Forget those floury and dry monstrosities — Opus Coffee Brewers' muffins are glorious and come in flavours like strawberries and cream or caramelised peach, almond and white chocolate. The hip local coffee spot opened on Keira Street in 2016. Fair warning: seating is limited, so be prepared to wait. There's a communal table out the back and a few bench seats, too. Or takeaway — most of the menu is easily transportable.
Opus uses Single O for its house blend for milk coffees and rotates its black coffee roast weekly. Tuck in to a hearty meal from the vegetarian-friendly menu, including a house-made bagel topped with Nutella and sea salt or haloumi, fried egg, jalapeño jam and green; a brekkie bowl with poached eggs, sesame black rice and kimchi; or, gluten free granola with coconut yoghurt.
