There's nothing worse than being in desperate need of coffee but having no change in your wallet.

Luckily, some of our favourite cafés have now caught on to this eternal struggle and are making it much easier for you to get your daily fix of caffeine - without counting up your 5c coins or enduring that awkward silence as you wait for your chip and pin payment to go through.

These hot spots will all let you pay for your fix with a quick tap of your card, whether means less time waiting in a long queue!

1. Dolce Sicily 

This Dawson Street spot serves delicious sweet treats and great coffee to go with them. The interior is very kitsch and cute too.

2. KC Peaches

You can pay with contactless at their Nassau Street and Dame Street locations, which is very handy for a quick coffee or one of their delish salad boxes.

3. Yogism

Nestled away inside George's Street Arcade is the frozen yoghurt specialist, Yogism. If you guess the weight of your froyo creation correctly, then it's on the house!

Unfortunately, they don't have this offer on their coffee too.

4. Kaph

Whether a flat white or a straight espresso is your vibe, Kaph Speciality Coffee do coffee very, very well. 

5. Roasted Bean Coffee Co.

Surrounded by Georgian-style architecture, you can enjoy your coffee and feel the stress drain away at this North Great George's Street hideaway.

7. Java

This little spot on Molesworth Street is one of our favourites and they always have a few interesting blends to choose from.

12. Thru the Green

A novelty or a stroke of genius? This is a drive-through café in Windy Arbour, which also serves doughnuts! What's not to love?
