Dobinson’s Bakery
Somehow managed to make my long black look as though it had been topped with burnt microwaved milk—nonetheless it was a reasonable impression of what coffee should taste like, though nothing to write home about.

Gourmet City Deli

Aroma Cafe Bar
148 Bunda St, City ACT 2601, Australia
What can I say? It’s the best coffee within 20 seconds walk from JB Hi-Fi. But that’s not really saying a lot. Aroma actually make a remarkably good coffee, but the downside is their location within the busiest part of Canberra Centre (along with some p…
