Why it's worth checking out
The Tipsy Mug sits on Gribble Street at Gungahlin, in Canberra's busy northern town centre. A much-loved cafe, it's earned an outstanding reputation — combining quality food and genuinely good coffee with a relaxed, welcoming setting, the kind of standout local that draws devoted regulars.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, excellent coffee and a relaxed atmosphere in a convenient Gungahlin location, ideal for a leisurely brunch, a morning coffee or a casual catch-up. 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 in Canberra's north.
With a 4.8 rating from more than 170 reviews, it's clearly a real favourite. 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 a great brunch and an excellent coffee, it's often just a matter of dropping in at the Tipsy Mug at Gungahlin.
