It doesn’t matter which of the five Haven locations you visit: over the past 10 years, owners Kit Tran and Herman Chiu have become masters at creating that signature cool, calm vibe. The coffee is roasted in-house and served batched, cold-brewed, as a silky espresso, or poured over ice. The Asian-inspired brunch menu at Rosebery improves on the classics, adding peanut butter to scrambled eggs and curried chicken to congee.

Must order: Chilli scramble with roasted peanuts.
