Vinyl-spinning Northcote café-bar with inventive menus and a cult $20 Tuesday pasta night.

A beautifully appointed corner venue with warm wood tones, lush greenery, and a dramatic wall of records spinning on a turntable throughout service. Intimate and buzzy by night with lowered lighting; bright and spacious by morning. Noise levels run high. the acoustics are part of the energy rather than a quiet escape.

In-house turntable and curated vinyl record collection plays continuously throughout service. Separate unadvertised vegan menu available on request. Signature crafted coffee and iced latte programme, including the much-loved miso butterscotch latte. Daily specials including a $20 Tuesday pasta night and Friday dinner service with cocktails.

Contemporary Melbourne café-restaurant culture at its most considered. European culinary influences. French galette, Italian pasta, classic cocktail programme. integrated through a distinctly Melbourne sensibility.

Premium for the inner north. cabinet items and mains sit at the higher end, and an 11% weekend surcharge (18% public holidays) catches visitors off guard. The Tuesday $20 pasta is exceptional value and the primary reason many regulars first discover the venue.
