Judging by the weekend crowds in Llankelly Place, you’d think there’s a celebrity in town. In reality, it’s just the local line-up for a seat at Piña, Room Ten’s hipster sister café. The general rule of thumb on Piña’s all-day menu is that it serves breakfast and lunch classics with a touch of class. So, instead of scrambled eggs, you get super fluffy, chilli oil-infused scrambled eggs on an extra thick slab of toast. Piña’s side game is strong, and mixing and matching sides is all part of the fun. The spicy corn ribs, charred cabbage and salty hash browns are a vegetarian combo of legends.
