Skittle Lane in Sydney, specialty coffee cafe

still hunting for something that holds up on a tuesday morning, not just a weekend. skittle lane sits on king street in the cbd, which puts it in the path of a lot of people who don't have time to think too hard about where they're stopping. that's both the challenge and the point. what you get here is roastery-level attention in a location that could easily coast on foot traffic alone, and it doesn't. the regulars have figured this out, which is why the same people keep coming back rather than defaulting to whatever's closest. specialty coffee in sydney has raised the bar citywide, but not every spot operating under that label is actually doing the work. skittle lane is. worth arriving before the king street lunch crowd picks up.
