Relaxed sessions with good tunes

A gorgeous light-filled space

We’re famous for our space, with our stunning glass roof that is fully retractable. We have it open on sunny days so you can soak up the rays- or choose a shaded area if that’s not your jam. This is Melbourne so we’re quick to close the roof when the weather changes!

Our plethora of indoor plants across a large space create an instantly welcoming atmosphere- very Insta-worthy… Whether you’re here to work alone or meet friends, the space will always feel bright and welcoming.
