Sydney’s #1 Pop-Up Retail Café Service

Bring A Premium Pop-Up Café To Your Sydney Building

Sydney’s commercial spaces move fast—and tenant expectations move even faster. When a café closes or a lease turns over, even short gaps can affect satisfaction and daily foot traffic.

Our barista-powered pop-up retail cafés keep your building activated with a ready-to-run, specialty coffee experience. Installed quickly and operated seamlessly, they’re the ideal solution for short-term leases, vendor transitions or temporary amenity upgrades.

FAQs For Pop-Up Retail Café Sydney

What is the minimum commitment period for a pop-up café?

We offer flexible terms to suit short-term activations, vendor gaps, commercial lease transitions, and seasonal needs. Whether you need a café onsite for a few weeks or a longer placement, we tailor the commitment to match your building’s timeframe.

How does the minimum-revenue model work?

We agree on a minimum hourly, daily, or weekly revenue target. All café sales through our POS count toward that figure. If takings fall short, you simply top up the difference — if they meet or exceed the minimum, there’s nothing extra to pay. It’s transparent, predictable, and built for property teams.

How quickly can you set up a pop-up café in Sydney?

Once access and specifications are confirmed, we can typically activate within 1–2 weeks. Our Sydney team manages installation, compliance, equipment, and barista onboarding so your café launches smoothly from day one.

What locations do you service in Sydney?

We operate across the CBD, North Sydney, Barangaroo, Surry Hills, Paramatta, Macquarie Park, the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, Western Sydney, and major office and retail precincts. If your site has suitable access and power, we can deploy a café almost anywhere in Greater Sydney.

Do you provide the equipment, cart, and staff?

Yes. We supply the full café setup — including the mobile cart or compact bar, La Marzocco equipment, grinders, POS terminals, and trained Sydney baristas. No additional staffing or infrastructure is required from your team.

Can the coffee and food menu be customised for our building?

Absolutely. Alongside our specialty coffee menu, we can tailor the offer to your foot-traffic patterns — from coffee-only service to a full retail café with iced drinks, alt-milks, specials, and a rotating food range.

Do you offer fresh food or grab-and-go options?

Yes. We partner with local Sydney suppliers to provide pastries, sandwiches, wraps, salads, fruit cups, and healthy snacks. Everything is made fresh daily, and we manage all ordering, rotation, and replenishment as part of the service.

Are you compliant with Sydney’s food safety and council requirements?

Yes — our pop-up cafés meet all NSW health, food-handling, and safety obligations. We provide SafeWork NSW documentation, equipment certifications, public liability insurance, and any venue-specific compliance required by your building management.
