A little 1970s, a little eccentric, and irrefutably cool, Superfreak’s interior is unlike any other cafe in Sydney. Sound tracked by vinyl records, one man settles into the fluffy brown banquette with a bowl of oat, rye and buckwheat porridge (melting, rich cultured butter on top, the thoughtful touch from menu co-creator Michaela Johansson of Aplenty catering) while a young couple spar over sourdough crumpets, caramelised and sticky with berries. Coffee is sourced from Single O and Artificer, and there are smoothies and electrolyte-infused tea for the post-Pilates crowd.
