Primary’s Dan Kim was one of the first Sydney coffee roasters to put the “special” in specialty coffee. He did that by zagging from established cafe-aesthetic norms (exposed bricks, blackboard menus) in favour of a serious, minimalist design at his Potts Point coffee shop.

He's upped the ante at this second, slightly larger cafe in the roastery heartland of Marrickville. It’s a beautiful space for your daily ritual – made prettier with Pioik pastries and Shortstop doughnuts. Cafe, coffee showroom or caffeine temple? This place is the whole shebang.
