About Lovers Deli & Canteen

Lovers Deli & Canteen skips tired cafe tropes for sharp, comforting diner plates and dialed-in coffee. Retro suburban deli bones meet serious morning plates—crumbly blood sausage muffins with punchy green parsley sauce, crisp-edged corned beef hash, and cheeseburgers slicked in peppery umami sauce. Regulars pour their own chilled table water straight from the fridge and watch morning batch brews flow with Double Double beans. Out back, an enclosed play area keeps the neighborhood kids occupied while you linger over fresh orange juice and crisp schnitzel.

  • Double Double Coffee: Quick batch brews and flat whites poured with beans roasted by Double Double.
  • Bold Brunch Plates: Niche diner comfort like blood sausage muffins, corned beef hash, and spicy egg plates.
  • Enclosed Kids Play Area: A sheltered outdoor play zone providing dedicated space for young families to unwind.
