Regulars usually look for spots that allow customisation of ice and sugar, giving you a drink tailored to your taste rather than a generic premix. In suburban pockets like Avonhead, having a relaxed spot nearby for a refreshing pause or a quiet bite is an easy ritual for local residents and students alike.
