Thirty Coffee - Paddington, Sydney

There's just something charming about the Paddington neighbourhood. It must be the small town vibe. Besides the beautiful location, it's home to many amazing restaurants and cafes like Thirty Coffee.

I've been eyeing Thirty Coffee ever since my homeboy Nick O'Neil announced he was opening his own joint. It took me a while to get there, but I'm so glad that I finally paid his cafe a visit. I love the whole exposed concrete Scandinavian interior along with the cool tunes playing in the background. Besides love for coffee, Nick and I share another interest: Love for burgers. So when I found out he does burgers too, I was there in a flash!

Piccolo latte

First let's talk about the coffee. They use the Reuben Hills OG blend for their coffees. It's a light roast coffee blend with a light to medium body. It came out vibrant and sweet in my piccolo latte ($3.50).

Spanish coddled egg

The menu is small but it has items with impact. Let's take the Spanish coddled egg ($16) for instance. The sweet and garlicky chorizo with notes of paprika flavour went perfectly with the soft boiled onsen egg and potato puree. Also loved dunking the baguette toasts in all that runny yolk and potato puree goodness!

Thirty cheese burger

The thirthy cheese ($15 for single patty and $19 for double) is one of the best classic cheeseburgers you can get near the Sydney CBD area. I went for a massive double! Double beef patty, double melted cheese, pickles, chopped onions, ketchup and mustard in a soft milk bun. The beef patties are coarsely minced with a nice slightly loose texture and juicy finish. The cheese and beef is well complimented by the sweetness of the chopped onion, sour pickles and tangy ketchup and mustard. Although the milk bun is soft, it also has a bit of body and so it holds the whole burg well. This is available all day from breakfast time!

Thirty Coffee is also known for their famous bacon & egg roll and I can't wait to go back to try that!
