Kobblers

Set amongst a bar of reclaimed wood, miss matching lounges, an old chess board, rain outside and sleepy suburbia awaking around us this yet-​to-​be-​named café was the perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday morning.
Locals have taken to affectionately calling it ‘Scotty’s’ after owner Scott and with the amount of quirk and charm this café packs, there’s no need for signage or branding declaring it’s ownership. It could be whatever it wanted to be and people would still come along.
You’ll find Scotty’s serving Blackstar coffee and, for the time being, offering limited menu items such as bakery goods and rumor has it there are plans to eventually expand the menu. For now, though, Scotty’s is about good coffee and dare I say it: community.
On our first visit we ordered a flat white (for me) and a hot chocolate (for him). He was suitably impressed with the shaved chocolate on top and soon went back to teaching me how to play chess on the wooden chess board that finds it’s home amongst the Danish-​esque tables. My coffee was strong and was just what was needed on this particular morning.
Go to Scotty’s with no expectations and be prepared to feel like you’ve found a secret spot in suburbia. It is worth the trek!
