Spade 9 Cafe & Bar pairs community warmth with serious brunch staples right across from Westfield Knox. Regulars drop in for nutty morning espressos and generous plates of bacon and poached eggs on sourdough, served by a crew that greets half the room by name. The dining floor stays unhurried and pram-friendly, anchored by a gated play space stocked with toys to keep toddlers occupied. Alongside classic café fare, the kitchen turns out Sri Lankan plates with counter-requested spice levels, plus a hot chocolate tasting paddle for slow mornings.
- Gated Play Space: A dedicated, gated play corner with ample pram clearance between tables keeps young children entertained while parents dine.
- Customizable Sri Lankan Fare: Traditional Sri Lankan dishes stand alongside European brunch fare, with heat levels tailored at the counter.
- Hot Chocolate Flights: Rich, multi-cup hot chocolate tasting paddles offer a fun alternative to the standard morning brew.
