About Espresso Room Civic

Located along Bunda Street near the Canberra Centre, this cafe offers a quiet spot that fits well into a casual morning or afternoon pause. It’s a place people often visit for a solid coffee experience, with a menu that includes options like flat whites served alongside chocolate brownies, and comforting soy hot chocolates.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, supported by friendly staff who add to a sense of ease whether you’re popping in alone or meeting a friend. The space is accessible, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, making it convenient for a wide range of visitors.

It attracts those looking for a straightforward coffee break or a light bite, perhaps after some nearby shopping or before heading out to the lake within walking distance. Alongside the well-regarded local coffee roast, freshly baked pastries complement the experience, although individual tastes in coffee can vary. With options for takeout and dine-in but no delivery, it's suited to those who want to take a moment or grab something quickly while out and about in the city center.

Stopped by Espresso Room Canberra Centre and ordered a Coffee Latte—easily one of the best in Canberra! The coffee was smooth, well-balanced, and had a rich, deep flavor with the perfect amount of creaminess. You can really taste the quality of the beans and the skill of the baristas. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Great coffee, great service—definitely a must-visit for coffee lovers!

The staff at Espresso Room are kind and friendly. I enjoyed the pastry, but I didn’t really like the coffee.
