The baristas here serve up a head-spinning array of coffee options – choose from espresso, cold brew, syphon and Aeropress, with or without flavourings. Sink into one of the comfortable couches in the book-lined main space or perch at the counter upstairs for a bird’s-eye view of the lively scene. Breakfast and light lunch dishes also available.
