Set up by a couple of local mates in a backstreet industrial estate, this roaster-cafe makes the best coffee in the region. They roast single-origin beans from around the world on-site, served as V60 pour-overs or the standard lattes and flat whites. It has a cosy lounge-room set up, and does good breakfasts and smoked pulled-pork rolls.
