234 Cuba St; snacks $4-7, mains $10-24; 7.30am-10pm; )
A Cuba St institution
for caffeine-craving, alternative types. Eggs any-which-way, pizza and splendid salads are
cranked out of the itsy kitchen, along with Welly's best milkshakes. Revolutionary mem-
orabilia adorns the walls of the funky interior; decent outdoor areas too. A superbusy crew
copes with the chaos admirably.
Martha's Pantry
(276 Cuba St; snacks $4-9; 9am-5pm Tue-Fri, 10am-5pm Sat & Sun)
Run by the Ladies McLeod,
whose roots lie in this neighbourhood, this tearoom commemorates their heritage in deli-
cious style. Martha proffers finger sandwiches, delicate tarts, and tea in fine bone china,
wears plaid and dishes up a manly fry-up, roasts and pork crackling snacks.
