Sydney's cafe scene is bigger than ever — here are five places to get a cup of coffee with your milk of choice
Ask any Aussie coffee drinker; we've entered the golden age of coffee. Cafes all around the country are putting a conscious effort into creativity on their menu, sourcing beans from farmers halfway around the world and considering more and more alternative milk solutions.
Alternative milk isn't purely a dietary choice. Many love the slightly sweet note that oat milk adds to coffee. So much so that it's taken the world by storm. One brand leading this charge is Oatly. It has created a network of 'oat dealers' all across Sydney and Melbourne to connect customers with cafes over a mutual love of coffee sans dairy.
So where can you find these oat dealers? In Sydney, they're spread throughout the Inner West at five local favourites.

This beloved Stanmore cafe is known for two things: a serious love for coffee and a seriously scrumptious set of toasties that rotate regularly. The cafe was opened by the team behind the coffee roaster, Made of Many, so all the beans are roasted in-house.
Those beans are sourced from a farm in Colombia. No matter the specific variety that the baristas are working with that day, you can expect rich, drinkable coffee in the form of your favourites like flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos. Brighter also has a few spins on filtered coffee, with fast, ‘s-l-o-w’ and iced options all on the table — all available with oat milk.

Part of a happy family of cafes in Sydney, Black Market Roasters Newtown is the little sibling to a larger Marrickville roastery and cafe. It boasts most of the same perks (sans coffee classes). Quality coffee? Check. Food? Check, from banana bread to a full-on Reuben sandwich.
On the coffee front, be it a humble latte, a classic cappuccino, a dirty chai or a matcha latte, you can get it here and get it with oat milk.
Black Market is also a well-known and beloved roastery. At this location, you can buy beans by the bag or level up your coffee skills and splurge on its range of coffee equipment available to purchase.

Hidden behind Enmore Road in a sleepy backstreet, Soulmate is standout in the stacked Inner West cafe scene. The work of the accomplished team behind some of the best cafes in northwest Sydney — Good Fella and The Tuckshop — this Phillip Street spot is a go-to for good coffee and loaded sandwiches. Just be warned that getting a table on the weekend is an uphill battle.
On entry, you’ll notice two taps that would fit right in at any of Enmore or Newtown’s beloved pubs, but instead of beer, these are pouring cold brew. They fit into a drinks menu that includes all of your standard oat-milk-compatible coffees, batch brew, smoothies and cold-pressed juices. There’s also a creation called The McHenry, which is hot or cold black coffee topped with whippy.

Superfreak is, as it self-describes on Instagram, “a Marrickville eatery that gets a little freaky.” That is plain to see when you actually visit the cafe, with its healthy yet scrumptious menu (deli sandwiches, stocked cabinet of sweet treats and more) and vintage-style interior (fluffy barstools, who would’ve thought?).
The Superfreak team earned its place on the oat dealer roster with all the variety we’ve come to expect from cafes in Sydney’s Inner West: batch brew, cold brew, matcha, chai, espresso — there’s a brew for everyone, with or without oat milk.

Any sweet treat aficionado in Sydney ought to know the name Tokyo Lamington. The brand has made a name for itself with its signature treat: a cube lamington with all sorts of flavours and an air of Japanese minimalism.
Its Marrickville location is its concept bakery, and so is all about opening up its doors to a new range of possibilities. Of course, coffee is served by local oat dealers, making it suitable for a spontaneous treat run in the morning. The food is the specialty here, so grab a yuzu meringue lamington or a teriyaki chicken sausage roll to pair with your morning oat milk latte.
Explore all these venues through the Oatly oat dealer network, which will be active from Monday, September 16, to Sunday, September 22. For more information, to hear oats mooing, leave a message or redeem a code for a free oat coffee at participating cafes, dial 1800-OATFIX
