Nice coffee right near the waterfront. They have a range of snacks and basic medications like sea sickness tablets and painkillers also.

Excellent oat milk caps and served with a warm smile. Perfect Sydney mid-morning to be sitting outside. Perfect way to spend with an overseas friend met first over 40 years ago. Proud of Sydney’s coffee and glad that Wharf cafe did not let down!

This little Wharf cafe is hidden fast coffee shop near the stairs between wharf 4 and Wharf 5 at king st barangaroo, There are three famous business centre buildings in barangaroo site, one, two and three. It is about 400m walk from building one. They are specialists making coffees. It also accepts special order, for example, there is specific order for matcha cappuccino with oat milk only took 2 mins and was ready. The coffee taste is good, not too strong, or weak, the temperature is also perfect.

Great cafe that’s been around since the heydays of king st wharf. One of the first cafes to adopt Toby’s estate when they were still a small roastery. Try the coffee it’s amazing.
