Why it's worth checking out
BEDST sits on Allara Street in Braddon, Canberra's busiest eating-and-drinking precinct in the inner north. A much-loved cafe, it's earned an outstanding reputation — combining quality food and good coffee with a stylish, characterful setting, the kind of standout spot that draws devoted regulars and word-of-mouth praise in a precinct full of options.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, genuinely good coffee and a relaxed, stylish atmosphere in a prime Braddon location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. On a strip with plenty of competition, a cafe that's nailed both its food and its coffee really stands out, and the outstanding feedback speaks to a spot that's genuinely delighting its customers.
With a 4.8 rating from 200 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular Braddon cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great brunch and an excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated in Braddon.
