The café is the brainchild of Something for Jess owner Philip Ocampo, and I had been waiting with bated breath to see who would take over the space, so it would be an understatement to say that I was keen to check the place out. Something for Jess is one of my favourite recent cafés, and their reputation is such that their very particular single origin coffees and glorious (and local) constructions of ‘stuff on toast’ have made their way on to most Sydney café addicts’ wish lists, so comparisons between Cubao and SFJ are inevitable. So too are comparisons between Cubao and the space’s former tenants, zero waste wunderkinds Frank Meura and Rebecca Chippington of Little Indi/Naked Indiana. So how does Cubao compare?]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/05/jess-to-cubao-alexandria/feed/ 2 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/02/the-reformatory-caffeine-lab-surry-hills/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/02/the-reformatory-caffeine-lab-surry-hills/#comments Fri, 14 Feb 2014 06:37:33 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=6335 ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2014/02/the-reformatory-caffeine-lab-surry-hills/feed/ 5 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/stay-caffeinated-over-christmas/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/stay-caffeinated-over-christmas/#comments Fri, 20 Dec 2013 06:13:38 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=6253 Never fear, the coffee list is here!

You’ll find it on the ground floor or the iconic Strand Arcade on Sydney’s Pitt and George Streets. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/cafe-review-gumption-by-coffee-alchemy-sydney-cbd/feed/ 9 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/3-williams-redfern/ http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/3-williams-redfern/#comments Fri, 06 Dec 2013 07:48:52 +0000 http://www.corridorkitchen.com/?p=6185 It’s interesting to watch the buzz around a new cafe build over time. The first few times I popped in to Three Williams in Redfern, it was pretty empty, but then again, it’s a fair bit larger than your average Redfern haunt. Locals and cafe addicts were coming and going and I could see that interest was building. Last week, my instagram feed was littered with brekky porn shots from the soon-to-be Redfern fixture, street press had written them up, and last Sunday arvo I walked past and there was not a table to spare. ]]> http://www.corridorkitchen.com/2013/12/3-williams-redfern/feed/ 6
