About Cabrito Coffee Traders.

Tucked down Bulletin Place just off Circular Quay, Cabrito Coffee Traders cuts through the morning rush with serious in-house roasts and zero pretense. Regulars bypass the corporate towers for bold espresso, cold drips, and mochas melted down with real chocolate. Peak hours draw a crowd, but the baristas keep orders moving at breakneck speed—handing over a toy dinosaur figurine to claim a laneway bench. Settle in with a dialed-in batch brew alongside avocado on thick sourdough or a warm breakfast toastie.

  • House-Roasted Pours: Beans roasted on-site power everything from dialed-in espresso to cold drips, with mochas made using real chocolate.
  • Toy Table Markers: Orders arrive with plastic dinosaur and animal figurines instead of standard numbered markers.
  • Uncomplicated Bites: Simple, well-priced morning staples like thick-cut sourdough with avocado and tomato, Vegemite toast, and hot toasties.
  • Rapid Laneway Pace: The crew powers through heavy morning queues with rapid turnaround and personal warmth.

  • House-Roasted Coffee

    Cabrito roasts its beans in-house to craft bold, balanced brews with a smooth finish, bypassing standard third-party commercial blends.

    Great in-house roasted coffee giving a smooth tasteful flavour.

  • Mochas with Real Chocolate

    Mochas are crafted using melted real chocolate rather than processed cocoa powder or generic pump syrups for a rich, elevated morning treat.

    The mocha is the major draw card because they use real Belgium chocolate.

  • Quirky Figurine Table Markers

    Instead of conventional printed numbers or buzzers, orders are paired with quirky animal and dinosaur figurines for a playful table service touch.

    Bonus points for the fun little dinosaur toy used to signal our order — such a quirky and delightful touch that made us smile!

  • Hidden Laneway Atmosphere

    Tucked into Bulletin Place just off Circular Quay, the cafe provides a quiet, sunlit alleyway escape from the fast-paced CBD hustle.

    It’s also a really cute lane to sit in, just off the Circular Quay area.

  • Personalized Regular Recognition

    Baristas cultivate genuine community rapport, greeting regulars by name and remembering their daily coffee preferences amid the morning rush.

    The service is amazing - if you go three times they’ll probably remember your name and order.

  • Reassuring, Attentive Hospitality

    The staff deliver warm, attentive care under heavy morning volume, managing dietary requirements with reassuring dedication.

    Staff are great, always friendly. Amazing with my nut allergy too.

  • Toasted Ricotta and Taleggio Sandwich

    The toasted ricotta and taleggio sandwich is sinful but I order it every time.

  • Mocha

    The mocha is the major draw card because they use real Belgium chocolate.

  • In-House Roasted Black Coffee

    The black coffee was bold and had right amount of acidity and bitterness. Had to ask which coffee brand they use, and was told they roast their own.

  • Real Chocolate Mocha Crafting

    Mochas are prepared using melted real chocolate rather than commercial cocoa powders or concentrated syrups, creating a notably richer beverage.

  • Attentive Allergy Accommodation

Before you head over

Practical guidance on peak morning timing, laneway seating, and counter ordering. Plan your visit to Bulletin Place for a seamless coffee run.

  • Beat the 9 AM Morning Queue

    Morning demand peaks around 9 AM with queues frequently stretching out the door and into the street. The staff turn orders around at high speed, but arrive slightly earlier to beat the rush if you have a tight schedule.

  • Opt for Laneway Seating

    Indoor seating is compact with approximately six tables that fill quickly during peak hours. Head to the outdoor alleyway tables for more space and sunny afternoon seating.

  • Pick Your Animal Table Marker

    When placing a dine-in food order at the counter, you will receive a toy animal or dinosaur figurine instead of a traditional numbered stand to identify your order for table service.
