Darwin has plenty of local roasters and specialist baristas, now boasting lots of cosy cafés, patisseries and seaside eateries to choose from. So whether you fancy a long and relaxing brunch, a quick coffee or an afternoon drink, you'll find exactly what you're looking for in garden cafes of specialist bakeries.
