Monk Bodhi Dharma

Why it's a must-try

Monk Bodhi Dharma sits in a tiny brick building behind Carlisle Street that may once have been a bakehouse. It roasts its coffee in-house, mostly single-estate lots bought direct, and the baristas will help you pick one that suits your taste.

The menu is fully vegetarian, without even eggs, with dishes such as a porridge with stewed berries and a spiced bircher. Diners share an old workbench or sit at converted Singer sewing tables.
