200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School

Walk into 200 Degrees on Queen Street and you'll clock the difference straightaway—this isn't your bog-standard high street caffeine pit stop. The team here take their coffee seriously without being insufferable about it, roasting their own beans and pulling shots that actually taste like something. What sets it apart is the barista school angle; you can book in for proper training sessions if you want to level up your home setup or just understand why your coffee's been tasting rank. The space itself feels unpretentious and welcoming, the kind of place where regulars nestle in with laptops and the occasional tourist stumbles in wondering what all the fuss is about.
