"At some point, between eating comforting Antipodean dishes and admiring the mint green banquettes, you’ll realise you’ve been at The Laundry for three hours, have taken 47 photos, and mentally planned a big event here. Whether you’re dropping by for a blissful WFH morning, or settling in for a big weekend brunch, The Laundry is the kind of place where you could happily while away half a day. A perfect day here looks like excellent coffee and spicy meatballs on toast for brunch, a mid-afternoon pick-me-up of malty banana bread with honeycomb butter, and early evening sundowners on the spacious terrace out front." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
