The Outpost
Parked right in the front entrance to the Old Bus Depot Markets, The Outpost is not much more than a cart with an espresso machine and a few cakes. They served me a long black that was reasonably tasty, but insanely hot.
I’d only go there if the line is short—they’re not the quickest baristas in town though, to be fair, as I showed ordered they were delayed by a somewhat complex order from the person in front of me. The evidence against decaffeination mounts as I overheard the cashier say, “I hate decaf, it slows everything down.”

Kingston Grind
Eyre St & Jardine St, Kingston ACT 2604, Australia
A decent cappuccino that’s not too milky. A nice place to sit on a sunny weekend morning and read the paper. A little bit exxy and service can be on the slow side.
