The Long Black Coffee is a proud ambassador for coffee in its purest form In Sydney’s sophisticated coffee landscape.
At Cafe C&M, our skilled baristas have mastered crafting the perfect Long Black Coffee, making it a standout choice for true coffee enthusiasts.
The Essence of a Long Black Coffee
Born from the European tradition of the Americano but perfected in Australia as a stand-out beverage, the Long Black coffee has become a cornerstone of Sydney’s coffee culture.
Unlike its cousin, the Flat White, this method of adding hot water first, then laying the espresso shots gently on top, creates that coveted golden crema – the hallmark of a perfectly crafted Long Black.
From our experience, coffee lovers from Melbourne to Milan appreciate this distinctive preparation method!
Cafe C&M’s Secret to the Perfect Long Black Coffee
The journey to the perfect Long Black at Cafe C&M starts with premium Campos Coffee beans and precision timing.
Our baristas understand that temperature and pour technique are crucial – too hot or too fast, and you’ll destroy the crema; too cool or too slow, and you’ll miss the mark on flavour.
They carefully calibrate the water temperature and perfect the pour height to achieve that gorgeous copper-coloured crema floating on top.
Mastering the Art: Our Barista Training Program
At Cafe C&M, excellence is passed down through generations of baristas. Our senior team members take pride in mentoring new talent, ensuring our high standards never waver.
Through hands-on training sessions, detailed technique workshops, and daily practice, every barista learns the precise art of crafting the perfect Long Black.
Cafe C&M’s dedication to consistency keeps our coffee connoisseurs coming back across all our locations.
Customising Your Long Black Coffee Experience
While purists enjoy their Long Black as is, we understand everyone has their preference. Ask for HMOS (Hot Milk On Side) – a barista’s shorthand that’s become part of Sydney’s coffee lexicon.
Whether you prefer a splash of regular milk or premium alternatives like Bonsoy or almond milk, we’re happy to serve it your way.
Beyond the Classic: The Cafe C&M Touch
Each of our locations – from the Bondi vibes to the urban buzz of Darlinghurst – offers its own unique atmosphere to enjoy your Long Black coffee.
Our regular, Mark from Rushcutters Bay swears by his morning Long Black with our freshly baked bagels, calling it “Sydney’s perfect breakfast ritual.”
Quality Control Through Collaboration
Our commitment to consistency means that whether you order your Long Black in Peakhurst or Bondi, you’ll experience the same exceptional quality.
Our senior baristas regularly cross-train between locations, sharing techniques and ensuring our high standards are maintained across every Cafe C&M venue.
The Perfect Pairing
Our menu features items specifically chosen to complement a Long Black coffee’s bold, clean flavours.
Try it with our Prosciutto Di Parma bagel – the prosciutto’s saltiness and the mozzarella’s creaminess create a perfect balance with the coffee’s intensity.
But there’s something magical about pairing a Long Black coffee with a freshly warmed morning croissant. Watch as our baristas warm your buttery croissant to perfection, creating that irresistible contrast between your robust coffee and the delicate, flaky layers.
Our almond croissants, still warm from the oven, offer a nutty sweetness that dances beautifully with the coffee’s deep notes.
Community and Coffee: The Heart of Cafe C&M
Like the Long Black, our cafes represent simplicity and quality. They’re spaces where coffee appreciation meets community, where every cup tells a story of craftsmanship and care.
