Sugar Junction

Walk into Sugar Junction and you're in the kind of place locals actually go to, not somewhere you'd screenshot for Instagram. There's a genuine warmth here—the staff know what they're doing with espresso, and the pastry cases aren't just for show. Tib Street's always been a bit rough around the edges, and this café fits right in: straightforward, honest, no faffing about. You'll find regulars camped at tables with laptops, mates catching up over coffee, people actually reading newspapers. The cakes rotate but they're reliably good; the breakfast does what it says on the tin. It's the kind of spot you stumble into and end up coming back to weekly.
