Love sitting in here with a flat white - all the charm, buzz and quirkiness one needs for a bit of anonymous head-space...

Had not been here before this shoot - was just passing. Tiny wee place - the teaspoon collection caught my eye. Altogether very photogenic...

Had to keep this one in colour. The awnings in the back verandah were closed up so perhaps another time I will take some shots out there. Lovely friendly local.

As the institution it is, I wasn't sure how my request to take photos would be received - but was given a friendly go-ahead... this is another one that had to be kept in colour to convey its retro charms...

I sat in for a lovely flat white then embarked on a most enjoyable photo-shoot. Wasn't hard finding inspiration in this place...

Switchboard is the perfect Melbourne hidden gem. Outside is the bustle of city life. Inside, utilising the most unexpected of crevices, is Switchboard. This place is always on my list when showing visitors around town.
