Cafe$

Serva, a bright orange cafe in the Northern Beaches, is where owner-chef Miles Ackermans shows off his vast range of pickles and preserves – sold retail, or served in sandwiches, toasties, muffins and salads. Join his growing group of customers-turned-mates, and start swooning over umami-rich mushroom toasties, laced with kombu butter and served with zucchini pickle and blueberry chutney; and marvelling at the meaty, crunchy, melty Reuben sandwich with apple and celery kraut.

Good to know: Need a last-minute birthday gift? Pick up a pickle jar and locally crafted ceramics here.
