Why The Q on Harris wins locally
Consistently high ratings (4.7★) backed by 520 reviews signal repeat demand. Likely the benchmark incumbent new entrants are measured against.
Lesson for new entrants: Compete on a tighter daypart (early breakfast or late specialty coffee) rather than matching their full menu breadth.
Rank #1 among cafés within ~800m of Ultimo centre (Google Places cache, June 2026).
