Skittle Lane

Located in Australia's other great coffee city, our roastery and specialty brew bars sit right in the heart of some of Sydney's most iconic destinations. From Bondi to Brookvale and a couple in between, we strive to roast and brew consistently delicious coffee and enjoy being part of a daily experience, in memorable surroundings. We believe great specialty coffee should be great, all the time, and with that comes the high expectations we impose upon ourselves to keep striving, keep learning and create a culture of excellence within our coffee community.

Skittle Lane was founded in 2015, with our first Skittle Lane in our heritage listed King St store, in the soul of the CBD. It was this store that made us want to keep going, and 11 years later we now have 5 stores, recently opening a new roastery in Brookvale to support our growing small business.

Prior to our Brookvale roastery opening, Dean roasted from our small espresso bar in Bondi, where the community grew to love and involve themselves in the coffee roasting process. This is the culture we hope to bring to Brookvale, where our P25 sits in the middle of our warehouse, and roasting and production simultaneously takes place within the brew bar and retail areas.

All of our coffee is ethically sourced from small producers and sustainable farms, which we roast in our Brookvale brew bar and roastery. We buy our green coffee from B Corporation certified importers and we ensure every coffee can be traced back to origin. To be classed as specialty coffee, the green bean must be scored by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) as over 80 points, out of a possible 100 points. A higher score indicates exceptional quality and flavour, which is where the specialty coffee industry focuses their attention and we choose to buy our green coffee from.

Everyone can be confident that we strive for the highest coffee quality, both in store and when you take a bag of beans home. We work with the same farmers and suppliers that we have done for the past 11 years.
