Best Cafes in Potts Point

Tucked between the harbourfront and the buzz of Kings Cross, this offbeat pocket of Sydney may be small, but it makes up for what it lacks in size with its vibrant cafe culture. With an eclectic mix of bohemian charm and European flair, it’s the kind of place where slow mornings roll into afternoons over brewed coffee and avo on toast.

Here’s our edit of the best cafes in Potts Point that deserve a spot on your weekend hit list.

Piña 

Simple, understated, and effortlessly cool, Piña is the laneway sibling to Room Ten, located just across the road. They serve a drool-worthy all-day menu — think all your usual suspects as well as chilli oil scrambled eggs, curry omelette, and inventive sides like corn ribs with Calabrian chilli, lime and manchego. With an elegant indoor dining room, bar stools, and a covered al fresco area, it’s perfect for any mood. Bonus: it’s licensed, so you can swap your flat white for a spritz.

Dear Sainte Éloise, Shop 4/29 Orwell Street, Potts Point

Room Ten

While this beloved hole-in-the-wall is easy to miss at first, once you’ve found it, you’ll be back again, and again. It’s almost always buzzing — a testament to its cult following and the reason Piña was born — to handle the overflow. Locals flock for the fuss-free vibe, Mecca house blend, and rotating single-origin brews. The food follows suit — simple and satisfying, featuring a menu stacked with all-day brekky classics, toasties, and wholesome salads. 

10 Llankelly Place, Potts Point 

Anotherplace

Yes, the viral Dubai Chocolate latte and bagel put Anotherplace on the map, but there’s plenty more to love about this compact cafe. The coffee is top-notch, the matcha is a standout, and the bagels are downright delicious. Our pick? The truffle salmon bagel. It hits the spot every time. Heads up: Seating is outdoors only, so aim for a sunny day.

Coffee, Tea & Me

You may be beginning to sense a theme — Potts Points cafes tend to be on the smaller side. But small also means cosy, and Coffee, Tea & Me fits right in. With sister spots in Redfern and Bondi, this location brings the same kitsch charm and a similar crowd-pleasing menu, making it a favourite for inner-west and eastern suburbs’ kids who find themselves in the inner city. Expect Campos coffee, a solid tea selection, baked treats (don’t miss the macadamia blondie), and rotating bagels.

87C Macleay Street, Potts Point

Glider Cafe

This long-standing Potts Point cafe is a local favourite. The cafe offers a relaxed, retro vibe and a menu infused with fresh, zesty Thai influences. It’s ideal for warmer days, with vegan options and a selection of cold-pressed juices rounding out the offering.

197 Victoria Street, Potts Point

Primary Coffee

As the name suggests, coffee is the focus here. And while the vibey minimalist interiors are enticing enough, once you smell the aroma of freshly roasted beans, you simply won’t be able to resist popping in. They serve single origins as filter and espresso, with a seasonal Ethiopian-Colombian blend that’s a must-try. Unsurprisingly, there are no culinary distractions here, just great coffee and a croissant if you’re peckish. Don’t forget to grab a bag of beans to take home on your way out! 

1/9 Ward Avenue, Potts Point
