Directions

A large, well-designed cafe in a converted warehouse space near Southern Cross Station that manages to feel both spacious and warm. The coffee program uses ST. ALi beans and is consistently reliable, and the all-day food menu is genuinely good. Its size means it rarely feels as crushingly crowded as smaller CBD spots, making it a practical choice for meetings.
