Urban Food Store + Café | hits the mark


“We could be in any major city in the world."

That's what my friend said when visiting Canberra recently, and it is true, the Saturday afternoon we had a late lunch at Urban Food Store +Café, a DJ mixed the latest lounge music from Norway, whilst we chatted over some of the best coffee Canberra has to offer.

What makes this place so unique is everything in the store and on the menu is organic, and better still the breakfast menu is available till late afternoon – plus there is also plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options and with a very modern twist.

The design of the store has a distinctly raw industrial feel but with comforting signatures like the cushioned bench seating, the creation of some cute little nooks and the placement of some fabulous art – and with seating in and out doors – Urban Food Store + Café is a great place for a summer snack or a place to bunker down with a good book in winter.

Set on the fringe of Civic and right in the heart of the stylish New Acton on the corner of Marcus Clarke and Edinburgh streets, – Urban Food is easily accessed and is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
