Tinderbox

You'll find yourself on Ingram Street in the Merchant City, where Tinderbox sits amongst the Victorian sandstone—not flashy, just a straightforward coffee operation that takes its beans seriously. The crowd's a mix of students hunched over laptops, folk grabbing their morning flat white before work, and people lingering over weekend brunch. It's the kind of place where the baristas actually know what they're doing with the grinder, and the espresso tastes like it's been sourced by someone who gives a toss. Grab a seat by the window if you can and watch the city go by.
