I really support small business like this one and it’s become very popular very quickly. Why? The guys who own/run the joint are trying hard to do a good job and it shows. Even better for us, it’s our local. It’s about time someone set up something good in this location because it really needed it. This little cafe adds life to what are still fairly drab local shops. RBE has a fairly limited menu, with little flexibility because of their facilities, however, you don’t mind because what they produce is very, very good. We’ve had breakfast and lunch here, as well as just coffees. They make an excellent egg and olive tapenade toasted roll. Deluxe.It’s still unsigned, but you can’t miss it from the main drag. Well worth a visit

Met our usual companions plus one and while we all found our usual flat white mugs and a mugachino plus a latte pleasant and smooth to the taste they were all of insufficient temperature.

Finally found a great takeaway coffee & not too expensive.

Great cafe ambience & a well-made cappuccino. I reserved judgement on the default grind (Seven Seeds’ El Gordo) as it seemed a bit one-dimensional for a latte/FW/cappuccino. It turns out the Chompy grind also on offer at my last visit renders a superior cappuccino!

It was a long time coming, but there is finally a good café at Curtin’s quaint local shops. I was anticipating this so much I might of accidentally their first ever coffee.

The coffee is outstanding and their sweats are annoyingly delicious (not #paleo). The café itself is very cosy and should be a great spot in winter with the northern aspect. Five stars.

Quiet location, amazing coffee. Highly Recommend

Great long black, best I’ve had in Canberra for a while. Nice spot too.

New café at Curtin Shops from the owner of Beppe’s at Belconnen Markets. A mix of customers makes for a nice feel. Simple, low key fit out, the highlight of which is the large cast in situ concrete bench top where all the action takes place. Which brings us to the coffee: excellent, consistent results (have been a few times) with delicious long black on each visit.

    A fantastic, sprawling second-hand bookstore in the basement level of the Curtin shops. Better still, they have a small café space where you can also find a bit of live music on the weekends. I’ve been here five or six times at least and the coffee has …

    This modern, comfortable suburban restaurant is open for breakfast on Sundays (the one day its larger Braddon counterpart is closed). They offer a decent range of well-made meals and acceptably good coffee.

    It’s worth noting that their menu is a subs…

    Located in the foyer of the Australian Royal Mint, it literally is a coffee cart. The barista was very friendly and it’s always nice not paying extra for a decaf. But my soy decaf cap was just okay. It’s a well lit cafe and the money making models are p…

    Lots of staff, not very helpful or interested, end up getting own menu and water.

    Tried a few dishes. The only after taste is salt, coriander and chilli.

    Pity the location is handy and like to have somewhere different to go locally.

    Guess it is…
