Haven Coffee Green Square
Escape the jumble of the inner city at this minimalist third space, conceived as a refuge with an uncompromising approach to coffee and Asian-inspired cuisine.
Overview
Haven is often the port of call for those of us who only accept the finest specialty coffee, with sleek stores in happening spots like Darling Square and Barangaroo. Now, a decade after its launch, the team has opened a new flagship cafe, bringing its top-notch brewing game and inventive cuisine to Green Square in Zetland.
With the brand characterised by its pared-back ethos, tactile materials and neutral hues also define the latest store's minimalist space. Guided by award-winning interior architect MOYA & CO, Haven Directors Kit Tran and Herman Chui collaborated with the studio once more for Green Square, shaping a thoughtful design that elevates daily rituals while fostering connection.
The brew bar is where the magic happens. Stacked with cutting-edge coffee technology that caters to serious javaphiles, Haven's selection of house-roasted beans each deliver a sophisticated flavour profile. Choose a special release like their Guatemala, Colombia or Panama beans, or see what rotating origin is brewing on the day.
Don't stress if you're outside your comfort zone. The experts behind the bar will help you craft the perfect order, whether you're looking for espresso, pour-over, cold brew or batched brew. And if you're not feeling coffee, there's always the option of sipping down an iced matcha, a chai latte or a house-made strawberry mint soda, alongside several more options.
Food is also an essential aspect of the Haven experience. An Asian-inspired menu spans refined takes on classic breakfast and lunch fare. Think smashed avo and cinnamon custard french toast alongside XO prawn spaghetti and truffle congee. Meanwhile, a dedicated sweet treats menu features ideal coffee pairings like house-baked banana bread and Haven matcha cake.
Reminiscent of the high-end cafes epicurious locals and travellers seek out in cities like Tokyo, Hanoi and Singapore, Haven Green Square is an inviting third space where coffee-lovers feel right at home. Set within a rapidly growing precinct, this highly intentional cafe offers a safe retreat from the chaotic nature of inner-city life.
