It’s December (already?!), and the end-of-year grind is real. To help you power through the final work stretch, we’ve rounded up the best South Bank cafes to escape to for your next meeting. Because, let’s be honest, the meeting room is not the vibe, and a caffeine-fuelled change of scenery is exactly what you need.
1. C’est Du Gâteau Turn your next meeting into a chic affair at C’est Du Gâteau. This Parisian-inspired gem is the ultimate backdrop for brainstorming sessions with its flawless coffee, buttery croissants, and elegant vibes. For extra flair, dunk your croissant in your coffee— très magnifique!
2. Vici Impress your team by swapping the office for Vici. Known for their impeccable Italian fare, they also pour a mean Campos coffee to keep you energised. Open from 7am daily, it’s the ideal spot for an early meeting fuelled by top-notch coffee and a side of pastries.
3. Denim Co. For meetings that need a relaxed yet productive atmosphere, Denim Co. is your go-to. Settle in with stunning Parklands views, their premium Lavazza coffee, and a plate of chilli scrambled eggs to keep the ideas (and caffeine) flowing.
4. Poppies When big decisions are on the table, head to Poppies. Its laid-back vibe, stellar coffee, and prime South Bank location make it the perfect spot to hash out those final end-of-year plans.
5. Lost Bean Take your next client meeting to the next level at Lost Bean, where the coffee is as beautiful as it is delicious. Their next-level latte art and drool-worthy food lineup of sweet and savoury treats will ensure you leave with smiles and sealed deals.
