Bird on the Roof feels like it was designed exclusively for folks who miss the city’s busy coffeeshops, eavesdropping while remote working, or just slightly overpaying for lattes and toast. This seasonal Aussie coffee shop offers third-wave espresso drinks, plus a sunny, chill cafe serving all types of brunch dishes. You can get things like housemade granola on coconut yogurt and a warm grain bowl topped with a runny egg and roasted vegetables—all of which might be a nice break from vacation chicken tenders. The blueberry buttermilk pancakes and steak frites with chimichurri and aioli are also excellent.
