Sub-Station
Contemporary
All power to Ram and Orit Stern, for seeing the potential of Electricity Substation 152 as an enchanting little cafe. From the pumpkin on the stool outside to the naked light globes referencing the building's past, they've styled it sweetly. The kitchen does the same, right down to the newly baked cinnamon scrolls (can you beat that smell?) and the fresh, clean-flavoured do-it-yourself avocado on toast. Single O's house blend has power of its own in a creamy, well-bodied piccolo ($3). And full marks for the hidden treasure of a courtyard, the perfect sun-catcher. Looks like it's solar power from here on, then.
