Why it's worth checking out
Sips O'clock is a standout South Bank cafe, with a 4.9-star average from more than 200 reviews.
A rating that high, sustained across the board, is the clearest sign of seriously good coffee and a welcome that keeps people coming back — exactly what makes a great neighbourhood cafe.
It's at South Bank, across the river from the CBD and beside the parklands and cultural precinct. Sips O'clock suits a quality coffee, a relaxed brunch or a break on a riverside wander — and it's busiest, and liveliest, through the morning.
