Ampersand Cafe and Bookstore

Ampersand at 78 Oxford Street merges a well-curated independent bookshop with an Allpress espresso bar, creating one of the few places in Sydney where specialty coffee and bookselling exist in genuine symbiosis. The setting encourages extended stays and slow mornings, an increasingly rare thing in the inner east. Allpress beans are dialled to a crowd-pleasing specialty standard.
