Locals come first at this neighbourhood cafe, set in a former milk bar. You’ll spot them out the front enjoying a reimagined smashed avo and Padre coffee. Or, on warmer days, in the courtyard with an Espresso Martini.

Settle in at this spacious warehouse eatery – formerly an old denim factory – and order the fiery chili eggs, a roast-chicken roll with stuffing and gravy, or an eggs Benny spinoff with melty slow-cooked beef short ribs.

This cafe may be stuck on an ’80s classic, but it sure does a good breakfast.

From live music to a weekly book club, this neighbourhood wine bar is all about community. Visit for a Victorian-heavy wine list, a rotating snack menu and dog-friendly courtyard.

A family-run Middle Eastern bakery in the suburbs.
