Rococo Coffee House

Walk up to Rococo and you're stepping into the kind of place that takes its coffee seriously without being a knob about it. The first-floor perch on Lord Street gives you decent natural light and a view of the city centre bustle below, but you're removed enough to actually have a conversation. The crowd's a proper mix—laptop warriors in the mornings, groups catching up over lunch, people who actually know what a flat white should taste like. You'll find yourself coming back because the espresso's consistently good and the food's the kind of thing you actually want to eat, not just Instagram.
