A hipster little joint located at the south end of Newtown with a cool mish mash of repurposed tables and seating, with a mighty cool artwork in the main wall by the coffee machine. Scotty Nagy, the artist has certainly produced something that fits the space perfectly.
An interesting and eclectic menu from Welsh rarebit, to buckwheat pancakes and smoked trout.
The Zucchini flower taco were awesome, a small corn soft taco, topped with a garlic confiet cashew cream, cured zucchini, chestnut crumble and red cabbage. $7 each, but we’d recommend getting 2 since they’re quite small.
The Divorced Eggs, or Poached eggs, smothered with chimichurri and a roast pepper walnut and ginger puree, toasted pistachios, Meredith farm feta served on brickfields rye and caraway. Strong coriander flavour to it, but a good dish.
The cafe uses little Marionette coffee beans, we went for the batch brew which was decent, as well as a brewed chai.
There was a fair wait on our visit, but they did a good job keeping us informed of wait time. The man waiting our table was really good at his job.
