Paper Moon
Café, Annerley Rd
POWER, Reddit recommended
, work score 100Hey it may be a bit of a commute but paper moon in Annerley is absolutely amazing. They have PowerPoint's, comfortable chairs, good lighting. It doesn't normally get too loud and I can imagine studying there would be the perfect atmosphere!

Coffee Anthology
Café, Charlotte Street
Reddit recommended
