If you’re like us, and you’re someone that prefers a café made coffee than one made at home, be sure to check store opening hours so as to not be disappointed.
We’re sure the cafes and baristas need a break and so we’re very grateful of those that are open! Be sure to check re reduced hours over the Christmas and New Year period. We’ve listed a few of our favourite cafes here to make that search a little easier for you. I’ve noted closure dates for each cafe, as well as those open, but you will need to check their IG for specific hours. I’ve begun with those open on the public holidays for ease of reference.
