Paper Cup Coffee

There might not be much to it, but every square centimetre of this little cutie earns its keep. On a busy Saturday morning it can be a struggle to find a seat, but be patient, and before you know it the Synesso will turn out a caffe latte ($3.50) of Coffee Alchemy's deeply satisfying Paper Cup blend (a mix of Brazilian, Colombian and Ethiopian). If you can snaffle one of the high chairs next to the bench, order a morning roll of haloumi, egg and eggplant kasundi, vegetable flatbread with house-made hummus or a Dr Shakshuka egg, sweetly topped with fresh herbs donated from nearby gardens.
