Calorie counting will pay off in Sydney as Nestlé launches the world’s first Uncle Tobys Energy Exchange Café.

Café customers can pay with steps accumulated doing daily activities and shown on a mobile or fitness device and exchange them for a unique menu of oat-based dishes that also come with free coffee.

The pop-up café located in Sydney’s foodie district on Chippendale’s Kensington Street will be open for three days including today and tomorrow from 8.00am until 2.30pm.

Uncle Tobys ambassador and olympic swimmer Bronte Campbell will be making guest appearances at the café over the three days to take part in the Energy Exchange.

UNCLE TOBYS Oats head of marketing Michelle Katz said the brand is "committed to ensuring Australians are fuelled with the right energy to get them through the day".

"This activity is a great way to bring this sentiment to life and give Sydneysiders the opportunity to exchange their energy for ours.”
