The Cupping Room | Cafe Canberra

The Cupping Room sits on University Avenue in the heart of Canberra's Civic, in the central city precinct. A renowned cafe and coffee specialist, it's long been regarded as one of the capital's great coffee destinations — combining expertly made, quality coffee with accomplished cafe fare in a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of beloved spot at the heart of Canberra's coffee scene.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent coffee, quality food and a relaxed, characterful setting in a great central location, ideal for a serious cup, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up. The Cupping Room's stellar reputation for coffee makes it a real destination, and it's clearly won over a big, loyal following.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 2,700 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved spot. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for an excellent coffee and a quality bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well loved in Civic.
