Kau

Contemporary

Northcote's hip strip doesn't end at Separation Street, and those who haunt High Street's northern reaches enjoy a growing number of sharp cafe options. Kau enlivens its compact shopfront with burnished bronze tables and repurposed wood, and a delightfully eclectic menu that's worth exploring. There's plenty of baked egg options (especially on the extensive specials board), and you can lunch on a crisp roti with lentil dahl and yoghurt or an ample spinach and haloumi triangle that loves a bit of lemon. Atomica's Tiger Ray blend has a floral whiff and cocoa notes: lovely black or in milk.
