The Studio by The What If Society
Contemporary$$
A coffee shop by day and wine bar by night.
Eilish Maloney is the founder of zero-waste food co-operative What If Society, and this inviting, natural-light-filled space is where she nourishes loyal regulars with thoughtful, big-flavoured cooking. By day there’s a heady bakery menu of cakes, pies, slices and sausage rolls, plus smart brunchy plates such as battered pak choy with fermented chilli, curry and a crumbed egg.
On Thursday to Saturday evenings The Studio switches to wine-bar mode, and you can make a full meal out of things like oysters with finger lime oil, fried cabbage with chilli labneh and beef carpaccio with confit smoked tomato. Coffee, cocktails and regularly changing wines are top-notch, too.
