Gardiner & Field

In a leafy suburban pocket with a tennis club for a neighbour sits this milk bar-turned corner-store cafe. In a clean, bright space owners Jesse Feldy and Nick Gardiner offer breakfast and lunch classics with the odd twist. You can have broad bean, pea, mint and feta smash with your poached eggs, or the intriguing baked rhubarb rolled in tortillas cooked French-toast style. Lunch might be house-made toasted flatbread with tasty pulled lamb, eggplant and harissa or a Thai-spiced chicken sandwich. House-made brownies, lemon slices and big choc chip cookies go down a treat with Maling Room coffee.
