Barrio Collective Coffee

While Barrio's shopfront is on the bustling Lonsdale Street in central Canberra, it roasts its beans just around the corner in Fyshwick. At the café, you can order your coffee black or white – with three types of milk available, including their very own dairy-free cashew and almond blend. For a really out-there cuppa, order yours with unhomogenised milk.

Tucked into Melbournesque Braddon, Barrio Collective Coffee take their brews appropriately earnestly, prepping the beans in a 1950s German roaster and grinding them to order.

And since we’re in Canberra, who do we petition to get an Order of Australia medal for whoever came up with the milk bun stuffed with egg, cheese and – get this – a patty of bacon hash?
