Pauline's pairs a rotating single-origin alongside its house blend with latte art precise enough that regulars mention it unprompted, backed by baking (those cardamom buns) that pulls its weight against the coffee.
Pauline's · 4 Park Rd
Two espresso options, with the premium tier rotating. If the Mesquite decaf is on, order it.
Pauline's · 277 Main Rd
The rotating single-origin espresso alongside the house blend puts this clearly in specialty territory. The cardamom buns are worth coming for regardless.
Pauline's · 37A Somerset Rd
A converted monastery courtyard in Green Point, with baked goods worth the detour and latte art that actually holds up.
