Charlie's Cafe

You'll find Charlie's tucked away on Margaret Street, in that part of town where locals actually go instead of tourists. It's the kind of place where the regulars have their usual order sorted before they've sat down, and the staff genuinely know what they're talking about when it comes to coffee. The vibe is reassuringly unpretentious—think mismatched furniture, decent playlists, and that amber afternoon light that makes everything look better. Their brunch menu's solid, and they do the sort of all-day breakfast that actually makes you want to linger over a second cup rather than rush off.
