Perfect Piccolo, complementary "glass of water". Ambience was great. service well above expectations. BTW, I own a coffee van so I know coffee, and they are not my roaster's; Although, now reconsidering my options after visiting here. It's a must if your in the area.

Friendly welcome, GREAT chai latte. One of my favourite places in greater Sydney to sit and get work done. Such a gorgeous, bright setting right in the middle of a cool, re-vamped warehouse.

Went to Sample this morning.Very quiet Saturday due to lockdown. Walked in and said "Hello". No acknowledgement at all from the staff at the counter who was standing there waiting (three staff). Staff were very not friendly at all and I felt like I was an inconvenience. I loved their batch brew and bought a bag of coffee to take home. it's such a same that their customer service is shocking.

A hike from St Peter's station but the streets are pleasant to explore. This lovely establishment is situated in a cavernous converted warehouse. The ambience is soothing and the coffee is stirringly strong! The Precinct surrounding is tempting. Worth trying.

I'm a big fan of Sample. Their coffee is delicious and if you are a hobbyist, you can buy a range of espresso and filter beans that are consistently fresh. The cafe has spacious and modern industrial interiors, making it the ideal place for catch ups.
