Hue Cafe

Home. Humility. Harvest. These are the words that greet you, etched on the peekaboo tangerine perspex Hue Café sign that hangs from the veranda beam and welcomes you when you arrive at the restored single-storey old house, which is easier not to find than to happen upon, even when you have the address and you’re looking for it.

Inside, the décor is eclectic. A chandelier. Velvet couches. Stacks of books: art, philosophy, psychology, spirituality, literary. Out back, a cool enclosed garden that works equally well for diners and for jazz performances. The coffee is from Manna Roastery in Hilton. The sourdough for the club and chicken mayo sandwiches is from Good: Bread and Stuff.
