WHY GO

Make Barista Jam the brewed-coffee pause in your Jervois Street walk. Time Out highlights its drip coffee and range of brewing methods, while Sassy points to ice drip and a food menu for a longer stop. Ask about the beans before ordering; a black coffee gives the selection your full attention, with a sandwich if the walk has turned into lunch.

OUR ORDER

The drip coffee; ask what is being brewed today. If you want a cold cup, ask whether the ice drip is available.
