There’s a lot of Rumble in Kensington’s rapidly expanding urban jungle. This sleek showcase, in the base of a new apartment building, is a mere left hook away from the roastery. Complex, fruit-forward single-origins are on the pour(over), and the staple Shadow Boxer blend lands a knockout punch in a flat white made with St David Dairy milk.

Good to know: Pastries come from close-by cousin Double Dutch Bakery.
