The Glass House

The floor-to-ceiling windows at The Glass House certainly help lend character to its name – the windows span two storeys and let in lots of light. Headed by Kiwi barista Glen (formerly of Closer), The Glass House serves up a well-curated list of beans (think Canberra brand Ona, Taiwan-based Simon Hsieh, Tanamera from Jakarta) and expert brews. Plans for a coffee roasting facility are in the pipeline. For dessert, one might be tempted by the chocolate cookies, but we say go for the gluten-free Belgian chocolate and sea salt cake instead.
