Coffee and drinks
Reviewers say the coffee is smooth and well balanced, with silky milk, and one calls it above average for Sydney. The roaster is Chambers Fine Coffee. Latte art is a regular feature, with detailed designs on milk drinks.
Wednesday 6am run club with One Playground
The cafe runs a 6am run club with One Playground on Wednesday mornings. Its Sunday brunches are slow and often run into the afternoon, so it is a good place to stay for a long meal with friends or family.
A recycled fit-out
The fit-out is 90% reclaimed materials. A neon Alma sign hangs over the counter, and timber panels line the walls of the seating area. The espresso machine sits at the front counter in plain view, and the room is warm and relaxed with a mix of tables and banquette seating.
