Chambers Coffee @ Parramatta Square is a relaxed café tucked into the ground floor of the WSU building on Macquarie Street, offering a quiet spot within the busier Parramatta Square precinct. This café draws a mix of local students, professionals, and casual visitors who appreciate a calm environment to work, catch up, or pause during their day.

The interior is thoughtfully designed with clean, wooden surfaces that gleam under soft lighting, creating a welcoming and uncluttered atmosphere. The counter-service system with friendly staff ensures a smooth flow, where coffee and brunch orders are promptly brought to your table, making it easy to settle in without hassle.

The coffee here leans toward the craft side, with smooth, well-balanced brews served in real mugs or glasses, adding a tactile quality to the experience. Lovers of espresso-based drinks will find highlights like the White Chocolate with Espresso and Chai Latte appealing, while the Matcha Latte stands out as a favorite for those seeking something a bit different. On warmer days, cold options like the Iced Chocolate or a fresh banana smoothie offer refreshing alternatives.

Chambers Coffee also covers an extensive all-day brunch menu featuring wholesome choices like eggs on sourdough, avocado crostini, and the more substantial New York Brekkie Burger. The food tends toward fresh and straightforward, satisfying for breakfast or a light lunch without being overly fussy. Bakery items such as the mini cinnamon roll add a sweet complement to your coffee. Vegetarians and those leaning towards lighter options will find satisfying dishes like the vegetable omelette and assorted salads.

This café fits neatly into the daily rhythms of Parramatta locals looking for a spot to pause—whether meeting a friend mid-morning, studying quietly in the afternoon, or grabbing a takeaway coffee on the go. Its location beneath the university building also means a steady flow of students and staff, lending it a mild academic energy without the bustle of a busy chain café.

Early to mid-mornings through the early afternoon appear to be the prime times, when natural light filters in and the place hums with easy conversation or focused work. Despite being part of a modern complex, Chambers manages to avoid the hustle of the wider Parramatta Square food court, offering a more intimate café experience that locals appreciate.

Loved the vibes of this little coffee shop, so inviting. Great place to catch up with a friend and share bakery dessert and coffee. Loved the aesthetics. Will be back! Coffee was smooth and loved that it was in real mug or glass! The little coffee stirrer spoon was so cute. There are heaps of cafes in Parramatta, try this one.

This café is an absolute hidden gem! The atmosphere is cozy and beautifully designed — perfect for catching up with friends, studying, or just enjoying a peaceful coffee break. The food is fresh and delicious, with desserts that are both beautiful and tasty. The coffee here is outstanding — rich aroma, smooth texture, and you can feel the passion and skill of the baristas. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, always smiling and ready to help, which makes you feel right at home. Whether you want a quiet afternoon or a vibrant place to meet friends, this café is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

15th February 2025 - a spacious cafe located at the ground level of the WSU building in Parramatta Square. The staff were polite and helpful. Service at this cafe is a counter service and then delivered to the table. The food was fresh and tasty and was glad to have had their Macha Latte. The banana smoothie my wife ordered, appeared to be more like a milk shake and used a syrup base rather than fresh banana. We did enjoy the breakfast bruschetta though - nice sized portion.

I went into chambers fine coffee for a little caffeine boost and I was greeted with the warmest welcome! The atmosphere was really cozy and calming. It is such an aesthetic, instagram-worthy cafe and it’s at a super convenient spot as well. Here’s a picture of the beautiful cappuccino I ordered.

I escaped from the crowd in the shopping centre and came across this cafe. When I went around 2:30, the kitchen was already closed, so I just ordered a coffee and some pastries. The taste was quite simple, but the place was super cozy with plenty of space. I could relax and get some work done. I’ll definitely come back when I’m in the area again.

Trust me when I say this, this cafe has seen me through hundreds of crashouts from uni and work, I genuinely can't reccomend this cafe enough. The servers are extremely lovely, there's free wifi, outlets are great for working, great coffee that got me through less than 4 hours of sleep, great atmosphere, if I could gate-keep this place I would. My appreciation for this cafe runs deep so please support this lovely establishment!
