RANDY WALLHOLE

21 NIND ST

With a name like Randy Wallhole, you can expect some eclectic energy from this Nind St grind. The colourful den, decked out in recycled furniture, serves up a small menu of brunch options with a focus on loaded bagels and reliable coffee. “I think people really love the vibe — good banter, jokes, that’s us,” manager Ella McMillan says. “We try and make sure we know everyone’s names, they’re all our friends. And they love the coffee.” Hot items on the menu include the breakkie bagel — bacon, egg, spinach, tomato, avocado, barbecue and aioli sauce, and the avo smash bagel. “People also love the iced Coco Pops latte — it’s Coco Pops, with coffee and milk, and chocolate,” Ella says.
