One of the best Australian brands, Perks & Mini has its shop right in the middle of Darlinghurst. Worth a look for sure if you're in town.

Super nice cafe that runs the whole way through a block in Surry Hills. Awesome food and super fun staff + they have really good coffee. It's big so you always get a place and it's a super chilled atmosphere.

Great baked goods, salads and THE BEST hot chocolate, made with real chocolate bits melted down into liquid gold

I love the effortless elegance of Alistair Trung's trans-seasonal, trans-occasional, trans-age, trans-size and trans-gender pieces. And his stores are always artistically presented and inspiring to be in, with bits of collected wood, bones, feathers and other found natural beauties

My personal favourite Australian artist Ken Done has his gallery in the middle of The Rocks, near Circular Quay. Its constantly updated with his new and old works and well worth a visit!
