This global accolade places Australian coffee firmly on the world stage, with two other Australian cafes also making the top 10: Proud Mary in Melbourne (4th place) and Coffee Anthology in Brisbane (8th place). In total, nine Australian coffee shops earned a spot on the coveted list.
Toby’s Estate has been a pioneer in the specialty coffee scene for over 25 years, growing from humble beginnings in a Woolloomooloo garage to a global brand with cafes in Brisbane, Singapore, the Middle East, the Philippines, and Melbourne. However, the Chippendale location remains the heart of the operation.
What sets the Chippendale flagship apart? Toby’s Estate aims to provide more than just a caffeine fix; they offer an immersive coffee experience. Features include an island brew bar that fosters interaction between customers and baristas, a visible roastery where visitors can witness the coffee-making process, and a menu of high-quality food items designed to complement the world-class coffee.
“It’s our playground, our HQ, and now, officially, the best coffee shop in the world,” Leslie added.
Coffee enthusiasts are encouraged to visit the award-winning cafe at 32-36 City Rd, Chippendale, Sydney, and experience the world’s best coffee for themselves. Toby’s Estate also hosts free monthly coffee tastings for those wanting to delve deeper into the art of coffee.
