Located on the busy pedestrian crossroad of Arab Street, Haji and Bali Lane, this hole-in-the-wall coffee joint is the perfect place to set up camp for a productive afternoon. Set up by Chad Samson and Dave Code who first met as DJs and formed one-half of the funk and soul night, Pushin’ On (now on hiatus), the pair manifest their love for coffee, art and design (hence the name) in this joint. Expect its indoor display of street art and photography to change every two to three months or so, providing breaths of fresh artistic air to the oft-trotted junction.
Dripping from the coffee machine here is the Woolloomooloo blend of Guatemalan, Mexican and Brazilian beans from Toby’s Estate, which makes a good full-bodied mouthful in a milk-based latte ($5) or cappuccino ($5). Accompanying that is a small menu of comforting bites, like hearty soups made in-house and CAD's much-hyped sourdough toasties. Craft beers from Brewdog are also available if you need a tipple.
