tried many specialty coffee roasters over the years, and I can safely say that no one comes close to the complete experience Sample Coffee offers.

Coffee - Brew Crew Subscription.
Their omni-roasted beans from the brew crew subscription has been a perfect fit for me. For someone who alternates between doing a V60 Filter and also doing Espresso, this is a huge bonus having beans / roast that can do both without me buying two separate beans for the use cases.

The quality of the beans and flavour profile of the coffee it produces is also great. I've had many great comments from friends and family when I make them a cup.

Subscription -
Their subscription service and functionality on the website is also one of the best I've used. It's simple and straight forward in setting up the subscription. It's also super useful that I can change my delivery dates if I need more beans, or if I need to delay deliveries because I'm not using them as quick as I anticipated. It's all done via the simple UI on the website, with a few clicks.

It's also quite fun receiving a new coffee every time with their Brew Crew subscription, because I never know what I end up with but it's always a fun surprise.

Packaging -
The packaging has been one of the most impressive things, and things that really make them stand out in the industry. Their gorgeous packaging always makes me excited to receive my order. From their personalised stickers to their sustainable box that has useful / interesting things printed (i.e. brew guides, coffee regions, etc), to the personalised notes they add. It really makes for a pleasant experience receiving every delivery.

Sample coffee is great! They have very good and convenient subscription packages and their beans are top notch. I’ve had a subscription for a bit over a year and have loved the batches made from their beans.

Situated at the end of a row of bigger cafes and restaurants, this small shop packs a big punch. Sample is the name and the range (or samples) of the coffee are superb! Always something new, always well brewed, always open for a friendly chat. If you’re looking for a long black, this is the place to go!
