Sydney’s Toby’s Estate Chippendale has been crowned the world’s best coffee shop at the inaugural World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala in Madrid. To celebrate, the café is giving away free espresso-based coffee on Thursday, February 27.
A Global Win for Australian Coffee
The awards, held at CoffeeFest Madrid, ranked cafes based on public votes and expert reviews. Toby’s Estate topped a competitive list, solidifying Australia’s reputation as a coffee powerhouse. Other Aussie cafés in the top 10 include Proud Mary (Melbourne, 4th place) and Coffee Anthology (Brisbane, 8th place).
What Makes Toby’s Estate Chippendale Special?
Toby’s Estate isn’t just about great coffee—it’s an interactive experience. The Island Brew Bar lets visitors get close to the action, watching baristas craft each cup. Overhead mirrors provide a unique view of the process.
At the back, glass doors reveal the on-site roastery, where expert roasters create signature espresso blends and limited-edition flavours. The café also offers a gourmet menu featuring toasties, baguettes, and pastries.
From a Sydney Garage to Global Success
With 25+ years in the coffee industry, Toby’s Estate has grown from a small Sydney garage to a global coffee brand. It now has locations in Brisbane, Singapore, the Middle East, and the Philippines, as well as a new café in Fitzroy, Melbourne.
Community Love & Rave Reviews
Customers praise Toby’s Estate for its consistently smooth, well-balanced coffee—never too bitter or sour. Seasonal flavours, like Christmas-themed brews, are also a hit. The iced latte stands out as a customer favourite. Beyond the coffee, visitors love the friendly, passionate baristas and the warm, stylish atmosphere. The café is dog-friendly and offers outdoor seating for a relaxed vibe.
