About this space

Cafe in Thornbury, Melbourne, known for its quirky, retro-inspired vibe with a touch of industrial charm. The architecture embraces a minimalist aesthetic, with exposed brick walls, large open windows, and a modest exterior that blends seamlessly with the laid-back Thornbury streetscape. A small courtyard with kitchen garden, an outdoor deck that doubles as a seating area, and a full size mural complete the picture. Inside, the decor feels like a nostalgic nod to the past, featuring mismatched furniture, vintage signs, and playful art that exudes personality.

The seating arrangements often include a mix of rustic wooden tables, retro metal chairs, and cozy nooks where people can relax with a coffee. There’s a strong DIY aesthetic to the decor, with upcycled pieces and eclectic decorations that give the space an unpolished yet welcoming vibe. The lighting is warm, often relying on natural light during the day, complemented by simple pendant lights in the evenings.
