Next to Northcote’s Palace Westgarth cinema, Ophelia is part-cafe, part-wine bar, by the team behind Terror Twilight, Convoyand Tinker. The old Barry cafe corner site has been rejigged with day-to-night flexibility in mind.

Go from coffee to cocktails at the curvy new bar. There’s also a statement record wall with refurbed vintage speakers, and the original maroon-ish terrazzo floor is back on display. A glass cabinet houses the grab-and-go sandwiches and salads of the day, as well as the rotating savoury scone and baked goods galore.

Just as sweet is the miso-butterscotch iced latte, a hot new player in Melbourne’s iced-coffee game. A handful of cocktails and a locally charged wine list are available until Ophelia closes, which is currently 4pm, but there are plans to extend to nighttime trade in the future, giving cinema-goers somewhere to snack and sip either side of later sessions.
