Music is a world within itself” are the lyrics that kick off Stevie Wonder’s 1976 hit Sir Duke. Replace the word “music” with “this new all-day diner” and the same message rings true for the song’s Puckle Street namesake.
Waiters roam the room in tailored grey aprons that complement a central rendered concrete bench. They’re delivering Code Black coffees and Praha Chai lattes to customers settled into creamy brown leather banquettes.
There’s a circular theme used throughout the space, from the lighting to large round mirrors to a disc-shaped wall garden. A white and gold coffee machine sits atop a grand terrazzo
bar, and indoor plants – standing tall or draping elegantly from hanging pots – give the cafe a welcome dose
of nature.
Expect breakfast dishes served all day (eggs, fritters, a breakfast salad and French toast); a range of hearty burgers and sandwiches (with beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian options); share plates, plus more re ned dishes for dinner.
Produce comes from local suppliers such as Little Bertha’s free-range eggs, Cremorne’s Empire Bakery, and Clover Valley Meat. A range of sweets are also baked in-house, and it’s here where the cafe’s best dish makes an appearance
