Heidelberg


Especially when the weather's chilly, this is a wonderful spot to warm up with a wickedly thick house-speciality hot chocolate in flavours like hazelnut, Cointreau, chilli or praline. The airy space has a laid-back lounge-room vibe, with a book swap, piano, regular acoustic gigs and rotating exhibitions by local artists.
