This sleek, spacious, tiled cafe in Rosebery is indeed a haven, with restorative espresso, cold drip and batch brew from head roaster Herman Chiu. The Asian-Australian brunch menu is part playful, part serious, with top bagels, fried-chicken waffles, “not a banh mi” brekkie rolls and bowls of XO chilli prawn spaghetti. A brand new Haven, the fifth, will open in Barangaroo in December.
