a day in paddington
A visit to Paddington may, at first, seem overwhelming. We are spoiled with choices of eateries, retailers and
leisurely hangouts. If you simply do not know where to start, your day might go something like this...
Take in the fresh
air and some early morning cardio with a stroll through the suburbs. [Warning: Paddington may
contain hills]

Urban Grind | 131 Latrobe Tce
The first thing you will notice about Urban Grind is a sense of familiarity and loyalty. Customers and barristers are all on a
first name basis, adding to the already warm and cosy vibe. The second thing you will notice about Urban Grind is their amazing coffee, premium beans brewed with precision. Greatcoffee, conversation and community spirit.
Blake & Taylor | 11 Latrobe Tce
Paddington is all about convergence. Espresso bars merged with galleries, boutiques married with cafes. The Blake & Taylor building was once the
Paddington Butcher Shop in the late 1800s. These days, they specialise in vintage furniture with a neutral palette. Their in-store cafe offer Veneziano coffee, decadent cakes and high tea for a special treat.
Decked Cafe | 107 Latrobe Tce (Paddo Central)
The Decked Cafe crew are firm believers in happiness and positive thinking. Why else would they have filled their glass
tables with Lego, toy dinosaurs and marbles but to put a smile on your face? They serve up Vivo coffee, home made baked goods, wraps and sandwiches. For a friendly, casual environment, Decked is the place to be.

Black Cat Books & Cafe | 179 Latrobe Tce
Getting lost in a good book with a cup of tea is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Black Cat is an independent book seller
with a wide range of titles and a cafe secreted away downstairs. The cafe boasts comfy lounges and a spacious deck outside. Relax, have a chat, grab a Merlo coffee and let the day unfold.
Anouk | 212 Given Terrace
Anouk’s seasonal, ever changing menu means you will be pleasantly surprised every visit. With footpath dining you can enjoy a coffee amidst
the action in the open air. The building, once an apothecary, now caters to people’s health in a different, more delicious way. Anouk is a great place to grab breakfast and a coffee to start the day off right.
Monty’s Chocolates | 155 Latrobe Tce
Not a caffeine fiend? That’s cool, Monty’s Chocolates caters to the addiction of a different bean. Monty’s
specialises in imported European chocolate and their infamous hot drinking chocolate (you will need a spoon). Boutique cocoa goodness lines the walls with fresh floral arrangements also available. The perfect place to spoil someone special (including yourself).

There are unlimited coffee
hotspots in Paddington.
We’ve chosen a few with
particularly great ambience
& menus, but there are
many more places for coffee
connoisseurs.
Home-style cooking and a chilled-out atmosphere
are captured in this vibrant green Queenslander.
Vegetarians, vegans and coeliacs rejoice- Pando’s
has a menu catering to all tastes! Pando’s is a perfect (and popular) breakfast
destination.
215 Given Tce
Pandemonium
Other words for lark: merry, frolic, carefree,
melodious. The Lark at Paddington embraces
all of the above and has made a name for itself as a destination to unwind with a tipple or two. Inventive cocktails, boutique wines
and tantalisng tapas await.

Hampton’s Home Living
Bonjourno! Il Posto, proud providers of authentic
Italiano cuisine, offer the perfect setting for an
intimate dinner or group gathering. The restaurant’s creators embrace Italian
hertiage, giving it a contemporary execution. Delizioso, buon appetito!

Il Posto
New kids on the block, Jazzcat, have settled
nicely into the Paddington groove. A brave new venture
combining Asian cuisine with a European twist has paid off. East meets West at Jazzcat, with cool jazz
stylings performed live by the owner every weekend.

Jazzcat
Stunning verandah views of the burgeoning city
skyline welcome you at Hampton’s. This cafe-meets-

Venturing off the beaten track is always a good
option and Side Street is no exception. Although, it’s still on the main thoroughfare. I was going for wordplay
okay? Top Aussie designers Sass & Bide, Jessie Hill and
Nicola Finetti call Side Street home. Fun, functional fashions. The best kind.

at Ed Hope have their scissors and sharpened and

The hedonistic argue that pleasure is the only
intrinsic good in life. Who says that’s a bad thing?
Sometimes we all need to indulge. Whether it be with a massage, facial, foot scrub or nail buff. To be beautiful, you have to feel beautiful
and that’s where the team at Beauty on Latrobe can
help.
Beauty on Latrobe147 Latrobe Tce
Who knew there was an urban oasis right in
the heart of Paddington? We did! Urban Retreat is a boutique massage space specialising in professional

Before the hustle and bustle of city life set in, Paddington was filled with rural allotments and gentlemen estates. The streets were lined with humble worker’s cottages and
family businesses, replaced today by boutique shopfronts, cafes and renovated homes. Despite the many changes that Paddington has gone through, it remains a place for
people from all walks of life to meet, chat and celebrate.
