Wooden Whisk opens espresso bar spinoff

Sean Flanagan, former co-owner of Potts Point cafe institution La Buvette, has spread his wings north.

The Wooden Whisk, in St Leonards, last week opened an espresso bar spinoff at 35 Chandof Street called Whisk Espresso. They both use Single Origin Roasters coffee.

The menu at Wooden Whisk shows Flanagan's pedigree working at London restaurants Mosimanns and Le Gavroche – baked beans are served with Rodriguez chorizo and black pudding.
