Veneziano roasts on site and pours both classic and experimental brews. The polished bench seating under soft lighting is ideal for reading or sketching. Pick up a fresh doughnut or pastry while you linger over a single-origin bean. Staff know their coffee inside out and are happy to chat, but never overstep. It’s one of those rare spaces that feels calm, supportive, and stylish at once.

Sample Coffee
With its tidy décor and upbeat energy, Sample is anything but overbearing. It offers a polished and friendly space for solo work or quiet chats.

It’s a spot that blends picky coffee drinkers and mellow minds without raising the volume.
Da Bang Coffee
Da Bang feels like a hidden treasure: small, aesthetic, and intimate. You’ll find cozy bench seats and picturesque cups against exposed brick.

It’s an easy space to pause, think, and breathe in Surry Hills.
