One of the more prominent cafés in town, Group Therapy Coffee has grown from a humble events space to one of the most recognisable names in the local food scene. Here, you can find a smorgasbord of sandwiches, homemade desserts, and fresh bakes made with love. They’re also reasonably priced, which means you can indulge without breaking the bank.
Not to be missed is the Carrot Cake ($8) which features four layers of sponge with light cream cheese frosting and walnuts. For something more decadent, go for the Cookies and Cream Cheesecake ($7) or New York Cheesecake ($7). Wash it all down with Fresh Juice ($6) or a double-shot cuppa ($3.50 – $8.50).
