A snug basement hideaway speckled with sheepskin throws and classic Danish design, CUB pours expert espresso, filtered coffee and French-press brews. Food options are minimal (think pastries, yoghurt or soft-boiled eggs), with the emphasis firmly on the caffeine. Order a brew, settle in, and lust after that Hans J Wegner Venus Bench. CUB also sells take-home beans from their microroastery.
