Make this the coffee pause in a morning of exploring the academy. Its current tenant page describes a specialty coffee café with an orange-and-industrial interior, while the branch menu gives you a straightforward choice of espresso, flat white, dirty and mocha. Coconut Americano is the more playful cold option. The food pairing that catches our eye is the mixed siu mai platter: a Hong Kong snack alongside a café drink, with the historic grounds waiting outside.

OUR ORDER

Choose a flat white with the Signature Siu Mai Platter, or try an iced coconut Americano. For a larger meal, the published menu lists an all-day breakfast with sausage, bacon, egg, tomato, baked beans, hash brown and toast. These are menu-led suggestions; check the day’s availability.
