Best New Cafés in Sydney: January 2024
Salumerie
Fresh, handmade bread, deli meats and cheese - Salumerie is slinging the holy trifecta and we can't think of anywhere we'd rather be come lunchtime. Shop deli bits and pieces to-go or settle in for a freshly made sandwich and coffee. Our picks are the Napoli (prosciutto di parma, rocket, stracciatella, shaved parmesan, olive oil EVOO) and vodka polpette (polpette in vodka ragu sauce, buffalo ricotta, rocket, saved parmesan, eggplant a fungheto).
Hang tight for nights at Salumerie coming soon!
Sitchu Tip: Get there early to secure the goods - you're not the only salami lover in town!

Marani Deli
How does a deli specialising in local, Italian, French and Georgian cheese, charcuterie and provisions sound? For us, it's heaven.
Founded by Alex Grenouiller (ex-Cafe Paci, Penny's Cheese Shop), Marani Deli is a homage to Alex's childhood spent in Lyon, France, as well as his partner's Sicilian heritage. Family and meals shared are the inspiration behind the provisions store where anyone and everyone are welcome. Baguettes, panni's and deli snacks are available for lunching whilst locally made artisan works are also available to shop in-store. A lunchtime destination for sure!

Kosta's Roseberry
Spreading the Kosta's love even further throughout Sydney, these good people have just opened an outpost in the back streets of Roseberry. What's Kosta's about? The simple and delicious joy of a good sandwich - the two-hander, bursting with top-notch fillings kind. The menu shifts regularly but you can expect panko crumbed shnitty sandwiches, Super Deli sandwiches and poached chicken and slaw beauties.

Fabbrica Bread Shop
If there is anyone we trust with our daily bread it's going to be our favourite pasta store. Fabbrica Bread Shop is the newest kid on Sydney's bakery scene but they're already killing it. Score hot coffee, flaky croissants, pain au chocolat, focaccia and metre-long pizza alongside their ever-popular pasta packs. They are also slinging one-off bakes from fairy bread croissant pudding brûléed, topped with maple syrup and sprinkles, to white chocolate and almond frangipane scrolls. Get in early as they're only open until they sell out - and they sure do!

Oh Boy Café
Just in time for spring, Sydney's iconic Andrew Boy Charlton Pool has revamped their poolside café and it is looking schmick!
Overlooking Woolloomooloo Bay, Oh Boy is the ideal spot to while away your springtime weekends. Along with a menu revamp, Oh Boy have introduced a new bottomless brunch offering that is available Friday to Sunday.
Best of all, for the first time ever, you'll be able to order dishes straight to your sun lounger. Who needs Hawaii?! The incredibly chic interiors help the vibes along, too.
You can expect to dine on breaky classics, and heftier lunch options - think Angus Steak Sandwich and Spaghetti & Cuttlefish Ragu, alongside salads, poke bowls and cheeseburgers.
