Calēre Coffee

Calēre is run by Alicia Feng, whose partner, Mo Zhou, runs fine-diner Gaea (situated next door). What you might not realise is that this tiny hole-in-the-wall smack-bang in the centre of heart of Gertrude Street dishes up some of Australia's best coffee. A huge claim to make, but one that's deserved. The café uses beans by one of Australia's best coffee roasters, Ona. The result is smooth coffee with various flavour profiles that staff educate you on if you ask. There's also a selected range of cakes, sandwiches and pastries available to accompany your coffee too.
