The UK may have the title when it comes to the longest queues, but Australia could certainly give them a run for their money when it comes to lining up for their coffees.
How does a business overcome this daily pain? Subway tried computers. They failed. No, this is a common human struggle that can only be solved by one thing... An App. Skip App! As the name suggests, you skip the queue by pre-paying for your coffee through the App, simultaneously avoiding those pesky eftpos minimums that are the bane of our caffeinated existence. The App is also GPS-based so you can find new cafes wherever you are, and break the oppressive routines of the white collar life.
Here we list some of Skip's quirkiest Sydney participants.
1. Brewed by Brewistas
Established by a tight-knit family of friends with a common passion for quality coffee, Brewristas is home to a cafe, micro roaster, and retailer, in the heart of Glebe. Currently on offer are cold drips, cold brews, Vietnamese coffee, and more. In fact, the menu boasts a full-page of non-frothed coffee including bottled Cold Brew, Brewtea, and Brewmonade – a mix of coffee and lemonade, for those who aren't good with portmanteaus. All treats and brews are available throughout the day and into the evening, so Sydney residents can rest assured that their 24 hour work days will be aided by having a brew available for their after-dinner caffeine hit.2. XS Espresso
XS Espresso is a lively, semi-outdoor cafe located in Wetherill Park. It’s a great place to catch up with friends and enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal. They also offer various signature dishes and a fantastic dessert range. With Campos as their prime supplier, there will be no doubt that the coffee game is strong.3. Bang Bang
Bang Bang café, located in Surry Hills, focuses on quality burgers and cooking all food from scratch, using quality produce. Although they specialise in burgers, there are plenty of very enticing breakfast, brunch, and lunch options. Plus their Facebook page is cheekier than your grandma after her first aperitif.4. Majestic Gourmet
Located in the heart of Petersham, the new Majestic Gourmet Grocers has taken over a historic 1920s cinema, which also housed a nightclub and roller skating rink in past lives. Don't worry, they aren't trying to compensate for anything; they succeed in exemplifying the joy and variety of a european market. The Majestic Gourmet also offer flowers through Skip to brighten up your day.5. Scout's Honour
Scout’s Honour sandwich bar sits on George Street in Redfern featuring a neat menu of stacked sandwiches, simple staples, and sweets, all served from a street facing white-tiled counter. Lunch is the focus at Scout’s, and sandwiches are the main attraction. They even have 4.5 stars on Google Reviews!Skip is available on both iOS and Android platforms.
