Mama Bear

This mama’s a little unconventional. Sure,she’s tucked behind a mock white picket fence,but check out her surrealist facade (coffee cups on stilts) and quirky industrial fitout. Some of her breakfast dishes break from the cafe mould:the Asian-inspired scrambled eggs generously studded with sticky pork chunks,fresh hits of coriander,chilli and scallions. At lunchtime,a duo of dinky brioche sliders comes plump with ham hock,tart gribiche sauce and melted gruyere,photogenically topped by a fried quail egg. Sweet (sometimes slow) service,quality Gridlock coffee and a cabinet full of sugary treats should leave you feeling just right.
