Curtin Milk Bar & Pizza
Is there a worse espresso on the Southside? They take reasonable raw ingredients and craft a liquid that is scaldingly hot, bitter, gritty, with blowaway foam floating on top. A roadhouse coffee from the 70s, and undrinkable.

Beyond Q Café
41 Curtin Pl, Curtin ACT 2605, Australia
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 …

Carruthers St, Curtin ACT 2605, Australia
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…

210 Degrees Patisserie & Bakery
1D Wisdom St, Hughes ACT 2605, Australia
My local, and the cappuccino is consistently good. Rounded flavour courtesy of Cosmorex beans & they really know their microfoam. A shout-out for the pastries too! Takeaway not so good, so try not to do that. Service can be slow if there’s a crowd.
