An increasingly popular brunch spot in Sydney is Paramount Coffee Project, and as you can imagine, people speak very highly of the coffee here. I decided to try out the quirky restaurant while meeting my dear friend. Paramount Coffee Project actually has a really special place in my heart, because it was here that my friend told me about him planning to propose to his girlfriend - my best friend. It was such a memorable morning, and even though the conversation would have happened anywhere, this cafe now brings a really wonderful experience to mind.

Went on a Sunday at around 11am and waited half an hour for a table, it was really busy. The coffee here is perfect and the food is also delicious.
đCRUMBED EGGS ON TOAST ($17.5) A very popular dish here and I can understand why. It was full of so much flavour.
đłSOFT BAKED EGGS w/ PORK SAUSAGE ($21.5) This was a very tasty and hearty meal!
Overall experience was exceptional. Location and venue was amazing and very spacious. The baked eggs with pork sausage was delicious and the coconut porridge was amazing! Will definitely come back! :)
The crumbed eggs on toast had immediately leapt forth from the menu to catch my eye but the inclusion of ham hock had me ummâing and errâing. And while there was no vego option (or alternative dishes that I really, really wanted), I figured I could cast the meat aside if I really didnât like it, which is usually the case with thick meat cuts. But as it turns out, the smoky saltiness of the ham hock combined with the earthiness of the kale was a delicious, moreish flavour combination that worked really well with the eggs.
Love the coffee.Love the food.Love the ambience.
The staff were friendly and provided good service. Waiting time was fast, and the food is consistently good everytime we visit!
I was deciding whether to try their EOD but I really donât do well with black coffee so.... but this white coffee is still insanely good!! and I got the Bibi which might look plain here but once you add the sauce and mix it altogether, itâs really tasty. Healthy too đ
the crumbled eggs on toast is so good! everything is tasted.
but the vegan shake milk is too sweetđ sweet lover definitely will like it which taste like coco
Surry Hills is always a good place to find great breakfast or brunch. The plating is always so beautiful and colorful, the coffee is nice, and also the service
Best breakfast ever. The fermented tomatoes with vegemite cashew cream was to die for. The cool interiors and friendly service made this a great brekkie experience. Highly recommended.

Aesthetically pleasing cafe sitting in an artistic district with creative, eclectic brunch items that are surprisingly good. As soon as you walk in, the warm friendly staff and chill Sunday vibes will greet and welcome you into the spacious room filled with faded botanical lush. Menu included jambalaya, gumbo, miso ramen, and eggs on toast. While I really wanted to try the jambalaya, it was not available for vegetarians / pescatarians. I had the coconut chowder instead and it was absolutely amazing, even though the portion was quite small. I would never have thought that âcoconutâ and âchowderâ would go together, but the dish was at once savoury with a hint of freshness and sweetness from the coconut. Tasted a little like Thai curry, but I havenât really had anything like it. Comes with fried potatoes and prawns. Unfortunately there were only 2-3 pieces on prawns in it, which was not enough for me to feel the gratifying satisfaction that I was looking for in Sunday brunch, which admittedly could be quite an overindulgence. The pastry items honestly looked quite average, and I didnât go with them even though I could probably have used just a little more food.
Stopped in for lunch today. Staff were fantastic, food was excellent, drinks were amazing and coffee was super. Have run out of superlatives.

Since my original post, Iâve visited twice and and really enjoyed both times.
First time round I ordered the creole jambalaya, it was my first jambalaya and Iâm a fan. Itâs made up of black rice and a chorizo based chunky sauce which is then topped with veggies. It was really hearty and tasty.
The second visit brought more gastronomic adventures of the Ramen and Baked Eggs. The Ramen was miso based and relatively light. Nice and tasty. The baked eggs were nice and light with a good little crunch from the kale.
We got some sweets takeaway and the almond croissant was an absolute standout! Yum!
**Original Review**
The Paramount precinct has got it all. Hotel, cafe, health club and cinema.
Iâm going through all of them step by step and have to say they are all hitting the mark.
Today I sampled a few of their coffees.
The Magic has a good intensity and the milk was nice a creamy.
Had the single origin filter which which had a good punch to it.
The piccolo was good too, but I got it take away and it was a bit milky.
Good good breakfast place where everybody ate exactly what they wanted. Some basic dishes put up so differently made this experience so good for me. No cheap way yo, but definitely worth it.
Shared the chicken waffle and japanese burger with a friend and it was very filling! Service was great and portions were perfect. The chicken waffle was definitely the more interesting of the two. The waffle was sweet and crunch which worked perfectly with the sweet bacon sauce and fried chicken.
This cafe has a really nice interior, looks very natural and simplistic. The workers are friendly and prices are average. Their milkshakes are always good! Their pastries are pretty good as well! It definitely tastes better than it looks! Their banana bread was soft and the toppings actually went very well with the textures. Their avocado toast was fresh and the bread was crunchy. The french toast was soft and filling. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, a pretty good cafe to try out.
Can be very busy and waited a while to order but waitresses were very nice. Had the Japanese chicken burger which was very tasty. The grapefruit soda was ok but wouldn't recommend if you like sweet drinks. My friend had the coconut chowder and really enjoyed the prawns and potatoes and the soup was tasty.
One of my favourite places for breakfast / brunch in Sydney. Brings the Melbourne funk in the menu with some really damn good coffee. Staff are so cool and chilled, food might be out there for some but I really enjoy it. Worth a try on a Saturday morning.
Had a craving for fried chicken with waffles after watching Masterchef but found there are not that many place that serve it! Luckily Paramount is an exception. I had the buttermilk with crispy chats which was very filling. Also discovered a yummy Vegan milkshake made with almond milk, chocolate and coconut ice cream, couldn't get enough of it.
The atmosphere was amazing - it was busy, yet the staff nurtured us nicely and explained the menus to us in details.! The place is well decorated as well - simple yet with details. The food was amazing as well, cannot really remember the names, but they were nice! The ginger and turmeric was nice, it would be perfect if they have coconut milk.
This place is so spacious and constantly full of people. We shared some desserts - even the banana bread itself was a meal! Thickly sliced, perfectly toasted and just the right sweetness. I love that they also experiment with different flavoured shakes. The apple pie should definitely make another appearance.
The ambience of the PCP was lovely, great music taste, beautiful decor, such awesome staff and even though there was a wait for a table, staff were very accommodating. We ordered the BKE Roll, the bread was soft and sweet, the bacon was juicy, the sauce had a nice tang and kick to it and the kale provided a nice crispy texture. Lovely roll to start of the day!
Really love this place for its decor, ambience and the unique menu. Be prepared for a bit of a wait, they are very busy. We were greeted by very friendly staff (we have encountered not so friendly staff here before as well) and our dishes were super tasty and satisfying! Definitely worth coming back to try other items on the menu!
Absolutely lovely, would love to go back sometime. Chicken and waffle was my favorite, fried lotus chips and drinks were also great. Oddly eoungh they also have ramen?
No matter the food, desert, coffee or the atmosphere, it is a great place to go. These pictures were taken Long time ago. This used to be my favourable cafe, and I went there quite often
The venue is large and spacious with office kinda style ambience, itâs suitable if you have an office meeting over coffee here :). Great decor too with neutral colour throughout.
Came here for coffee and I found the coffee was quite good.
Loved this place! We were visiting from Melbourne and wanted to check out Sydneyâs cafe scene and this place did not disappoint. The coffee was delicious! The best we had in Sydney. The food was equally awesome! I had the crumbed eggs on toast and my partner had the baked eggs. The service was quick, professional and relaxed. The venue was also really lovely to look it. Wish this was in Melbs!
Iâve come to paramount every time Iâve visited Sydney and it never disappoints! The atmosphere is great, food and coffee delicious and service is good too. Only disappointment is no split bills.

Whilst PCP may be hard to find in the winding roads of Newtown, it is definitely worth a visit. I was greeted with adequate airconditioning in a high rise Melbournesque style cafe - though the bit of construction ensured we were still in Sydney.
I started with the coconut lime watermelon crush. The coconut was the main flavor of the drink, but it was refreshing and nicely sweet. I ordered the gumbo, a dish I had heard about from american youtubers but never actually seen offered. It was amazing! Althought I thought the fried chicken was a bit salty, it was cut through when eaten with the veggies included. Each mouthful was a delicious mix of well balanced flavours and textures. The buttered corn bread also deserves a shout out for being rich and moist. Thus, whilst not the most picturesque, the gumbo was worth it!
PCP boasts a unique menu that will satisfy those that prefer the lunch aspect of brunch moreso than breakfast. So if you're tired of avosmash/breakfast board/bacon+egg roll cafes, then defs give PCP a visit!
Atmosphere - Really enjoyed the spaciousness of the restaurant. Was quite minimalist and had ample natural lighting come through.
Food - Really enjoyed my brunch: egg, kale and sausages were cooked well and combined in a dish that made it delicious!
Service - All staff were friendly and attentive as required
Food: amazing food. Had the chicken waffle and Japanese chicken burger.
Ambiance: airy and spacious area with a lot seating by the bar or table.
Service: very friendly floor staff
Tried the miso ramen and the scrambled egg on toast. Love the miso ramen, the soup was so delicious, and the pork belly was also nice and crispy. The noodle was cooked perfectly. Will definitely come back for more!
Phenomenal experience at Paramount Coffee Project.
We came on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30 pm. It was a busy day but we managed to squeeze a corner at the table outside. We don't mind sharing spaces so this did not bother the three of us.
Service is very thorough and a couple of the ladies who served us were willing to make conversation and talk about the menu with us. Drinks and food came quickly.
We had two teas and the Golden Gaytime milkshake. The teas were barista-brewed and not astringent at all, amazing. The milkshake was also very good, very rich but not too sweet.
I've had their coffee a couple times before. All times were good!
All of us were extremely pleased with our meals. The Crumbed Eggs were as good as ever. The Miso Ramen was insatiable, very nice broth and the pork belly was truly delightful, and the Japanese Chicken Burger was amazing as well.
$80 - $90 for three people. Decently priced for the level of quality we got. Thanks, guys!

I could say my breakfast experience at this cafe was fantastic and exceptional due to it's amazing decor and delicious different dishes. The only issue was the nearby construction noises which wasn't pleasant at all but the meals and their service were that good that my wife and I will definitely go back soon to try the other dishes!

Paramount Coffee Project is a third wave coffee spot within a close proximity of Holiday Inn where we stayed. On top of caffeine rich drinks, this place also offers creatively done all day breakfast and desserts.Â
Out of curiosity, my friend Jenny and I got quite a lot of dishes and beverage here. The lack of visual photos paired with an elaborate list of ingredients was the culprit really. Not all we had however turned out pleasant. One was even a mistake to have.Â
Their Biscuit and Gravy was a disappointment. Its smoked white pudding sausage was too sweet, sauce way too salted and biscuit crumbly and nothing special. I only liked its tad sour flavored cauliflower, fresh okra, and runny eggs. Â
I did enjoy their customized plate for my pescatarian friend. They put together wonderfully smoked barramundi, shrimps, and potatoes. This was protein rich, balanced with soft carbs, seasoned on point.Â
My favorite here was their well-curated and colorful dessert, Peanut Butter Jelly Time Sago. It was something I've never seen or ate before. It has chewy raspberry flavored tapioca, sour fermented raspberries, crunchy candied peanuts and lightly sweetened peanut milk. It was a joy having it in my mouth, given its series of contrasting flavors and textures. Must have.Â
For drinks, we all liked what we had from their specialized coffee to their refreshing Mango Crush, a delightful mixture of mango nectar, coconut water, sorbet, and mint.Â
If you are in the area, I suggest giving this place a chance, just skip their biscuit and gravy.
This place is up there with the best in Sydney, and possible Melbourne too. The fried chicken and waffles are absolutely heavenly and the coffee is bloody-perfection. Save room for the cronuts and be prepared to gain a good few kilos afterwards. Well done!
Had the coconut chowder and it was delicious! Also had the soft baked eggs with white pudding sausage. Love the flavours and the kale in there. Coffee was pretty good too. Super friendly staffs! Will be back again
This is one of my favourite cafes and I've been here twice on separate occasions. The ambience here is nice with the high ceilings and resembles a cafe in an art gallery.
The menu selection is quite small compared to other cafes but the chicken waffles are their signature and I also liked the crumbed eggs with kale. I would recommend both dishes and a sneaky side of avo or bacon but it was too salty for me adding the bacon.

Lobby cafes tend to do a roaring trade from office workers too lazy to venture out outside the building for their caffeine fix. The Paramount Coffee Project however relies on no such lazy tactics. Located in the lobby of Paramount House, the former Paramount Pictures building in Surry Hills, Paramount Coffee Project has become a standard venue for brunch lovers looking for a good feed.

Decent brunch spot for those looking - all the dishes are pretty good. I find them a tad bit over complicated which is not my personal preference. Love the space though.

My husband and I were coffee hopping and stumbled across this caffe, we were greeted by warm friendly staff...
the coffee was good with more ascitic notes my prefrence is more for for chocolatey notes but that comes down to personal preference;
we didnt stay for lunch but we did try out their milk shakes as that is what they are known for and i must say that they did not disappoint...
the nutella/salted caramel toped with pistachio milkshake was amazingly delicious. Yummmm
My friend wanted to come to this café, so I agreed to meet up here. It was large, open café with many types of greenery inside. The atmosphere felt eerily still but the waiters were nice and welcoming.
I ordered the sweet waffle. It looked very visually appealing and decorated beautifully. It looked much better than it tastes, it lacked impact and tasted like any other waffle. I tasted my friendâs buttermilk fried chicken waffle and it more underwhelming than mine. I personally didnât like the waffles here and felt too overrated. The lattĂ© was good though. Would recommend to check it out if youâre close by or looking for those good Instagram photos.
This place is simply phenomenal! Our apartment was a stones throw away and we walked in and out in the space of about 20 minutes before heading to Bondi!
A beautiful interior, funky ornaments all around the place & some amazing looking sweets stare at you all over the place. The waitress who served us had exceptional customer service skills & proceeded to have a chat with us on how they turned this old Paramount Cinema into the place it is today.
We ordered the Avo Toast w/ salsa and crumbed egg & the Bacon, Scram & Kale roll and no kidding it came out in about 6 minutes. You'd think it'd be have to be dead quiet for it to turnaround that quickly and with such a quality product, but it was super busy! Food was simply delicious, well-presented & great value whilst enjoying a wonderful atmosphere and design!
This place is a Sydney classic. They actually do "good" American good. Beautiful, spacious room with good light and nice furniture fittings. Coffee all tastes the same to me when it's black.
Came here twice in the same week. Coffee here is great! Staff are quite friendly, and the ambiance of this place is amazing. A great place to go get a nice feed with the perfect level of noise to properly focus on something at hand, or even relax and read a book. The menu is cute and interesting with a somewhat asian twist to it. Enjoyable!
Menu is very organic/healthy oriented. I am very much a flavor-oriented foodie which means this is not my cup of tea. The coffee there, however, worths a while. A wide range of cold drip, normal coffee and filtered coffee. If you are a caffein addict, go and have a look.
Heard some great things about this place and heard they have amazing coffee. So friends and I decided to come here for brunch. Coffee lived up to their reputation. Rich, dark with enough crema. Food wise, I found a little hard to decide. It offered something different to other cafes I have been to. I finally decided on the Crole Jambalaya and my friend opted for their famous crumbed eggs on toast. My jambalaya had a fresh citrusy flavour. It was light but filling. Great for warm days. My friend was a little disappointed with his crumbed eggs. I think he had a high expectation and it didn't meet it. The place is trendy and has a great ambience although you can't get too comfortable as after your meal, you can feel that they are trying to move you along. I think the place is nice but I was not too enthusiastic about the menu or the service.
Apart from this place being super busy - its a great cafe to meet up with friends and enjoy the delicious unique menu. The customer service is attentive and the coffee is always great. I highly recommend the fried chicken waffle. Street parking is easy on Sundays.
Iâm not sure how I havenât managed to blog about the Paramount yet, as Iâve been here a number of times. Aside from the fact that it can get mighty crowded, what more to say about excellent coffee, friendly service and inventive and enticing menu items? All in an industrial chic atmosphere that manages to be both cool and cosy at the time time.
This is our second visit to Paramount Coffee Project, the first time we came was when they first opened. The place is pretty much the same as before, except the menu has completely changed. It has a modern cafe decor and is relatively spacious unlike most cafes. We came here for a Sunday brunch without having done much planning, the place turned out not too busy and we got seated fairly quickly.
I have consistently been coming here for quite a while probably one of the only cafes in Sydney that will never disappoint on flavour, coffee, creativity and service. A must eat for any Sydney sider looking for the best of the best!
Intriguing menu items, delicious coffee and a spacious set up are all part of the appeal of this venue.
The wait time is the only key downside I can think of. I'm sure there must be a reason for it, but they have so much free space that is unoccupied by tables, that seems wasted. Perhaps they're constrained by a permit, as they do share the space with some other businesses.
Normally speaking we drive by and gasp at the queue to get in. Today, on a wet post Mardi Gras morning we slide into a table without delay.
Menu has changed since our last visit awhile ago (2 years?). We opt for the Gumbo of fried chicken to share and a croissant for afters.
The gumbo is great, generous and some spicy punch. Croissant is a rarity it seems these days, crispy buttery and large. Coffee good.
Solid effort and service very fast. That's a half mark right there.
You wonât find Japanese Matcha in the Paramount Coffee Project and you wonât find dishes decorated with flower petals or pink candy floss here either. What you are guaranteed to find is amazing coffee, tasty food and friendly service in a funky industrial warehouse-like surroundings. Â Welcome to PCP!
Location:Â
Ten minute walk from central station, very nice venue with high ceilings. A lot of shared tables but they worked well together.
Service:Â
Friendly waiters knew the menu well, and one of them talked us through the aeropress as he was doing it in front of us, so sit at the meatless benches if you want a view of that!
Food:
- Buttermilk fried chicken waffle ($21.00): the chicken wasn't crunchy but the crushed hazel nuts with the sauce were very nicely paired. However the portions were quite small
- Mango crush ($8.00): a little watery but a very nice refreshing flavour
- Flat white: 4.5/5 however regrets not trying aeropress!Â
- Cold brew ($5.00): very watery. Would have preferred concentrated quality even if it meant drinking less.Â
- Tonic ($6.00): tasted a little generic and bitter as expected however the orange slice was a nice addition.Â
Overall:
Service, location and venue set a very nice atmosphere. Food is very interesting and definitely worth a try!
Delicious innovative menu and lovely customer service! Menu includes funky breakfast options that you don't see in many other cafes. definitely a place to visit if you are in Surry hills!

One of my favourite cafes, I go quite a lot so it's strange i've never reviewed it. Sitting below Paramount pictures where you can see some old school movies is this trendy cafe and roaster. On this occasion I got a park right out the front and found a table easily, all set up ready for customers. It wasn't too busy, but it is on weekends. They have quite interesting food choices and I in particular love the crumbed eggs. Today I got the bimibab which is a bowl of black rice with shredded carrot, bean sprouts, crispy kale, enoki mushrooms and a fried egg with kimchi (I asked for none on mine)
and a tangy sauce. It is absolutely delicious. I had been to the gym and was so hungry that I forgot to take a photo of it!! They serve a good coffee and cold brew. It was an extremely hot day so I got the house made soda with passionfruit and elderflower - perfectly refreshing. Staff are efficient and the ambience is vibrant, people enjoying their cafe experience. The music is modern and fitting for this trendy cafe.
If your taste buds desire a coffee adventure, PCP is the place to be. Beautiful pour over is available on weekends, along with a great mix of menu items, inspired by the American South and Europe.Â
If you're in a rush, coffee can be ordered at the door, as well as pastry treats, but dining in is worth the wait, allowing you to check out the Golden Age Cinema and memorabilia left over from the Paramount Studios HQ.

Never missing an opportunity to try a Good Food Guide hot tip, we braced the rain to try the Paramount Coffee Project, an easy walk from Central Station, on Commonwealth Street, for breakfast. Wanting to try some of the innovative dishes we shared the very delicious Creole Jambalaya with chorizo, smoked barramundi, charred squash smothered cabbage and caramelised lemon $19.50

In need of coffee after a long night with the bub, we were happy this place was within walking distance from vibe hotel. Had a long Mac topped up and a almond croissant. The coffee was the perfect temperature and had a strong coffee taste. Loved it! The croissant was crisp and flakey with a raspberry jam filling. Yum! Will be back tomorrow for another caffeine fix
Love this place, it's my local!Â
Always great coffee, great service and good food. Wait times look longer than they actually are as it's usually pretty busy but theyre quick at turning tables.

When considering the powerhouses who took out some of the SMH Good Food awards this year, expectations sit high for CafĂ© of the Year. The fit-out and in turn your first impressions ring true to these. Cool, collected service sat us quickly, and were attentive in approach. Youâre surrounded by never ending ceilings, tall entrances, bright light and lots of air. Cabinets of quality coffee paraphernalia support the impression the coffee will be good, and after youâre first one itâs well and truly confirmed. I couldnât stop myself, and I've never ordered so much in an early morning sitting.
We were stumped when we looked at the menu. It was a warm morning, and I was aching for fresh, bright, healthy foods and sadly found none appealing. Most options came with egg and read heavy. Fried crumbed eggs, baked eggs, burritos, waffles. All the versions of eggs alongside indulgent and overly sweet and scary options. I settled for avocado on toast whilst I also sampled some neighbouring crumbed eggs.
Avo on toast was basic, and I really expected something spectacular, after all, itâs not difficult to do beautiful things with avo and a good quality bread. It was lacking. There was no textural element and it just felt like guac. I missed the indicator on what makes salsa âfermentedâ as salsa itself already has the tang and couldnât identify anything overly different. What I found most interesting was the vegemite sesame cashew butter as usually, not many understand the partnership with avo and vegemite. It works, so I was intrigued on the cashew and sesame. I loved this, so it was sad to see so little on the plate.
The crumbed eggs arenât so much crumbed, yet are crispy on the outer and have a beautiful golden brown, translucent glow. The yolk was a little over mid-range, yet being unfamiliar with the technique with âcrumbed eggsâ I donât know if a runny yolk is even achievable. The cooked mix of pork hock and kale was delicious and rounded and I would consider ordering this if a little later in the day, as it is a heavy dish.
The food presents well but the options are honestly limited. Iâd love to visit again after a menu change as there is indicator of skill in the kitchen here. Some better planning and consideration for those with different tastes would go a very long way. I want options.
In the classic Paramount building, this large, open cafe is beautiful and refined both in styling and their food. I ordered the key lime pie waffle - beautiful macerated berries and nutella ganache around d the waffle and key lime pannacotta. Service was great.
Like the atmosphere. My friend took me here about a year ago and from then and still now, it is one of the most liked cafe in Surryhills for me.
Pretty delicious Cold Brew! Grapefruit flavour from Kenya.
Opted for Semolina apple porridge, and Breakfast burrito (beautiful presentation. Both a little on the sweet side. Must go back to try Chicken n Waffles.
Nice coffee, the waffle is surprising combination, sweet and fried chicken, sauce is quite unique, but chicken wasn't tender enough. Overall it's a good place to go
Great coffee and food. Beautiful atmosphere made me feel so happy while I was here. They are serving house coffee from Ruben Hills & guest coffees from Melbourne and other countries. Especially I love their long brew bar and I enjoyed Ethiopian coffee as FILTER.
First impression when we entered The Paramount Coffee Project was great. We were greeted with friendly smiles from the staff and immediately acknowledged. The decor is very stylish and minimalist and seat comfortable. Our server was extremely friendly and helped us with our orders immediately. Food came out promptly and plated nicely. We ordered the soft baked eggs w/ habanero salsa with labneh and chorizo grits and the buttermilk fried chicken waffle with patatas bravas. The soft baked eggs were delicious with tiny hit of spice. The waffle with the fried chicken was a bit too sweet for my tastes but the potatas bravas was amazing! The patatas bravas was probably my favourite part of the meal. The milkshakes looked delicious, will most definitely try next time!
Your typical suburban hipster brunch cafe. Went as a group of 4 and got the PCP Bibi, chicken waffles and a burger of some sort. Unusual combination of ingredients in all meals but they all worked quite well together. The waiting time wasn't too long either for a Sunday morning which was nice (about 10 min). Service was pretty good as well.
Visited the cafĂ© for the first time. Thereâs seating inside and out. Paid street parking available directly outside the cafĂ©. Inside is nicely decorated and has a good atmosphere. Ordered a BK roll with American cheese and avocado toast with fried egg. Food was good. Total came to $55 for the four items.
Excellent coffee âïž, excellent service and great food đ„ in a cleverly designed space of the foyer at the Art Deco chic Paramount House Hotel. A slow coffee bar and a working coffee bar adds depth and interest to the space. Melbourne vibes definitely felt here đ
Friendly staff and good menu for brunch - had the bacon and egg roll and avocado on toast. Good coffee too. Only downsides to call out are that itâs a) a little expensive and b) it does get busy, so best to get there early.
Went to PCP for brunch during June long weekend - the place is busy as not many cafes open on public holiday. The menu is fusion of Asian/American style cafe styled food, deco is industrial chic style with high ceiling. We ordered the Fried Chicken Waffles and BKE Roll plus couple of coffees. Food was delicious and service was adequate. Beware of their 20% surcharge on public holiday.
Ordered 3 items, All three were delicious. Mushroom toastie - great flavour , perfect with coffee.
Crumbed Eggs on Toast- seems like a popular item. Pulled pork was juicy. Filling altogether.
Banana and Walnut Bread - great side and perfectly sweet and crunchy coz of the walnuts. Highly recommend.
Coffee was not too bad either. Expected better since itâs a âcoffee projectâ

According to an article published by the Financial Times in February this year, the Paramount Coffee Project in Sydney is one of the best independent coffee shops in the world. That is a good reason to pay them a visit.
The café is in a heritage-listed building formerly home to Paramount Pictures in the inner-city district of Surry Hills. On my way from the CBD to Surry Hills I literally passed hundreds of cafés, as stated in the FT article. Of course, I had very high expectations, as I do not visit one of the best cafés in the world. So, how good was my experience?
I truly enjoyed the building itself, the architecture, and the interior design. I especially liked the exposed concrete in combination with the untreated bricks in the walls, the white tiles and the simple metal chairs and wooden tables inside and the concrete table on the outside. Sleek, simple, and giving space to the coffee and food offering. Yet, the coolest object was the vending machine in the lobby, called the lobby boy.
I ordered their single origin espresso as a double from Honduras and a batch brew from Colombia. I started with the tasty looking espresso: it was well balanced with flavors of blood oranges, dark stone fruits and spices in the finish. The body was bold, the texture dense and the finish long-lasting sweet like nectarines. The filter coffee from Colombia came with a crisp, citric acidity, the cup was clean and sweet, with citrus flavors of orange and grapefruits and a lingering aftertaste. The cup and the range server were very cute. I liked the 4x4 truck with the gigantic banana in the back. It would have been great to taste a coffee with a banana flavour. That would have been a great match to elevate the multi-sensory experience. The vessel worked perfectly with the concrete table. I could not resist and ordered scrambled eggs on sourdough bread. That is a very Aussie thing, and filter coffee works very well with warm scrambled eggs and crispy bread.
Thank you for the nice tip FT! It was a great experience. When you go an visit this place, also look out for the great wall paintings (e.g. âReturn to Senderâ and enjoy the Vanessa Megan Blood Orange Foaming Soap when you wash your hands in the toilet. It is all about the details, and it is definitely not only about coffee. And maybe you find my signed book, that I have been hiding in the cafĂ©. Live is too short to not have some fun.
One of the most popular cafe in Sydney!
There were a lot of people although I visited here on a weekday.
Ordered flatwhite, almond croissant, BKE roll, all of them were amazing!
