Best suburbs in Sydney for coffee

Café density per resident, not raw café counts — so a big suburb cannot buy its way up.

How this is ranked. Cafés per 1,000 residents from OpenStreetMap, as a percentile. Per-resident rather than per-suburb deliberately: raw counts just rank the biggest suburbs. 422 of 422 Sydney suburbs had enough data to be ranked. Updated August 2026.
