In the quiet, leafy suburb of South Turramurra, there’s a café that locals whisper about with pride—and newcomers stumble upon like they’ve found gold. That café is Vertical Espresso.
With its reclaimed wood interiors, vintage Edison bulbs, and the unmistakable hum of conversation and milk frothing, Vertical Espresso is more than a pit stop—it’s the beating heart of the community.
A Warm Welcome in Every Cup
From the moment you step through the doors at 217A Kissing Point Road, there’s an immediate sense of calm. Maybe it’s the smell of fresh coffee beans, or the familiar rhythm of your name being called out with your order—but more than anything, it’s the people.
Our baristas don’t just make coffee—they remember your name, your go-to order, and the fact that your kid likes the babycino with extra foam. That kind of warmth can’t be faked. It’s something we’ve cultivated over the years, cup by cup.
Coffee That Sets the Bar High
At Vertical, we pour Gabrielle Coffee, one of Sydney’s most respected specialty roasters. Our milk-based coffees are made using their full-bodied house blend, while black coffee lovers get to experience a new single origin every few weeks.
We believe that a good café doesn’t just serve coffee—it curates an experience. Our team is constantly tasting, testing, and dialing in the perfect shot to make sure you’re getting the best pour, every time.
More Than Just Brunch (But Yes, The Brunch Is Excellent)
Let’s talk food. Our menu is designed for all-day enjoyment, with something for early risers, lunch breakers, and weekend grazers alike.
Some local favourites? The Eggs Benedict with grilled halloumi is a must. It’s rich, hearty, and made fresh to order. For something lighter but no less satisfying, the Açai Bowl is a fresh, fruity hit that gets repeat orders all week long. And if you’re on the go, our Brekkie Wraps and toasted Schiacciata sandwiches are made to satisfy fast. We also offer vegetarian, gluten-free, and kids’ options, because great food should be for everyone.
Designed for the Community
One of the most unique aspects of Vertical Espresso is its history. The building was once a butcher shop, and we’ve kept some of that old-school charm alive with industrial fittings, recycled timber counters, and a design that feels both modern and nostalgic.
We’ve made sure there’s room for everyone—from solo coffee sippers to big family brunch tables. There’s outdoor seating for dog lovers, a kids’ menu for the little ones, and a constant stream of familiar faces who’ve made Vertical part of their daily rhythm.
We’re also lucky to be surrounded by a strong local community—close to schools, parks, and shops—which means we get to grow alongside the people who come in every day.
