Penny University

It’s A’s across the board for this specialty coffee house sitting just a few streets back from Kingston Foreshore. Be prepared to wait, as you’ll be joining the other half of Canberra eager for a taste of their Japanese-inspired plates, including the crowd favourite okonomiyaki savoury pancake, katsu chicken burger and seasonal miso salmon bowl. Need a hit of caffeine? Penny’s house blend works best with milk, while their single origins are best-served black. Your brunch can easily turn into a boozy affair with Mimosas, Bloody Marys and Espresso Martinis.
