Trendy Cafe Could Probably Do With Bigger Tables

The cafe, which has a nice fit-out and good natural light, currently invites groups of two to four people to eat around what is essentially a stool.

“It’s a good spot,” said local customer Alice (28), holding her coffee while a waiter attempted to put her breakfast down.

“Although I reckon they could probably get some tables.”

Alice said she had initially assumed the small wooden object beside her was another seat.

It became clear this was not the case when her friend sat opposite her and a staff member placed two menus on it.

The pair have since been taking turns using the available surface, with Alice holding her plate while her friend cuts through a piece of sourdough.

“You can fit the coffees on here pretty comfortably,” she said.

“But then you’ve got the food.”

Owner Sam (34) said the furniture was an important part of the cafe’s overall aesthetic.

“Haha, we do things a little differently around here,” he said.

“Obviously a normal table would work better. But that wasn’t really the direction we wanted to go.”

Despite the arrangement, customers say they will continue visiting because the coffee is good and their friends like going there.
