We were doing a little cafe reconnoiter this morning, Redfern via Bourke Street and back to the city. Anyway, Option One turned out to be Option Best. Moose is stashed in a corner of Redfern that could have just done with any cafe, let alone a good one.
The nattily-tiled place is only tiny, offering a single table inside and a smattering of outdoor seating. Similarly, the menu is compact, with an organic focus and gluten-free options if you're that way inclined. Out of interest, I got a chai loaf with sour cherries which is a welcome breakfast remix of your classic banana bread. Coffee, via Wes of the sadly defunct Love Your Butcher, comes recommended.
The cliche I'm trying to avoid using here is quality-not-quantity, but it's just so apt. So is this one: there's nothing wrong doing a few things and doing them well.

About
TwoThousand is a subcultural guide to Sydney, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Sydney writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence TwoThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
