Shooter McGavin’s
Cafe
Shooter McGavin’s
It’s named after (but is far more likeable than) the worst character in ’90s golf comedy Happy Gilmore. Expect sangas brimming with hot-honey fried chicken biscuits and fish 'n' chip butties.
Pickles Milk Bar
Cafe
Pickles Milk Bar
It’s a classic milk bar, but not as you know it. Everything here is plant-based, from the serious sandwiches to country-bakery staples (like dim sims and cinnamon rolls). Plus, there are “puppacinos” for your pooch.
