About Single O
Roasting since ’03, outta our Surry Hills café back in the day & now in Botany. This here main page covers coffee, food, cafés & did we mention coffee.
Single O Description
Welcome to Single O (we've dropped the 'rigin roasters' bit).
We opened in 2003 in Surry Hills & spun a few customers out with our fruit driven blend, affection for our then-roaster named Boris & our range of single origins. Thankfully people warmed to it all & today, in addition to our Surry Hills café & brew bar, We have a roastworks in Botany, where we roast for like-minded coffee folk. In 2015 we hit the town with a café on York St in Sydney CBD, too.
We are forever sourcing, sampling, cupping, roasting, measuring, calibrating, tweaking, blending & tasting. For all our joking-around, we take our coffee damn seriously.

Sparks will fly! Firecracker, our special Japan summer blend. This juicy coffee pays tribute to the classic summer shenanigans in Japan - shave ice, street parades, bon odori & night-stopping fireworks. We've pinched a little from our Tokyo tasting bar to share with you at the cafe and online.
FIRECRACKER ready for launch! Our Tokyo & Sydney crews came together to create a seasonal blend tribute to Japanese ‘Natsumatsuri’ festival. First roast Monday and online for pre-order today - bit.ly/2m9n9Sk

Last May, we set ourselves a goal – to cut our single use cup waste in half by the end of May 2018, and one year on, the results are in.
Okay, so we didn’t quite hit our goal, but we did manage a 47% to be proud of!
A MASSIVE congrats to everyone who’s opted for re-usable cups so far. Find out the honest truth from the year’s cup achievements & challenges.
Down with the single use cup holders!?
Back in ‘09, we built these babies to speed up service & get your single-use-cup takeaway coffees over the counter quick smart, but how times have changed with the rise of reusables. We’re ready to get rid of them when you are.

Help us make the cut by May 31st!
BYO cup, hang around for a short stay or borrow an imperfect ceramic from us. Anything but a takeaway cup!

Dropped in on a Saturday morning for a takeaway coffee, after reading and hearing good reviews. As much as I like your coffee and your staff appear friendly, I can't say I was impressed with the service. Even if I excuse the 15 minute wait for my order, I can't accept that the 3 customers who placed their order after me received it before me.
