Sprouted in the red-brick underbelly of the City Baths building we came across a lovely surprise - lush with palm fronds, white marble sits casually alongside worn timber and an easy-sunday acoustic playlist.
The shiny white La marzocca is what drew us in at first - coffee is supplied by dukes espresso, with white black and filter on offer. My soy flat white had good body but was on the nuttier side - until the next shipment of bonsoy hits Melbourne's ports next week.
Cold-pressed juice by Ayomo - the beetroot apple spinach lemon parsley (yep all in one) was lip-smackingly refreshing.
Staff were friendly and knowledgable, and although the space is just two-weeks young there are already quite a few regulars, working nearby or fresh from a swim or gym session upstairs.
Couple of food options - there was a $12 lunch and coffee deal with baguettes and cronuts on offer in the front glass cabinet when we came, with an expanded food menu to come over the next few weeks.
Poke-bonus: Poolhouse sits right under city baths gym so you can score some sweet sweet EXP as you sip.
