Sticks&Grace

This relatively sedate strip of Pakington Street,in the comfortable suburb of Newtown,is home to high-end clothing and speciality stores and Sticks&Grace. A characteristically stylish cafe (with fresh produce used as a centrepiece on tables,and stacks of glossy mags) it opens out to a paved off-street terrace. Smart partnering of ingredients gives the brunchy menu an edge:baked beans with parmesan French toast,gingerbread pancakes with cinnamon syrup. There are local ingredients too:Istra chorizo on a ricotta,roast tomato and rocket pizza. Good Allpress coffee,just-squeezed juices plus a sprinkling of wines keep customers comfortably contented.
