Pure – Boutique Coffee Bar
After finishing an 8km walk along the beach, a few friends and I had worked up an appetite. While walking down Jetty Road, we noticed Pure. The decor is modern and contemporary, and the sheer number of people at this place indicated they were doing something right. The establishment is considerably spacious with plenty of…
Earth’s Kitchen
Right at this very address used to be one of my favourite Italian restaurants. It’s replacement, Earth’s Kitchen, just made things a whole lot healthier. Located on the corner of Pirie and Hyde Street, this place prides itself on everything fresh, local, organic and gluten free. The menu isn’t too overly complicated with a selection…
Ginger’s Coffee Studio

With very few breakfast options in the Goodwood area, we wandered over to Ginger’s Coffee Studio. With nothing else open on a Sunday morning, this place…
Caffe Buongiorno – Norwood

Providore
Shopping in the Central Markets and have a bit of a sweet tooth? Well, look no further than the Providore. The sweets are fresh and handmade, and there’s so much on offer, you’ll be spinning around in circles. From the top of my head there were chocolates, cookies, cakes, muffins and an assortment of sweets….

The menu is simple with a selection of Belgian waffles, baguettes (only available during the week) and beverages to choose from.
