Frish and Barc, Como 

Owners of friendly local cafe Frish and Barc set out to create a welcoming space with a sense of community. The interior is refreshingly bright and airy, and all-day breakfast menu sure to impress - but the real hero here is their coffee. Using beans by local roaster Top Shelf Coffee, their blends are nothing short of the best. Ask their knowledgeable baristas for a recommendation.
