A bustling patio primed for people-watching. The chatter among Her Canberra readers points to an unmatched, buzzy atmosphere backed by legitimately stellar espresso. Expect baristas as focused as a seasoned pollie, pulling dialed-in doppios and silky flat whites from a wonderfully mild, nuanced house blend.
