How this list earns your trust
We cover fewer places so every pick feels essential. Shops are chosen for coffee quality first, then room and pastry. Reviews are written on location, with notes taken cup‑in‑hand.
Coffee
Clarity, sweetness, and structure across espresso and filter.
Pastry
Great coffee deserves great lamination. Buns, croissants, restraint.
Room
Light, layout, and service that make the cup feel inevitable.
