Ophelia Westgarth

Cafe$

Part-cafe, part-wine bar from the crew behind Terror Twilight and Convoy.

Proving that the best cafes today do more than eggs and coffee, this lush corner site has DJs playing vinyl, serves brunch-ready dishes with aplomb and is also open for dinner. By day, get your coffee as a cold brew spritz and dig into a buckwheat galette with rocket pesto; after dark, come for pasta, schnitzel and focaccia-friendly snacks.

Good to know: Those cakes you’re loving by the slice? Also available to order whole.
