...at perry lane cafe

is where you will find me most mornings these days, sipping on a delicious latte made with Campos coffee, reading the paper and working. note - they have free wi-fi, which is handy.

But better than that, the cafe has this serene, creative, friendly environment.

It is not right on busy, noisy Oxford street. In fact, it is kind of hidden down a lane way just off Oxford Street, called none other than Perry Lane, Paddington.

Be guided in by the flowering bougainvilleas and the Campos coffee sign.

Once inside, there are lots of little sitting nooks to choose from in the light, airy open space.

The food is yummy. My favorites so far are the poached eggs, with spinach, chorizo, baked beans topped with a bit of parmesan for brekkie and their Caesar salad for lunch. They also serve a range of teas from T2.

Upstairs are more tables and this cool art space with rotating exhibits. Rumor has it that they will have live music, maybe a flamenco guitarrist.

Staff are friendly and helpful selecting from the menu. Only complaint is that after receiving food, staff are too polite and stay away for a tad too long.

Working from home, this place is my solace and my office away from my office.
