Gumption by Coffee Alchemy

gumption does one thing exceptionally well: specialty coffee that holds up to scrutiny. not the kind of place that leans on location as a crutch, even though the strand arcade on george street is genuinely one of sydney's better addresses. the focus here is on the coffee itself, which is what it should be. if you're the sort of person who notices the difference between a well-pulled shot and a forgettable one, this is worth your time. coffee alchemy has built a real reputation in australian specialty circles, and gumption sits inside that reputation without coasting on it. come for the espresso, specifically, on a weekday morning before george street gets loud.
