How we picked best cafes in Seven Hills

Cafes are ordered by a score that weighs both their feedback and how much of it there is, so a cafe with a long record sits above one with a handful of comments. For this page that score is combined with brunch on the menu, weekend opening, dog access and outdoor tables. Each cafe's own page text, covering its food and coffee, also counts.
