The soup of the day is so good and way underpriced for quality and ingredients. The coffee is also excellent, smooth with a comfortable chocolate and a pleasant aftertaste. There’s charging/plug-in stations at most seats. A definite visit for soup lovers. Very pleasant atmosphere.

The most beautiful lobby cafe I've seen in the CBD. Serving great coffee by Whitehorse Coffee, good food and service. Love it. Tucked away inside the Telstra buidling on George Street. Make sure to check it out.

If you're wandering down George Street and craving a standout coffee experience, **Black Sugar Coffee Company** is the place to be. Nestled inside the Telstra building, this café is a hidden gem that blends quality, comfort, and charm. From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with genuine warmth and efficiency. They remember your name, your order, and somehow make every visit feel personal. The coffee? Always on point—smooth, rich, and crafted with care. And if you're hungry, the haloumi stack or smoked salmon pita are absolute winners. Whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast, meeting a colleague, or just escaping the CBD buzz, Black Sugar delivers every time. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great service and even better coffee.

a blissfully quiet spot for a lunch break! the prices were a little on a higher end for me, but the granola bowl i had was quite delicious. fresh and sweet fruits, berry confit, silky yogurt and very nice crunchy granola. the location is amazing - spacious, bright, and peaceful, even though it's a very busy area of the city. was treated very kindly by people working here, definitely recommend stopping by :)

Introvert’s haven for some peace and quiet away from the crowd. It’s usually occupied but never over crowded and their lounge area is very well laid out. There’s plenty of room to go about minding your own business without being too close to the next table. Coffee has been consistently good and I’ve had it several times over the years. Table service is attentive or you can choose to order and pay for it first and then they bring the coffee to you. Good hospitality and professional service. Overall I quite like this place and the lighting is also superb. Warm and cozy at some sections and a little brighter if you need to have a meeting or catch up with friends.

The service was great, the waiter(guy)was especially kind and was ready to spend time explaining the breakfast menu. For some reason they don't make Eggs Bennie. The food was good, nothing special, but the coffee was exceptional. If you are after the best coffee this is the place.

Easy to miss cafe on the ground floor of Telstra building. Nice clean atmosphere, attentive service and good coffee. Spacious area with mixes of seating arrangements (booth, table for 2, community style long table and more) and accent colours and furniture pieces make the area a dynamic space. Find your corner to enjoy your coffee alone, or a bigger table even for a short business meeting over a coffee.
