It’s fast becoming one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the city.

This morning the Barrack Street revival got another boost with the opening of a brand new business at the top of the hill.

107 Barrack Street is a cosy café offering an eclectic mix of art, books and excellent coffee.

With large windows opening onto the street, revealing a glimpse of the colurful space within, the gorgeous vintage wood counter is stacked with fresh apple tarts, scones and cakes.

Take a cortado to the bright reading space (there’s books and board games for customers) or kick back and soak up the sun in the lovely leafy cottage garden at the back.

Settling in beside Elizabeth Fort, Alchemy, Pigalle and Tom Barry’s, 107 Barrack Street is a top-notch addition and another great reason to take a stroll on the southside.
