Six-metre ceilings, wrapped in beautiful glass, facing north-east with views of the water.Serving all of our favourites, some of the best coffee in Canberra, and awesome vibes all year long. It’s our sunny site for the south side and we couldn’t be prouder.Come for breakfast, brunch or lunch, or grab a takeaway coffee, chai or hot chocolate before setting off towards Lake Tuggeranong.Greenway is a nod to everything we hold dear, not least of all, the fact that it’s a collaboration with friends. Tim and Tristan, who used to manage Aranda but spent 2016-2019 setting up their own successful store Atlas on Hibberson in Gungahlin, helped us make this (rather large!) slice of paradise a reality.

Thanks TBT. Our cycling group relies on cafes like yours. We appreciate that you take and hold reservations for a group of 10-12. We like the outdoor tables so we can talk as a group.

Service and people very nice, atmosphere was great but steak was plain and overpriced (disappointing). Nonetheless we’ll be back and I’ll lower my expectations on food - it’s a pub!

Went for coffee and cake with friends. It very crowded and a little noisy inside, however I should have booked an outside table. The manager kindly moved us to an outside table once one was available, and it was very pleasant. The coffee was very good, as were the tarts and muffins we ordered. Staff were friendly and helpful, and we will definitely return.
