It used to be a truck rental garage, now it’s a bakery. Actually it’s a commercial bakery, but it’s also a café. But don’t ask questions. Why argue with giant ovens radiating heat into a place where you can eat breakfast from 7.30am? Hell, bakers get up early, why not actually sleep there? No need for the night rider, just ask these guys to let you in and wake up to a coffee and an outfit infused with the sweet smell of yeast.

There are two manual, three-lever Italian coffee machines (for those who get off on that kind of talk) and there’s a menu of gourmet sandwiches, baguettes pies, pastries, biscuits and shortbread.

Brought to us by Con Christopoulos (the brain behind Supper Club, Journal, Syracuse, Degraves, et al), this one’s a keeper. Of course it’s already at risk of being overrun by corporate meetings, so get down there and claim yourself some oven-frontage.
