For some inexplicable reason, the CBD is relatively short of good coffee. But it’s okay, because we have Brother Baba Budan. And to be fair, it's unlikely we’d go anywhere else.

Brother Baba Budan is the city operation from the Seven Seeds team, and as you might expect from these guys, it’s an exceptional café. The house coffee is the Seven Seeds blend from the team’s Carlton café and roastery, and like their big brother, they also offer a coffee of the day – usually a single origin.

A heads up: there’s no food other than small cakes and pastries – it’s all about the coffee here. The space is small, with a single communal table, a tiny bar and a total of about 15 seats; Budan is, predominately, a takeaway spot.

You should expect a wait when it’s busy, and it’s usually busy - people come from all parts of the city to make their coffee break worth it.
