Dāku Coffee Kensington

Open from 7:30 on weekday mornings and seven days a week, this Kensington spot keeps early hours for locals who want their first cup before the day properly begins. It's an easygoing neighbourhood affair: dogs are welcome, the entrance and seating are both wheelchair-accessible, and you can dine in, take away or order delivery depending on your mood. A 4.3 rating from more than 300 reviews suggests it's doing plenty right.
