2204
There's a recipe thus: room of bare bricks, minimal installation, vintage or otherwise-recovered furniture, correct lighting, irreverent decoration, food and drinks. Chingalings kinda did it, Pocket took the same approach, and now 2204 is in on the act. For the record, I like it.
This little recess on the Addison Road is commendable for a bunch of things, not least of which is the decision to open on Addison Road - a delightful thoroughfare, but not quite as commercially viable as, say, Crown Street might be for a cafe.
Love Grub
It's often difficult to whole-heartedly recommend a cafe. Ultimately, they all do roughly the same thing. Are you really, sincerely, going to tell someone to brave the weekend warriors in Bondi or roll across the bridge or, in this case, navigate Alexandria, for cafe fare and good coffee? I can't, so I'll figure that you're kinda local, or going to the nearby Mitchell Road Auctions, or something.
Berkelouw Books, Newtown
Legend has it that the warehouse this bookstore calls home used to play host to an infamous brand of S&M parties. Apparently, and I get this from the finest source - an old flat mate who once stumbled into one of them 'while drunk' (a likely story) - there was a strict 'no leather, no entry' policy, and 'all the chicks had their tits out'.
South End Cafe
This end of King Street can be treacherous. It's like the Bermuda Triangle of the inner-inner West: you find a shop you like, you mark it down on the map that lives inside your brain, but when you head back to find it later, it's vanished! Swoosh! Gone. Then you try again the next week and there it is, all chirpy and 'where you been, bro?'.
Fort Denison Cafe & Restaurant
Ah, Sydney. Land of the long lunch.
With such amazing weather, breath-taking scenery, and delicious food, it's no wonder Sydneysiders go ape-shit for al fresco dining. In the middle of Sydney Harbour sits Fort Denison Café - possibly the best spot to share a few bottles with friends.
Fort Denison was nicknamed "Pinchgut" in the 1700s due to the crappy prison meals.
La Piadina
The Zizioli brothers (Damiano, previously of Pizza Mario, and Fausto, the barista from Paddington Alimentari), along with their good friend Sam, have turned the simple into the sensational...
This is something of a tradition, said to have its beginnings in Emilia Romagna many moons ago. From this part of northern Italy, variations have been passed down through the regions between families, and now it is here in Sydney's Bondi Beach.
Sparkle Cupcakery
According to Kathryn, the owner of Sparkle Cupcakery, Sydneysiders are far more sophisticated than New Yorkers. She would know. She used to run a bakery in downtown NYC, and was made to suffer straight chocolate and vanilla while dreaming of lychee and lavender. Sparkle's Sydney cupcakes have a very unique flavour.
