Toby’s Estate flagship café and roastery in Chippendale clinched the top spot at the inaugural World’s 100 Best Coffee Shops Gala held at CoffeeFest Madrid in Spain. The café’s victory was a result of a blend of public votes and expert panel ratings, considering factors like coffee quality, barista expertise, customer service, innovation, sustainability practices, and overall experience.
