Our story

Built around a tree that was here first.

6:30Doors open on weekdays
40Seats, half in the courtyard
1Very old tuart tree

When we took over the old corner deli in 2019, the tuart out the back was the reason we signed the lease. We built the courtyard around it, kept the shade, and opened a café for the people who live and work around Eighth Avenue.

We keep the menu short, cook most things from scratch, and buy from people we can drive to.

Coffee from BayswaterRoasted weekly, ten minutes up the road.
Bread from BassendeanSourdough and pastries delivered at dawn.
Eggs from the Chittering ValleyFree range, from a family farm an hour north.

Courtyard hour

The sun clears the roofline and the courtyard fills with prams and dogs.

Good to know

Questions we hear a lot

Anything else, give us a call during opening hours or ask at the counter.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes. Dogs are welcome in the courtyard, and there's always a water bowl by the gate. We ask that they stay on a lead.

Do you cater for gluten free and vegan diets?

Most dishes can be made gluten free, and our vegan options are marked on the menu. Our kitchen handles gluten and nuts, so we can't promise there's no trace.

Is there room for prams and wheelchairs?

The courtyard is step-free from the side gate, and there's an accessible bathroom inside.

Can I book for a group bigger than 10?

For larger groups, or for the courtyard after hours, please use the catering enquiry above and we'll put a plan together with you.

Do you sell beans to take home?

Yes, 250g and 1kg bags of the house blend and the single origin of the month. We're happy to grind them for your brewer.
