Sydney’s #1 Pop-Up Retail Café Service
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.
Submit an enquiry online and book a discovery call with our Sydney team. We’ll assess your building’s needs and confirm the best setup for your space and timeline.
We design a tailored pop-up retail café plan for your Sydney property, outlining the setup, service inclusions, menu options and the minimum revenue model.
Once approved, our Sydney team manages the full installation—cart, equipment and baristas—so your pop-up café is serving specialty coffee within days.
We monitor performance, gather feedback and refine the service throughout your pop-up term to ensure it continues to meet your building’s needs.
One simple model, designed for Sydney’s short-term commercial leases.
We provide the full café setup and Sydney-based team – you simply agree the minimum revenue.
We handle everything—from site setup and daily operations to pack-down at the end of the term—so your Sydney building enjoys a premium café experience without the operational load.
Our pop-up retail café brings Sydney’s café culture directly into your building, offering a full specialty menu designed for busy tenants, visitors and teams on the move.
From refreshing iced drinks to help beat the Sydney heat, to expertly brewed dairy and alternative-milk coffees, our menu caters to every preference—without needing a permanent café onsite.
Whether it’s a silky flat white, a punchy espresso, or an iced matcha latte, our pop-up café delivers the authentic Sydney coffee experience during your lease transition or short-term activation.
Enhance your Sydney pop-up retail café with fresh, locally-sourced grab-and-go options from our trusted Sydney partners.
Choose from artisan sandwiches, nourishing salads, freshly cut fruit cups and premium snacks—perfect for busy tenants and visitors throughout the day.
We take care of stocking, rotation and daily replenishment, ensuring your pop-up café always feels full, fresh and ready to serve.

From the CBD to the outer metro, our Sydney pop-up retail café service brings a fully equipped, barista-led café directly to your commercial building—no long-term lease required.
We support corporate towers, retail precincts, creative hubs and large-scale commercial sites across Sydney, helping teams maintain amenity and tenant experience during short-term café gaps.
Whether you’re in the city centre or surrounding regions, our Sydney team deploys quickly, operates seamlessly, and makes your pop-up café simple, stylish and dependable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
