A WEST END LOCAL’S GUIDE TO COFFEE OVER THE FESTIVE BREAK

If you live in West End and enjoy walking to get a takeaway coffee every single morning (as I do with my trusty reusable cup), this article is for you. My favourite coffee place is completely closing over the Christmas and New Year break, which left me wondering, ‘So where will I go now?’ This time of year is great for exploring some of West End’s fantastic local coffee places that might deviate slightly from the daily routine.

I have put together a list of the West End coffee places that have published their festive trading hours, which will come in handy during the critical public holiday times.

 

Let’s start with the big one: Christmas Day. Who’s still open in West End?

Good Good 24 Beesley Street is open 7am – 10am

Kürtosh West Village is open all day from 7am to 10pm

 

As for the day after, who’s open on Boxing Day?

Blackstar Coffee Roasters 44 Thomas Street is open 7am – 2:30pm

NYC Bagel Deli 57 Vulture Street is open 7:30am – 2pm

Vulture Street Espresso 85 Vulture Street 7am – 3pm

The Cheeky Bean Espresso Bar, Montague Markets is open 5am – 1pm (not to be confused with the other Cheeky Bean in West End which will be closed that day)

Little Roger Coffee Shop 4/35 Tondara Lane (via Rogers Street) 6am – 12pm

 

So how about New Year’s Day. Who’s open?
