The Coffee Academics

A café that exists alongside Pedder on Scott's haute-as-hell boutiques would have to keep up appearances – and this Hong Kong import certainly does. With natural light, tatami seating, an eye-catching neon sign and a hand brew bar where you can 'gram your coffee being made, it's a hit with the crowds. Food options include filling mains like the truffle portobello pizza ($24) and pancake tower ($20), while its extensive coffee menu includes a variety of pour over blends, ice drip coffee and house brand cold brews.
