Tucked in a leafy corner of Darlinghurst, this tiny rustic cafe is full of old trinkets, exposed brick walls, and little alcoves to sit in—and is usually filled with the area’s creatives. Their spinach, pear, cucumber, banana, mint, and coconut water smoothie, with its dash of turmeric, matches the general vibe of the cafe—down-to-earth, with a hint of cool. The cafe’s located at the intersection of upmarket Paddington and hip Surry Hills, so perch at a table by one of the bay windows to watch the foot traffic go by. It’s only a small place, so it does get packed out here at busy times—you have been warned.
