One shot

Forget soulless Starbucks or Spinelli and head to the business district's first java kiosk for your early morning caffeine fix. This chic, hole-in-wall stand at the base of Prudential Tower is the brainchild of Aussie native Danielle Nicholas, who's hoping to mirror the takeaway concept so successful in cities such as Sydney, New York and London. Cuppas ($4-$5) courtesy of local roasters Highlander Coffee and Sarnies - prepared on its shiny La Marzocco machine - make for a good, strong brew, while there's also Italian-style paninis ($10-$12) and breakfast staples like yoghurt and meusli for a quick, on-the-go chow.
