Marlowe's Way

Yes my coffee was well done with care. The barista took his time pouring the milk and the temperature was good. By now most places know that coffee is my jam, it can either trigger my artistic moodiness when done wrongly or happy Julie, happy world when done right.

This young man got it right. Thank you buddy good coffee made my day :)

As for the atmosphere, it is quite literally like being home in Melbourne or Berlin. It’s warm and cozy gives you a sense of nostalgia of the 80’s also.

Lastly, the owner I think, he was hospitable and friendly which I liked.. Thanks once again I might drop by when in the area.

Terrific coffee shop in the CBD. Funky will cool, old style jazz music and very very good coffee.

Great staff, service is good, love the food and coffee. Nice little coffee shop come bar with a quirky vibe.
Particularly love their toasted chicken sandwich and their mini brioche’s

Granola Pot was a work of art … and it tasted as good as it looked!
Marlowe’s Way is a hidden gem in Tank Steam way — a great place for breakfast and/brunch. Staff and owner were very courteous and accommodating. I enjoyed the ambiance and the coffee as well.

Nice ice chocolate 💯, It’s cozy

Tried hidden cafe in Wynyard.
Cosy atmosphere, beautiful coffee!
I’ll trying toastie next time when I come back :)

Wow! What a gem! Found this place by accident and what an awesome surprise . Toasties delicious, independent cafe, great music, good atmosphere and nice staff. Good ingredients, done simply with a smile. What more could you want! I’ll be back :)

Love this place….10/10 coffee (strong but not bitter), a quiet lane way location with some outdoor seating AND great music/record collection (Motown/ Jazz/ funk)!!

Small little cosy cafe tucked away at the side of a beautiful colonial building.

Why you shouldn’t miss this this place.
*great service! 10/10 awareness from the guy who served us, offered to lock the back door to let us have more space for our toddler in a stroller, took the initiative to take our order at the table( by right you should queue and order at the cashier )

*speed of service. Fast! Clearly they are well liked by the office crowds, all their orders are completed within if not under 4 mins!

*toasties! Awesome tasting toasties!

*atmosphere! Playing music with vinyl! What a vibe!

Definitely the place you want to go if you want to sip coffee with the locals. This hidden gem in downtown Sydney served the best lattes we tried on our trip. The music, s artwork and pictures added to ambiance as did the great customer service. The ham, egg and cheese toastie was delicious, and the Handsome Devil's hotsauce complimented it well.

Marty and the team have built a beautiful business here - it’s a real pleasure every single day coming and getting my morning coffee here and the music is pretty sweet too - I’m sure there’s many around our little corner of inner Sydney who feel the same : ))))

Best cafe with great service and cool vibe. Always playing good music and reliable flow of coffee.

Excellent coffee, great vibes, phenomenal ham and cheese croissant

A chill way to spend a Thursday night. Wasn't very busy but I didn't mind - staff pay attention to your needs. Loved the fact they have a DJ who looks happy to be there, flexibility with what pizzas they offer, and a nice pinot at a fair price. My friend was here just yesterday and they remembered his name. A nice touch.

Really awesome atmosphere, playing sweet tunes through a great little sound system and serving top level coffee and food.

They've started opening of an evening again on Thursdays where you grab a drink and listen to great DJs spinning old soul and grooves on vinyl.

5/5 coffee. Not a lot of space for dining fyi

Hands down the best coffee ever. I’ve never had a burnt coffee here (I always ask for oat milk too). Even the cafes I’ve tried in Melbourne don’t compare to marlowes way, I swear they’re putting crack in there or something I don’t understand how their coffee is so consistently good. Maybe I should move back…

Great little hidden Cafe in Sydney CBD. Good people, great coffee. Havent actually had food here but i would defs try. Really nice vibes. Cute little outdoor seating in back alley and plays good music. They have decaf. No high chairs. Independent and family owned. Also looks like they have a liquor license sooooo maybe get a wine too!

Carefully selected music playlist, high chairs at the bar and creamy long black were a perfect combination for my afternoon visit here. Would love to come back again.

The Tank stream just below - colony of sydney's first fresh water source for a few decades - Eora peoples water source for hundreds of generations too :)
