Much to Melbourne’s chagrin, the best coffee in Australia comes from Canberra. Ona Coffee’s founder, Sasa Sestic, once won the World Barista Championship, and his employee Hugh Kelly has won the Australian Barista Championship two years running.
Ona has three shopfronts around Canberra, but their rustic and spacious Fyshwick coffee house is where the roasting magic happens. Here, classic Australian café fare, like halloumi fritters and avocado toast, is also crafted with precision to match the prize-winning roasts.
