Italians won’t drink milk in their coffees after 12pm. While Australians seem to be a little more flexible with the timing of their caffeine intake, there’s definitely a tendency to favour the morning hit of coffee, with some cafes closing their doors around 4pm. Sometimes, you need a pick-me-up after work before a full night of socialising. Here are our suggestions for cafes serving coffee all day long.
