The Reformatory Caffeine Lab

Visited here in feb this year and it was a fantastic coffee experience, you can taste the amount of time and practice it takes to extract that perfect brew. Hopefully be able to travel here again!

Coffee has a good taste
BUT
I got a pack that has no weight disclosed on it and asked. They told me it is 1kg for which i thought the price is expensive but acceptable. After opening the pack at home I wondered how this can be 1kg and used a balance to check - including packaging the weight was just shy of 900 grams. Totally not acceptable and despite the good taste of the coffee I will never buy there again!

Love everything about this cafe. The interior design is so cool and interesting. Coffee is at high standard. Will definitely come back again in the future. Highly recommended.

Love everything about this place.
I really like the decor of the place, with scratch of heroes of comic book all over the wall, while “Batman and Robin” movie is playing on the screen.
My piccolo was good, temperature and creama was perfect and I like the batch of todays coffee beans.
Service also friendly, they remembered name of 2 regulars queued in front of me.

Awesome Coffee and super friendly staff!
They also have a rewards system so if you're coffee crazy this place might just have to be your new local!
Hot chocolate is super good and not overwhelming at all definitely recommend!

Definitely worth a try. But my friends and I agree that their coffee.is not everyone’s cup of tea.

It's all about the coffee here and it's a standing room store where you stand and enjoy the coffee. It's a specialty coffee shop which roast their own coffee beans. They only sell some baked goods & sweet bites from different bakeries to compliment their coffee. I usually have their house blend Joker milk based coffee with is always perfect. It comes with sparkling water to cleanse you palate while you enjoy their dark roasted coffee which leave a pleasure lingering after taste in your mouth.

There are specially coffee shops and there's a specially coffee shop.

Seriously good, albeit standing room only, feels like Tokyo.

And their croissant too, enjoy me fellow caffeine addicts.

Excellent coffee and service. One of the best tasting coffees in Sydney. Coffee is their specialty and you can tell easily that is the case. Wonderful subtle flavours.

Easily one of the top 3 places for coffee in Sydney. Do not miss out on this spot. They source the absolute best beans and roast them beautifully.

They respect “all” they are meant to serve.
Thank u Pat for the delicate coffee and knowledge shared.

If you like drink filter coffee, you definitely love this place.

The staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Close to Central Station.

No seats, only have few tables, and standing enjoy your coffee.

If you only want drink coffee this place definitely my first choice.

If you want to drink an amazing coffee, Absolutely you must come to this cafe, They have so many kind of coffee, good quality, knowledgable staff. I know amazing coffee must expensive but it worth to try and, you will know how amazing of that taste of coffee.

The best pour over coffee in Sydney. I’ve also tried white coffee here and it’s amazing.
They have great single origin coffee beans. The staff are very friendly. Convenient location as it’s very close to central train station.

Just had a cold brew here. Was actually amazed. I've had a lot of cold brews over the years but have to admit this trumps them all. If I was in the city more frequently it'd be my go to. Glad I got 2.taking one home. Will definately go back when in the city next!

Reformatory is my favorite coffee shop in Sydney. Getting a proper pour over is hard to find in Sydney where most places do a batch brew. That isn’t the case here and they have a wide selection of beans to choose from to meet different flavor profile preferences.

The espresso based white coffees here are also really good and among the best in the city. This isn’t the best place for chatting with friends and having brunch. However, if you want really good coffee this would be my first choice.

This place is mediocre and Simon doesn't know anything about coffee. Save your senses and your money and get your coffee somewhere else.

Exceptional coffee in sydney.this place should be magnified by syd's coffee bloggers so tourists will enjoy this great coffee even if not going to melbourne

I ordered it strong, and got tasty as an added bonus. Funky inner city cafe near Central station

Truly one of the best best coffee places in Sydney. I true hidden gem! The long black was the best I've tasted in literally 19 years. If you are after awesome coffee make the effort to stop by.
