Cafe$

The canny crew from cafe group Yolk (Terror Twilight, Convoy) has crafted a daytime restaurant on a lush corner site, with music on vinyl and all the brunchy stuff served with expertise and aplomb. Have your coffee as a cold brew spritz, dig into a buckwheat galette with rocket pesto, or wrap your hands around a vegan cauliflower sanger with fried chickpeas.
