1000 £ Bend (revisited)

I find myself in 1000 £ Bend from time to time. Often for events, as this is as much an event space as it is cafe. I was in last week for the launch of their new coffee Will & Co, so here are a few out-takes from that shoot. Enjoy.

There is nothing like that first visit to a really 'Wow' venue.... This place has wow. It is certainly in part to the unexpected location, past bins and vans and garage doors, but then to enter into a cavernous space is stunning and unexpected. There are also some truly unique features to the space, like the locally crafted timber stools (made by Michael Kelly in his adjacent workshop), the gem-like light fittings and the gorgeous original barn doors. My coffee was perfect too :)

It's a little piece of the grungy north in the well-heeled inner south... Not a hint of pretension here but plenty of great coffee, good food and friendly service.  A steady stream of local regulars pop in for a chat and a coffee like this place has been here for years, not just months..

On the one hand I can't believe I took so long to 'discover' this place, but on the other I'm pleased it is my first port of call after my recent dry spell off the black stuff. Laid back vibe, relaxed service, great coffee.. it's my new CBD favourite..
