Being an avid fan of Te Aro on Queen, I have become equally as avid a fan of Crafted, which serves up their signature Big Bro espresso in a warm, woodsy atmosphere. Crafted is lovely both in the summer (the huge front window allows for lots of natural light, and there are a variety of tasty iced beverages on offer) and in the winter (the perfect spot to cozy up with a hot beverage and a good book).
Also, there is a barista here who must be some sort of coffee angel. She makes the best cortados I have ever had. And she is also incredibly sweet and friendly.
