Downtown Milkbar & Coffee Lounge
Travelling “downtown” to this old school milkbar in Manuka is like going back in time. The coffee here is pretty good, made with care by the old Italian barista. Food options here are simple but unique for the area: sandwich bar and grill. Also on offer is a large collection of gourmet chocolates.

Ona Coffee

Great coffee and have consistently enjoyed coming to this café. Aaron (owner, normally wears a silly hat/beanie/akubra) is very personable and an excellent barista.
Wait times for take aways can be a little long at times, but overall a very good café.

Urban Pantry
19 Bougainville St, Griffith ACT 2603, Australia
It’s been better and probably needs a menu refresh with some really good thought about local, fresh ingredients.
And, as much as it pains me to say it, they need an obsessive barista to focus on producing the excellent coffee they are capable of.
