A getaway doesn’t have to be far from home.
Local Jo Café and Market, the bustling, family friendly neighbourhood café on the corner of a tree lined residential street may be uber-local but you’ll check your worries at the door.
Step into a world filled with the aroma of organic, Fair Trade and locally roasted coffee. They also carry a selection of loose teas and cold drinks—try the zesty homemade lemonade—and a range of baked goods made from scratch.
Pull up a chair to one of the earthy, wooden tables and send your hunger packing with a hearty, homey sandwich, a soul-nourishing bowl of soup or snacks like samosas, spanakopita and pakoras. Slip into a comfy, plush sofa and let your cares sail off in the steam from your mug. This inviting, cozy space is designed to make you want to stay awhile.
Even parents can relax because Local Jo loves kids. Send the little ones on a trip to the convenient play area at the back. They’ll have some fun while their latte sipping parents enjoy a timeout of their own.
Escape the grocery store by picking up the local produce and supplies you need at the café. Local Jo stocks free range eggs and meats from Cold Spring Farm, organic sausages from Sweet Williams and bread and croissants from Boulangerie La Vendeene. With the shopping done, there’s no need to rush home.
It may be local, but this café will make you feel like your troubles are a world away.
