Although Loco changed management in 2015, the cafe hasn’t lost its charm. It’s now owned by The Coffee Culture Communication Group, the same company that brought Einstein’s 251 , Sir Charles and Prospect Espresso from the original groups of founders.
It’s meant a switch in coffee providers (the beans are now from Axil Coffee Roasters), and a renovation to foster a warm, inviting environment. The wooden tables sit on chocolate-coloured floorboards, lit by dangling Edison lamps.
For a nutrient boost, there’s a green super bowl on the menu - a combination of kale, lentils, corn and chilli topped with a poached egg. While some things have changed, others remain the same, including the roasted-field-mushrooms dish.
Baristas liven lattes and flat whites with clever coffee art - lions, swans, ridiculously detailed faces – you name it.
Loco continues to be one of the area’s most trusted cafes, and a comforting escape from bustling Glen Huntly Road.
