Batch Baby

You'll find Batch Baby tucked into the Rose Lipman Building, a proper neighbourhood spot that feels more like a local living room than a chain café. The Victorian conversion gives it character—exposed brick, natural light pouring in, enough seating that you're not hovering over someone's laptop. The coffee's genuinely excellent; they take their beans seriously without being insufferable about it. Pair it with their pastries and you've got a proper reason to linger on De Beauvoir Road instead of rushing through.
