Bittersweet

Bittersweet is a café in Green Square, Kingston, serving breakfast and lunch from 7am to 3pm every day. Its setting at the Cusack Centre on Eyre Street is described as relaxed, making it a practical spot for a morning meal, daytime catch-up or coffee stop in this part of Canberra.

The menu centres on modern Australian café fare, with the Bittersweet Eggs Benedict as a named highlight. It combines poached eggs, spinach and smoky hollandaise, with a choice of bacon, smoked salmon, mushrooms or smoked ham; a gluten-free option is available.

Coffee is a significant part of the offering. Bittersweet serves its own Highgate Lane Coffee, roasted on site, and sells the beans online, including the Thunderbird Signature Blend. Beyond the café meal, the venue retails fresh pantry staples and prepared take-home meals, which adds a useful takeaway element for Kingston locals. With its all-day breakfast and lunch focus, on-site coffee and kids’ menu, Bittersweet suits casual daytime visits and families looking for a café in Green Square.
