Step into the heart of Sydney at the Nth Degree Cafe, a charming coffee haven located at 227 Elizabeth St. This quaint cafe is not just a stop for your morning caffeine fix but a delightful experience that invites you to savor each sip and bite.

Known for its outstanding coffee, Nth Degree Cafe serves up a rich selection of hot drinks that cater to every palate. Whether you're indulging in a creamy Cappuccino (A$3.00) that comes with beautifully textured milk, or a robust Long Black (A$3.00) that boasts intense flavors, you're guaranteed a royal taste experience. The Macchiato (A$3.00) is also a must-try, especially when you crave a delightful blend of bold espresso and delicate foam.

If you're feeling a bit peckish, the menu includes an array of freshly toasted breads. From Multigrain and Turkish (A$4.00) to the indulgently sweet Raisin Bread, each option bursts with flavor and nutrition. For those with a penchant for pastries, the Croissants—whether stuffed with Cheese & Tomato (A$6.00) or Ham & Cheese (A$7.00)—will transport your taste buds to a Parisian bakery.

The atmosphere at Nth Degree Cafe is as inviting as the menu. Nestled in an office building, it strikes a perfect balance between a bustling cafe and a cozy retreat. Customers paint a picture of friendly interactions, enthusiastic recommendations, and a genuine sense of community. As Emily Wmpi perfectly summed it up, this cafe feels more like a gathering place than a commercial coffee shop. The cheerful staff, especially the attentive baristas, ensure that your visit is personal and memorable, updating you on the latest promotions and sweet treats.

Many patrons, like Jorge Martinez, rave about the speedy service and the fresh, appetizing menu offerings. His endorsement of the Smashed Avocado Toast paired with a Latte encapsulates the cafe’s commitment to quality. Plus, the all-day breakfast options are guaranteed to satisfy early risers and late brunchers alike.

Although breakfast hot items are served from 7 am, the early opening at 6 am allows for prepped cold food and inviting drinks that kickstart your day right. As Don Chiou rightly mentioned, it’s a hassle-free spot to grab your morning essentials.

For those seeking a welcoming atmosphere, delicious food, and great coffee, look no further than Nth Degree Cafe. It's a must-visit when you're in Sydney, whether you're looking to take a break from office hours or seeking a cozy corner to enjoy a cup of brew. Don’t miss out on indulging in this local gem!

I love coming to this shop to buy green tea because the front staff here are amazing!!!!!, especially the guy with glasses and the guy who makes the coffee. They're always so friendly and make sure to update me about the latest promotions and recommend tasty sweets. They’re always cheerful and engaging with me and other customers, making it feel like more than just a coffee shop. It feels like I’m catching up with friends. I would highly recommened this cafe!!!!!

Nice little place in an office building most of the staff were very welcoming and sweet. The food was actually very good and I would recommend and I didn’t expect from a small place like this. The atmosphere is okay but a little weird being in an office but mostly expected. I’d come back here! Also very cheap!

Wow! What a gem of a place. Great coffee and delicious breakfast. The service was friendly and food came out quick, and it was obvious it was freshly made with fresh and healthy looking ingredients. I had the Smashed Avo toast and a Latte. Both of them were superb. I’ll surely be back during my visit to Sydney.

6am opening is only for coffee/drinks and pre-prepped cold food, their hot food is not available until 7am. Google says 6am open (yes), website says 7am (which I guess reflects their food menu probably more accurately). Maybe update (if possible somewhere) so people aren't under the impression 6am is for everything. I thankfully was not in a rush, so could afford to wait, and the staff were friendly, and apologetic about not having the hot cooked food available until then. I was able to order at 6:50am (their Big Brekky) and it got to my table at 7:09am, but I wasn't sure if it was that it took 19 minutes to cook, or 9 minutes to cook because their cook didn't start until 7....? Once again, thankfully not in a rush. I did order an iced coffee, I asked for it to be made how they liked it, and they asked if I wanted just ice or with ice-cream, so I ended up with ice-cream. The coffee seemed like a double-shot, it was quite a dark roast or a little on the burnt side, strong, but having the ice-cream helped balance and mellow it out some. Good sized cup for the $7. The Big Brekky for $13, while the website is still saying $11 (sure, understandable for price increase, but please update your pricing online), is still pretty solid value for what you get. Looked like 2 eggs or so in the scrambled eggs, some bacon, some mushroom, some spinach, half a tomato, one hash brown, and a slice of sourdough (had a choice of white, brown, seeded). Eggs cooked nicely, bacon cooked reasonably (I do prefer mine a bit more crispy, but I didn't specify), mushrooms and greens a little undercooked for me, not soft/wilted enough. Tomato was cooked, a little firm, a little soft. Hash brown was very crispy. For what it was, reasonably happy for the price when you could expect similarly at other cafes in the city for closer to $20. As such, both decent portion sizes, reasonably well cooked, friendly staff, worth the four stars.

Located in a lobby of a building with seats scattered to a couple of different areas. Good coffee and a nice breakfast fare, if a pretty standard selection.

Lovely cafe in bustling Sydney CBD. They serve a variety of hot food lunches and also grab and go sandwiches and salads from the fridge. Coffees were nice and they serve Campos beans that are really high quality. The cafe itself has a lot of clientele and is popular with working folks. The owners and staff are very friendly, accommodating and warm. Would drop by again next time I want a fresh and reasonably priced lunch!

Stopped here for breakfast on the way to the airport. Friendly and quick service, very generous vegetarian big brekky. Great if you want an unpretentious choice in the heart of the city, lots of locals coming in for takeaway, can see why it’s popular!
