Tongue & Groove
Not bad, not good. The espresso I had was certainly drinkable but I’m not sure what to else say.
I had a respectably well made capuccino. A mild blend but well balanced, with good milk temperature and well restrained microfoam and chocolate powder.
Come to Tongue & Groove in the daytime if you want a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and good food. Yes, it’s a bar, but you needn’t worry about too bad a coffee. I’ll be back soon to try a straight espresso.

I’d never been enticed into Babar due to the bland sterility that it appeared to project. However, I gave it a go this morning and was quite surprised. Warm, comfortable interior, quick table service, and a tasty short macchiato. Good and strong, clean …

The Fish Shack
87/105 Petrie Plaza, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia
Canberra’s newest and most conveniently-located fish and chip shop also serves a pretty decent coffee! My double macchiato was smooth and tasty, not too much milk, and served at a drinkable temperature. The price was not too bad either, at $3. These guy…

Gourmet City Deli
Bunda St, City ACT 2601, Australia
This place attempts to be a gourmet delicatessen, a take-lunch place, and a café, and only really succeeds at one or two of these. Average coffee and below average service.
