A celebrated sports coach once said victory was not about doing one thing 100 per cent better, but doing 100 things one per cent better. This family-run cafe follows that maxim: poached eggs and avocado on toast get a sprinkling of dukkah, while porridge with pecans and maple syrup might merit a 'best ever tasted' verdict. The specials card on each table offers things like lentil and bacon soup in winter or smoked salmon, dill and ricotta pikelets in warmer months. Staff have that unteachable knack of being personable yet industrious. If it's crowded, try the homely upstairs room (open fire in winter), complete with games to keep the nippers entertained.
