This converted warehouse hums with remote workers sipping cold brews, and locals ducking in for takeaway lattes. Coffee is roasted on-site with around nine blends and single-origins on rotation. House-baked pastries are just as serious – potato-caper Danishes, lemon escargots swirled with almond and poppyseed, and sourdough focaccia topped with salami and fennel. Peek through the production window to see the magic happen.

Best for: Loading up on Saturday morning provisions.
