The Fish Shack
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 guys also have an excellent loyalty card, granting you a free coffee after every four.

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…
