This well-loved general store has provisions and groceries, but it's most noteworthy for its contemporary indoor-outdoor cafe-bar. With polished-concrete floors, timber accents and a sophisticated retro ambience, it does old-fashioned cocktails, beers on tap and a menu of breakfasts and all-day brunch items such as burgers and sourdough toasties.
