Brew Café
My soy chai latte was fine but a little bit too hot and my salad was alright. As for the service, I was seated straight away by the friendly waitress. Once I ordered my food came quickly but it was hard to get their attention at first.
I came for lunch, so it was fairly busy but it seems like the kind of place where you can always find a table or couch. Overall it was okay.
Brew Café is the much less imaginatively named successor to Red Belly Black. While their outdoor tables enjoy quite a fine aspect, looking out into the sheltered Hobart Place park, the café’s interior is rather dreary.
They did serve me a particularly nice macchiato, with good balance and separation between milk and espresso. Along with this I enjoyed a very well made pizza. There was a mix-up with our order and the management handled this with apologies and grace.
Not the greatest coffee in this part of the city, but worth a try if your looking to enjoy a sit-down lunch or meeting

Coffee from Lonsdale Street Roasters has improved Emissions, however attention to detail is still lacking and coffee/food inconsistent in quality.

Espresso Citi
15 London Circuit, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia
This has been one of my biggest coffee surprises of late. Set back from London Circuit in the foyer of an uninteresting coffee building, the only street presence that Espresso Citi enjoys is their blackboard promoting their $5.50 coffee & toasted sandwi…
