Paramount Coffee Project

Sydney’s brunch purists happily brave the queues for this industrial-chic stunner in Surry Hills. Paramount Coffee Project delivers an electric, buzzing vibe—beautifully designed and deeply serious about its beans. Those chasing the perfect pour will point you straight to a flawless batch brew or a silky double shot oat flat white. But the kitchen is the real heavyweight. Expect wildly inventive, flavor-packed plates. Impossibly fluffy fried chicken waffles drenched in maple syrup. A genre-bending scallion pancake topped with soft eggs and a sharp hit of chili oil. Grab a spot at the communal table. The space is loud, lively, and unapologetically bold. Service remains remarkably warm for a room this frantic. Go for the dialed-in espresso—stay for the culinary flex.
