The Atmosphere
Clay. is a small, aesthetically pleasing café with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. There are a few indoor and outdoor tables, making it a lovely little spot to sit down and enjoy your coffee. It tends to get quite busy in the mornings, which is always a good sign of a popular local coffee spot. The baristas are always lovely, welcoming you with a smile and making you feel right at home.
The Coffee
Clay. uses locally roasted Redbrick Coffee beans, a Canberra-based specialty coffee roaster that has been sourcing and roasting coffee since 2011. What I particularly love about Redbrick is their focus on quality, carefully sourced beans and developing different blends to bring out a variety of flavour profiles. Their range includes everything from classic, chocolatey and caramel notes to richer, more intense coffee profiles and more complex, fruity flavours.
I'd never tried Redbrick Coffee before visiting Clay., but I have to say, I absolutely love the intensity of their coffee. If you're visiting, I'd definitely recommend trying their flat whites or iced lattes. Both are great options if you're stopping by for your morning caffeine fix.
The Food & Sweet Treats
If you're after something to eat alongside your coffee, Clay. offers a selection of toasties and sourdough served with condiments, making for a lovely option if you're after something simple for breakfast. They also have a selection of freshly baked cakes and sweet treats, including ButterBoy, which is a personal favourite of mine!
One thing worth mentioning is that their cakes and sweet treats tend to sell out quickly, particularly during the busy morning rush, so I'd recommend getting in early if you have your eye on something sweet. There's nothing worse than arriving for your coffee and finding the cake cabinet has already been cleared!
