Small Block prides itself on being a neighbourhood cafe that’s kid friendly and relaxed- confirmed by the fact that you’ll be greeted cheerfully upon entry.

It’s become a bit of local folk-lore that owner Michael Hole bought the garage style cafe after working the floor and really buying into the neighbourhood spirit -and he’s been turning out great coffee, breakfasts and lunches with a grin ever since.

The name is a bit misleading… this block ain’t so small. A couple of good-sized rooms, along with a compact sunny side courtyard, mean plenty of space for prams and weekend breakfasts with a broadsheet. Huge tram-like numbers adorning the red and white walls give an arty touch to the decidedly pre-loved space, and there are old, red vinyl school chairs to match.

The brunchy feel menu pumps out free-range eggs from happy chickens, French toast or maybe ‘roo burgers if that’s your thing.
