Masters Street Coffee

Any serious specialty coffee place knows beans should not be a one-size-fits-all option for their different brews. One kind of roast and grind, for example, won't necessarily work as well for a long black as it does a milky latte, which is why Masters St Coffee uses completely different brands for each.

The independent coffee haunt serves up Sydney roasteries Single O (usually used for black brews) and Reuben Hills (for its milky numbers) daily as well as a number of regularly rotating guest roasters.

Coffee is the primary focus here, but a selection of sweets (like Nutella-filled doughnuts, Butterbings and danishes) can sometimes be found at the counter to tempt you.

Grab and go or sit in at one of the few tables set out in this little nook on Masters Street in Newstead and take your time.
