Omar & the Marvellous Coffee Bird
Contemporary$$
This friendly cafe has transplanted the industrial-chic fitout and coffee nerd ethos of the inner city to the suburbs, with super-pleasing results. While the dedication to sourcing, roasting and brewing beans borders on the obsessive, waiters don't blink if you order a latte, though their enthusiasm is evident if you ask about the single origin of the day. Fresh, high-quality ingredients such as house-made labna, Black Rock smoked salmon and locally cured bacon find their way into simple but delicious flatbread wraps, rolls, salads and breakfasts. With newspapers, biodynamic milk, Noisette bread and coffee to take home, Omar is indeed a marvellous bird.
