Ginger Jones

The cool cafe wave has reached zone 2 with the opening of Ginger Jones, where great coffee and smart food come in a contemporary semi-industrial setting. The cafe is narrow, with polished concrete floors, whitewashed walls and a sharp timber counter. On-trend brekkies include a vegetarian option with field mushrooms, wilted spinach and house-made baked beans. Free-range eggs come baked, benedict and Atlantic; and buttermilk pancakes with sticky sauces please breakfast dessert devotees. At lunch, look for cafe classics such as crisp-skinned pork belly on slaw, steak sandwich with house-made relish and chicken caesar.
