The Dolly team's next-door nook is a masterclass in paninis and toasties. Grab fancy pantry items from the retail section on your way out.

A “new-age deli” and coffee shop by the Whistle & Flute crew with a sun-sprayed glasshouse, just down the road from its sibling.

Whistle and Flute’s lush courtyard is one of Unley’s major attractions. Whether you’re looking for uppers or downers, this cool cafe and bar has you covered.

A reliable all-rounder that brings inner-city cool to the suburbs.

The plant-centric pop-up so good, it progressed to permanence.

An eccentric, approachable cafe.

No doughnuts or bacon to be found here.

Stop by this slick bar, by the team behind Lune, for crab soldiers, buttermilk-fried quail and a grilled cheese sandwich with mushroom and Vegemite. Plus, an approachable wine list favouring local producers.

A tiny wine bar which feels like home.

This handsome brick building looks the kind of quaint, well-maintained place you’d expect to find a good Devonshire tea. But no – since 1975 it’s been peddling plants, gardening advice, furniture and homewares, with an emphasis on higher-end heritage brands such as William Morris and Burgon & Ball.

A charming, tightly curated retail space for small and independent makers.

Come for the paint, stay for the culture.
