Antidote

Modern Australian

Like any good alchemist's lab, this funky corner cafe is packed to the rafters with arcane equipment and bubbling brews. With a team of energetic young baristas performing the magic, choose from siphon, cold-drip, pour-over, trifecta (a three-step process involving wetting, extraction and hydrolysis) or espresso, which, you might have gathered, is anything but plain or simple. A Grinders caffe latte ($3.50) is rich and creamy with caramel notes that team perfectly with one of the array of freshly baked pastries on offer. If you're having a pie moment, this is the place for a sensational braised beef shortcrust pie.
