6. Cafe Kreams

Korean-style cafe, Cafe Kreams, made waves on social media when it first opened for their rustic, autumnal interior, complete with a fall-toned botanical ceiling, and the Korean coffees they made in-house. The space is open till 11pm every day of the week except Sunday, making it a great pick in the CBD area for a late-night coffee and chat, or a post-dinner study session. The coffee starts at $5.50 for a Double Espresso, and goes up to $12 for their house-made Cold Brew. We recommend trying their caffeine-free Kreamy Krafts, especially the Kreamy Sweet Potato Latte ($11), or turning to some of the gorgeous cakes available daily.
