Mocan and Green Grout
Mocan and Green Grout are a multi-talented bunch of people. For a start: the place is half coffee-shop, half bike-maker (handy if you get a flat on your morning coffee run).

Podfood
So… It’s not exactly in Canberra city, but its definitely worth the 15 minute drive out there. Podfood is housed in a refurbished 1930’s cottage set amongst the Pialligo nursery. The menu is described as ‘modern Australian’, but changes to suit the seasons. It’s popular. If you're planning on going there for Mother's Day, book ASAP! The restaurant will be offering special degustation menus for breakfast (yes!), lunch and dinner.

Lonsdale Street Roasters
As the name suggests: Lonsdale Street Roasters are first and foremost, a coffee roasterie. That’s great news for the slavishly caffeine addicted among us (guilty). They also do great breakfasts. The best bit? When you have finished you can grab a bag of that excellent roast to take home with you.
