Studying for exams can be stressful, especially if you’re living in a foreign country away from the support of your family and closest friends. But don’t worry, Sydney has many amazing cafes that will help you to unwind, with the help of delicious food and a relaxing atmosphere. Oh, and did we mention the food?
Clipper Café, Glebe
Known for good coffee and even better eggs benedict, Clipper Café is the perfect breakfast destination. The comfortable interior is filled with bric-a-brac, including bikes mounted on the walls and bright plastic flowers. This café will leave you feeling inspired, and you can unleash your creative flair with Study Anywhere and study in an arty environment.
Ampersand Café and Bookstore, Paddington
Studying can take the fun out of reading, but rediscover this enjoyment at Ampersand Café and Bookstore. Nestled in the city, you’ll feel the world away as you explore the wonders of second-hand books while enjoying a delicious meal in the upstairs library.
Caffe Tiamo, Sydney
Caffe Tiamo is a contemporary, split level café with the interior inspired by the luscious great outdoors. You can choose to take advantage of the free Wi-Fi from the inside or escape the bustling CBD in the open courtyard at the back. The café serves food throughout the day, including delicious pasta meals, but we recommend enough room for a sweet and scrumptious dessert!
Maximus Café, Martin Place
Located on the ground floor of the GPO building, Maximus Café is a stunning tiled space with high ceilings encompassed by Sydney’s history. The café serves their own organic and fair trade Arabica coffee, making it the ideal spot if you’re looking for a good cuppa to get your mind off studying. To accompany your hot drink, there is also a variety of croissants, bread, and assorted quiches.
Café Hernandez, Potts Point
Since 1972, Café Hernandez has been serving gourmet coffee and Spanish style food. And with the café being open twenty-four hours, seven days a week, there is never a bad time to go relax and unwind with some delicious food in a homely style atmosphere. Plus, if you’re caffeine lover there are so many varieties of coffee beans to choose from, including Swiss decaf, Caramel Espresso, and a unique Spanish blend.
