Las Chicas, Balaclava

Abandon Wall Two 80s’ indifference (ok... you can pretend you don’t recognize me from the last 7 years I’ve been coming here..), and jump on the bandwagon for the best coffee (new leader!) in the 'Balaclava Bagel Belt' - Las Chicas. There’s snappy but charmed service, an extra shot as standard in the large cup, and warm muffins with the tastiest tops this side of a Kylie concert. The takeaway service window is ideal for coffee in transit, but if you can occasionally linger longer, there are some fabulous savory breakfast combos.
