How we picked best cafes in Canley Heights

Cafes are ordered by visitor scores, but a cafe with only a few scores is pulled back toward a typical score, so a handful of perfect marks cannot push a new place to the top. A small lift goes to cafes whose notes name dishes to order and describe the coffee. Each pick then draws on what its own menu and coffee notes say, with opening hours and the nearest park added alongside.
