Slingtown Espresso

Best Known For

Ever-changing specials such as the pork belly burger, with crispy pork, creamy apple slaw and sriracha.

Coffee, creativity and community are the ethos behind Islington café, Slingtown Espresso on Beaumont Street. Nestling among vintage and pre-loved stores, this longstanding coffee haunt is the hub of the suburb – a place where locals gather over a brew and bite in rustic surrounds of recycled timber, whitewashed brick walls and a plethora of posters. Start your day with avocado toast, a poached egg and feta, on sourdough, or perhaps a bacon and egg roll hits the mark; while later diners can wrap their hands around a loaded salmon bagel with Italian herbs and cheese. Sweet tooths are satisfied with a blueberry Danish, Portuguese tart or munja brownie; don’t forget to grab a bag of your favourite coffee beans such as Colombia Excelso Reserva to take home on the way out.
