In 2025, Toby Estate's massive flagship café warehouse in Sydney took the top spot in the inaugural World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala. Unlike other cafés where there's normally some form of physical barrier between you and the baristas, this place invites you to watch the coffee mastery at work. An island brew bar lets you get up close, learn from the passionate baristas and even watch the magic unfold through overhead mirrors. While sipping your brew, you can wander to the back of the café, where glass doors offer a behind-the-scenes look into the roastery. This is where all Toby’s flagship espresso blends, single origin beans and limited-edition Flavour Savours are roasted.
