Anvil Coffee Co

The verdict

The star at this café is the view, part of Kirribilli Wharf and with panoramic views of Sydney Harbour. That should be enough for most venues, but here there's also amazing food and coffee. The latter is a unique blend, Fat Poppy, which is a combination of specialty Single Origin coffees with a slightly sweet toffee undertone, almost like a honeycomb chocolate bar. Food, meanwhile, is simple fare, with avocado and quinoa tabbouleh served with goats cheese and lemon vinaigrette, buttered poached eggs with Greek yoghurt, garlic, chilli, lemon juice and organic mint, and daily-changing salads with a base of baby spinach and rocket, fresh blueberries, goat's cheese and walnuts.
