I like the original Lonsdale Roasters. They have good coffee and pots of chai . Staff very friendly and casual setting. Working space upstairs.

Best coffee in Canberra . Very 'Melbourne' in fit-out and feel. Fixies on the wall, hanging pendant lights, brekkie table with newspapers. On-site roasting, wood-fired oven is up! Nice.

9am Wednesday and ppl lining up almost out the door. Why? Because it's impressive. And I didn't see the staff struggle at all. Got my coffee and baby Elvis toastie within 2 mins. Top notch place!

Excellent coffee I would suggest one of the best in Canberra, consistency, expert baristas and great selection of beans

Grab an iced espresso , and make sure they give you the orange peel ! My go-to place when I want to be in Melbourne.

Menu choices are limited, but the coffee is really good!!

Still the undisputed best coffee in Canberra . Two blends available each day. For straight espresso , try the Mojo Rising.

Coffee = a highly satisfying and delicious caffeinated beverage

The melted cheese and chorizo panini is too much! So filling - doggiebag required for the other half!

Lovely cafe , delicious coffee , quite expensive juices

Great coffee , great breakky, great service. Top spot.

Such a nice and cosy café . Try thier panini sandwiches , its really deliouse! !

The banana bread and paninis make for a great start to the day, and are big enough for 2 to share!

Delicious coffee and the food is pretty good too

When overwhelming positive reviews don't quite do a place justice you know you're in for a treat. Full points for decor, as well .

Yes I'm from Melbourne... It was a good coffee but I'm not sure it's Canberra's best... Not by a long shot.

try portobello mushroom . It's unexpectedly delicious. Will try the beefie stuff next time.

When waiting in the inevitably long line , remember to act nonchalant. Pouting is optional.

Great food and coffee , attentive staff .

Try the pot of chai , delicious and even better with honey .

Good coffee and a relaxing area upstairs

Awesome coffee . Possibly best in Canberra! Great sandwiches too!

Try the almond croissant ! Just insanely good!

Grab a seat first .. then order at the counter..

Get refused when ordered orange juice , no juice today the said; while the oranges was abundant and it's on the menus. Won't come again.

Eggs Benedict

Food was not value for money and when I asked, to confirm that my bread was gluten free I was mocked. A number of the staff carried on like children. Totally unimpressed.

Open for great coffee and delicious cakes ; the pizza oven will be firing up in the new year.

Who thought of combining iced espresso with orange peel ? Genius!

Fantastic coffee , friendly staff . Happy to help a vegan out for lunch . :)

Great coffee

Great coffee (thanks Robert!)

Try an espresso or ristretto when they're serving the Guatemalan blend.

Hands down best coffee in downtown, maybe all of Canberra.

Thanks Rob (coffee roaster to the stars)

Very busy at 8 am on a work day. Lycra. Brigade here in force.

Only teabags. Ok teabags but not loose leaf , except for Chai apparently.

I miss Melbourne. This place reminds me of home

Hipsters with no cold brew ????‍♂️

I come here for the... Coffee . Yep. Not the girl that serves Fridays.

Cuban panini is the bomb!

Baby Elvis is the bomb

Do not come here when it is busy. The staff struggles !

Flippin best muffins ! :)
