Sydney’s newest precinct, The Collective, wraps around a cobblestoned courtyard that’s been transformed into a lush oasis in the middle of The Rocks. The Garden brings the outdoors in and is an idyllic setting for relaxed coffee and pastry to start the day, light lunch or afternoon cocktails under the starts. 

This open-air haven is channeling the Italian way of life in May for American Express delicious. Month Out with an unbeatable option of starting your day with one of the best value coffees in town by having your ‘caffè al banco’ – at the bar.

Take part in a beloved Italian ritual at The Garden’s espresso bar and enjoy a stand-up espresso for just $2. It’s served the traditional way—quick, strong and full of flavour. Inspired by traditional espresso culture, this is more than a coffee; it’s a moment to savour, a social custom, and a small everyday luxury.

No bookings, no table service—just quick, stand-up espresso in and out, as tradition intended. Perfect for a midday reset or a moment of pause in a beautiful garden setting.

Caffè al Banco is valid for standard espresso and stand-up service only.  One espresso per person, per transaction.
