Reuben Hills: Surry Hills’ Trailblazer in Specialty Coffee

Step into Reuben Hills and you’re immediately immersed in the vibrant soul of Australia’s specialty coffee movement. Founded by Russell Beard, a noted leader in the coffee scene, and Nathan Borg, an expert roaster, Reuben Hills was designed with transparency and community at its core. The industrial-chic space in Surry Hills seamlessly combines a bustling cafe, on-site roastery, and visible coffee lab, welcoming enthusiasts to watch the roasting magic unfold. Natural light, polished concrete, and exposed beams set the stage for passionate conversation and exploration, while public cuppings and brew guides empower visitors to learn and taste alongside the pros.

Reuben Hills’ coffee portfolio is a dynamic showcase of the world’s finest origins—think Ethiopia’s legendary Yirgachefe, Colombian microlots like the award-recognized Geisha from Israel Hernández, and standout single origins from Peru, Kenya, and Guatemala. Their house and espresso blends are celebrated for their brightness and balance, while unique offerings like steep bag sachets make specialty coffee accessible anywhere. Beyond coffee, the menu delights with inventive South American-inspired fare—famed for their baked eggs, fried chicken, and diverse brunch options, all with vegan and gluten-free choices. Whether you’re dropping by for a cup, a meal, or a masterclass in coffee, Reuben Hills is a must-visit for those seeking excellence, creativity, and genuine hospitality in every cup.
