This industrial but sleek cafe and roastery tucked in a back street feels like a showroom for coffee in all its forms. Serious caffeine fiends hunt it down for filter brews with notes of peach iced tea, made with beans grown in China’s Yunnan province. Silky nitrogen filter coffee is combined with rosewater, but it’s also possible to experience one of the most perfect flat whites of your life.

Good to know: Sit at the bar and watch the siphons bubble and pour-overs drip.
