Harris + Hoole

Walk into Harris + Hoole on North Street and you'll immediately clock that this isn't your standard chain operation. They're obsessive about their coffee—sourcing, roasting, the lot—and it shows in every cup. The space has that comfortable, unfussy vibe that makes you want to linger with a flat white and your laptop, or just sit and watch the North Street crowds shuffle past. It's become a proper local favourite, which tells you everything you need to know about whether they're doing something right.
