Boma Coffee is a bright and compact cafe that opened in 2018. It’s run by sisters Chloe and Tash Strachan (both Pango Coffee). Come here for refreshing breakfasts, grab-and-go pastries, hot coffees and a buzzy dining area out the front.

Industry Beans is the chosen roast and Larsen & Thompson’s tea is also on pour. Bread and other pastries come from Penny for Pound , while crumpets from Holy Crumpets are also available, and might come slathered in butter and drizzled in honey.

If the sun’s out, take a seat among the locals and dogs out front and order something from the stellar brunch menu. Crowd favourites include the chilli scramble (which might also be piled into a grab-and-go brioche burger) and the Southern fried chicken burger.

Back inside, the fit-out is inspired by the Zimbabwean-born Strachan sisters’ roots. The warm timber slats on the walls, rattan lampshades above the counter and olive-green paint nod to the grass and thatching of bomas (enclosures traditionally used for containing livestock or community gatherings in parts of Africa). The inviting space, formerly home to a fish and chip shop, is also filled out with brass tables, birch stools and pink accents.
