About EightyTwenty Canberra

EightyTwenty is a Civic cafe on Mort Street that does breakfast and lunch on weekdays, with housemade sourdough a big part of the appeal. It's a cafe first, so think of it as a bakery stop when sourdough, bagels or a bread-based breakfast is what you're after.

The menu leans on clean, natural, unprocessed ingredients, and the kitchen keeps gluten-free and vegan options on hand. One local called the vegan choices awesome, and another praised the generous portions. Sourdough gets a mention in its own right. Takeaway is on the menu if you're short on time.

The coffee is what we hear about most. Locals talk about it as smooth and well made, and Will on the machine gets named as the reason it's so good. Staff are friendly, and one visitor said a wrap was remade without sauce when they asked. Good value comes up too, even if one person felt it was a touch pricey for the quality. Locals do mention that food can take a little while when the place is busy, which is rarely a bad sign.

There's seating inside and out, and the outdoor tables suit a sunny morning. The entrance and seating are wheelchair accessible, and you can book a table. It's in the city centre, so it's an easy walk from the CBD. The cafe opens early on weekdays, but check the hours before you head in.
