AI Summary

A hidden CBD laneway cafe serving dark-roast coffee, standout sandwiches and a surprise cocktail list.

A tucked-away, vintage-styled laneway cafe. leather seating, jazzy music and woody interiors, with a moody, speakeasy-like feel overlooking Bourke St.

Dark-roast coffee program, a barbershop and tattoo-removal studio sharing the same floor, and vintage leather-and-wood decor with natural light.

No specific national cuisine claimed. the drawcard is the vintage, multi-purpose laneway concept (cafe, bar, barbershop, tattoo studio) rather than a heritage cuisine.

Mostly seen as worth it for the quality and setting, though one reviewer flagged it as expensive for the category. an $8 iced long black and $35 smashed avo.
