Before you head over

Practical advice on timing, parking, and making the most of your visit

  • Plan for Morning Queue Waits

    Peak morning rushes and weekend surges after local runs can create lines out the door, so allow extra time when stopping by during peak periods.

  • Look Across the Street for Parking

    Street spaces directly outside the cafe are limited; consider parking across the road or slightly farther down Chute Street during busy hours.

  • Drop in Early Before Afternoon Close

    The roastery opens early to cater to morning commuters and cyclists, and typically wraps up service by early afternoon around 2 PM.
