Plan your visitAbout Mid-Century Cafe and Collectables
Sip locally roasted flat whites amidst authentic 1950s–1970s showroom furnishings where every vintage piece is up for grabs. Part living museum and part suburban kitchen, this Yokine haunt invites conversation across velvet lounge setups and retro milk bar booths. Patrons praise generous brunch plates of tender steak sandwiches piled with relish alongside onion rings, while groups settle in for tiered vintage high tea served on antique porcelain. Tables flip through vintage magazines between plates of warm scones and freshly scrambled eggs.
- Dine in a Curated Time Capsule: Functional mid-century booths, 1950s kitchen tables, and period bric-a-brac decorate the room and can be purchased on the spot.
- Vintage High Tea Celebrations: Generous multi-tiered spreads served on period china with dedicated options for gluten-free and plant-based diners.
