[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Have you heard of the term \u201ccoffice\u201d? As in,\u00a0coffee office<\/em>.\u00a0It\u2019s totally a thing.<\/p>\n

Freelancers of Adelaide, fly-by visitors, coffee fanciers, succulent aficionados (let\u2019s be honest – what cafes\u00a0don’t<\/em>\u00a0have them sitting on tabletops these days) and anyone who likes food done well, this post is for you.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days of freelance life being a solitary existence, hunched over\u00a0a desk squashed in the spare bedroom or your kitchen table.\u00a0You can now do that work\u00a0from a cosy cafe, while simultaneously people watching, mainlining caffeine when you need it, absorbing cafe tunes and generally spending your day\u00a0in a more lively, sociable atmosphere. I was thrilled to arrive back to Adelaide to find plenty of ideal\u00a0coffice spaces that have popped up during my\u00a0extended absence, coaxing freelancers from their secret hideaways, with apple laptops and oversized headphones, to join in the fun.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve lovingly coffee-hopped my way around town to sample coffee, suss the vibe, road test key tapping and wifi connectivity, to curate and now bring you this list of your must-know, go-to coffee spots.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be upfront from the get-go and say that wifi in cafes around Adelaide is NOT a strong point.\u00a0I\u2019ve also personally found the free Adelaide-wide wifi to also be largely unreliable. So, at least for the mean time, securing yourself with a decent data package for personal hot-spotting your own private net connection is pretty much a non-negotiable.\u00a0For the handful of cafes below who DO offer their own, fast wifi, you\u00a0have my heart. Thank you.<\/p>\n

So, in no particular order,\u00a0here\u2019s my pick of the crop!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

This cafe is the treehouse you always wish you\u2019d had as a kid. Made entirely from recycled materials, with exposed support beams, reclaimed timber, secret desks and hessian everything, the resulting vibe is quirky, rustic, friendly and sustainable. There\u2019s a strong eco ethos, with a local and seasonally focused menu that changes daily. We’re talking.. coffee roasted on\u00a0Magill Road<\/em>\u00a0kind of local. And, word on the street: if you take in a bag of fruit or local produce they can use in store, you\u2019ll score yourself a free coffee.<\/p>\n

In the words of the owners,\u00a0Ethically sourced fair-trade and organic coffee, delicious and local natural wines, craft beers, musicians and complimentary west-side sunsets!<\/em><\/p>\n

PICKLE \u00a0IN \u00a0THE \u00a0MIDDLE ::\u00a0134 Unley Road, Unley SA 5061<\/strong><\/p>\n

This happy little space is brand new and already one of my favourites. With a minimalist, scandinavian inspired interior, plant life and pops of bright yellow, it\u2019s impossible to not smile from the inside as soon as you step inside. Pickle in the Middle boasts a plant-centric menu, features an all-day breakfast menu (WIN) and I am personally on a mission to eat my way through the entire menu. Yum.<\/p>\n

Set up office inside a railway station converted cafe.

MISTER \u00a0SUNSHINE’S ::\u00a032 George Street, Thebarton SA 5031<\/strong><\/p>\n

This place – it\u2019s joy. It\u2019s also kitschy cute retro quirk, with succulents in tea cups\u2026 and don\u2019t get me started on the smashed avo.<\/p>\n

And while I\u2019m sure it\u2019s been said by everyone who has ever visited, owner Edwin Comey is literally mister sunshine\u00a0personified<\/em>.
\nNever have I before experienced such a warm, loving, neighbourly welcome in a cafe. It\u2019s your home away from home – and you won’t even have to do the dishes.<\/p>\n

The backstory: owners Edwin Comey and Prue Olsen traipsed around Australia by van, with their young daughter Edith to suss out the coolest cafes around, note their best features and bring all of the best bits into this cafe. And that, they have.<\/p>\n

Look for the bright yellow door.<\/p>\n

When you step into Chris Jarmer\u2019s latest eatery, you feel a bit like you\u2019ve been teleported from inner west Adelaide to a trendy + effortlessly stylish pop up restaurant in downtown New York. There\u2019s dark, matte floorboards, crisp white subway tiles, industrial feature lights draped across the ceiling, sizeable buckets of citrus fruits and shelves of preserved vegetables. Chris, a third generation chef, was previously the owner + head chef of Air in David Jones (now home to Adelaide\u2019s flagship Tiffany & Co).<\/p>\n

In the words of Chris:\u00a0Produce and flavours should be simple but presented with passion and flair. A meal is best celebrated with your loved ones and true flavour is true love. From my family to yours, happy eating.<\/em><\/p>\n

Jarmer\u2019s Kitchen has a casual, family vibe about it. While the service can be a bit fickle, the coffee is decent and when you\u2019re busy at work, that\u2019s really what matters.\u00a0On weekday mornings, there\u2019s soft music, loads of space and flooded light making for the perfect freelancing possie.<\/p>\n

The mission of this cafe is:\u00a0as fresh as possible, as local as possible and as simple as possible.\u00a0<\/em>Pretty good, right?<\/p>\n

The arthropod wall art makes you feel like you\u2019ve stepped inside a biologist\u2019s living room, but the spinning vinyl, stack of Wallpaper city guides and the big, rickety communal table will make you feel totally comfortable with this.<\/p>\n

An undulating wave of ten thousand wooden spoons are suspended from the ceiling (not that I\u2019ve counted, but I can guarantee this installation by artist Megan Roodenry will take your breath away).<\/p>\n

This sets the scene in a beautiful way, and you\u2019ll soon see, that just as much care goes into the menu,\u00a0coffee and food as the interior styling.
\nSucculents sit happily on tables, of course.<\/p>\n

Grab yourself a window seat for streaming light and people watching. I recommend the Clare Valley poached eggs, avocado and lime, halloumi and sourdough. Because, avocado.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a small space – expect a lineup out the door on for brunch on weekends, so keep your laptop time to weekdays and business hours, when everyone else is in their non-coffice offices.<\/p>\n
