This is an excellent little coffee and chocolate shop. They have well trained baristas and you can also buy fresh coffee beans. They can either leave them whole or they are happy to grind them to your requirements. They don't have very many lunch options but they have a large range of sweet things for morning or afternoon tea.

Approximate cost: $10

This cafe and its sister cafes in Belconnen and Tuggeranong are worth a visit. True European coffee and cake and that special attention which is needed in cold weather. The outdoor eating area is a little small but then you're in the middle of Manuka with everyone passing by. It's a great spot for celebrity spotting at lunch time.

Approximate cost: $10-15
