Di Stefano Coffee

You'll walk in and immediately clock the no-nonsense setup—this is a place that cares about what's in the cup, not the Instagram angle. Di Stefano does the essentials brilliantly: the kind of espresso that makes you realise what you've been drinking at chains, decent cortados, and an honest cappuccino that doesn't arrive looking like a latte went through a foam machine. The neighbourhood crowd—builders, locals popping in between errands, the odd cyclist—keeps things refreshingly unpretentious. There's barely room to breathe some mornings, which tells you everything about the quality-to-price ratio.
