Funky, authentic and eclectic, the Sweatshop is unlike most cafés/bars in Townsville. Not only do they serve decent coffee (no extra for soy) but the best chai latte in town. Their jaffles and jam-jar cocktails are stand-outs. There is also tapas, wraps, salads, pancakes and gelato on offer. Boutique beers and ciders tickle your tastebuds. They also proudly support local artists and charities. Do yourself a favour and check it out. Open til midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.

Approximate cost: $7
