We strolled over to Ona and it was busy but relaxed, no hustle here, but not slow in an annoying way at all. They said it would be a little wait for 4, so we grabbed coffees and relaxed on the benches out front. Took about 5 minutes to get seated on a Saturday morning, so things were moving. The seating areas are a little tight, but not unbearable. We didn't score one of the bigger tables though. Coffee was solid if a little bitter for my taste, but the roast was good. I had the special, French toast with espresso ice cream filling and a strawberry jam topping...it was as amazing as it sounds. Everyone else loved their orders, but the serving sizes were a little smallish for the price, but the quality was good so no complaints. And, to top it off we grabbed a couple of macaroons on the way out and they threw in an extra one on the house, so they've got my love forever! Great spot for brunch in Canberra!

The coffee is lovely and the quality consistent even when they're really churning them out. Plus, they have a really great mug that seems engineered to feel comforting in your hand on a cold day.
