Social Hideout

This corner cafe inside an open air shopping plaza road is a buzzy yet laidback brunch spot turning out Insta-happy “cakeshakes”, Mediterranean-inflected brunch staples and hearty lunches seven days a week. There’s your standard Benedicts, avo smashes and granola bowls, plus more exotic plates like the za’atar lemon chicken with tahini, pomegranate, pine nuts and rocket. For the health-conscious they do cold pressed juices and dairy free protein shakes, while for the nutrition agnostics there’s the house specialty cakeshakes, topped with sauces, whipped cream and sweets aplenty. However, their Bula Banana smoothie, which contains banana, dates, granola, honey and yoghurt, is far more worthy of your time. With reasonable prices and generous portions, this cafe-eatery located off hectic Victoria Rd has very much become a hideout for locals, and a pitstop for those finishing up a Coles run next door.
