The kind of place that is charming simply because it isn’t trying to be anything it’s not, Capers is a fail-safe place to settle in for brunch, lunch, dinner and a drink, or simply a coffee and newspaper session. The big dining hall-type space is fresh and bright and a usual lunchtime here sees nearly every table filled. The friendly staff know, no matter how busy it gets, how to make you feel well-looked after alongside running this place like a well-oiled machine.
An all-day menu covers many bases, from housemade granola to bagels to seafood chowder, and means that you can sit down and enjoy Capers’ award-winning pork belly eggs benedict at any hour of the day. The lunch + dinner menu offers bao buns, pasta, pizza and more, and sandwiches, salads and daily specials are also available. And of course, one can’t walk past the sweets cabinet without poring over the delectable display of cakes, tarts, slices, cheesecakes and raw treats — good for the soul, we reckon.
Got little ones in tow? Capers has the perfect little playroom to keep young minds entertained, so you can sip a turmeric latte without small hands getting in the way.
