If there’s a secret to this Canberra-born roastery’s success (a Dubai opening is imminent), it’s the ability to go deep but still keep things approachable. Avocado toast and house blends (including one flavoured like Ona’s breakfast tiramisu) cover the basics, while the coffee counters inside offer lessons on provenance and processing methods, with cups served every which way by staff who just get it.

Best for: Classic neighbourhood cafe vibes, except with eye-opening coffee.
