'And the waitress is practising politics, ' sings Billy Joel, rather loudly, as a mixed bunch of Redfernians gather for gossip and rhubarb and strawberry crumble at this curving-around-the-corner cafe. 'Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness' doesn't apply here, as the crowds hang out over a Spanish-inspired breakfast of eggs flamenco, and a bittersweet Toby's Estate caffe latte ($3.50), or come back in the evening for tapas and Estrella beer. The barista-by-day/bar-guy-by-night gets the best spot here, with an open window to the verandah'd street on Redfern's busiest corner. Your table might wobble, but that's all part of the rustic tavern schtick.
