About this space

Simplicity Bakery & Cafe is an independent bakery-cafe with a cosy, neighbourhood character and a relaxed setting for private gatherings.

Design: The red-brick corner building has a curved cream fascia, timber-framed frontage and large windows that bring in natural light. Warm wood details and an open street-facing layout give the cafe a welcoming, informal look.

Features: Wi-Fi and air conditioning support longer stays. A PA system and speakers are available for host-managed audio, and guests may play their own music or bring a DJ subject to noise restrictions. Step-free access and wheelchair accessibility are provided.

Ideal for: Small to medium-sized groups looking for a relaxed, informal setting for social gatherings and standing or mixed-format get-togethers.

What guests say: The cafe has a cosy, relaxed atmosphere and a welcoming setting. Fresh pastries are made on site, adding to the space’s independent bakery character.
