Effie’s restaurant and cafe in Balgowlah.Jessica HromasHow pretty,how cool. From the roastie toastie (roast veg and pesto),to the kid’s funny-face bikkies and gorgeous poppies plonked in a vase,Effie’s is all sunshine and light under its pressed-metal ceiling. The Mecca coffee is sturdy and well made,whether taken through the coffee window,at a share table or in silent communion with your laptop. By night,the natural wine bottles mounted on the stark white walls act as a visible wine list.
