Café de Paulo Midmills

You'll find Café de Paulo tucked away on Stephens Street, where it's become the sort of place regulars queue for before work without needing to ask what they're having. The coffee is genuinely good—the kind that tastes like someone actually cares about the pour—and it's not trying to be anything fancier than that. Walk in and you'll notice it's unpretentious in the best way: decent pastries, proper Italian coffee culture, and staff who know what they're doing. It's become a reliable refuge if you're bored of the chain coffee shops scattered around the city centre.
