Kitsch The Low Road Cafe opens in Windsor
If you’ve spotted bright pink palm tree cutouts sprouting from a garden bed, then you know you’re in the right place. The Low Road Cafe has opened in Windsor along a busy little strip nestled near Windsor train station. Run by Naomi (ex-Qwerk) and Ben Corbett (of Gentle Ben and His Sensitive Side), The Low Road Cafe is an oasis of tropical kitsch, complementing all things tiki with fun and moreish foodstuffs.
It’s entirely possible that your Genovese coffee will come in a novelty mug, and highly likely that the homemade muesli (which is roasted with coffee, coconut and cocoa) will arrive at your table in a pineapple-shaped wooden bowl. Naomi has replicated her retro panache that Qwerk customers will know and love at The Low Road Cafe, which sports a decor that melds hanging foliage with a bamboo lounge and a lobster-print curtain to frame the window between shopfront and kitchen.
Seating comes in the form of indoor and courtyard varietals, with conveniently located palm trees towering over an outdoor seating area, perfect for lapping up a spot of sun. Once the cafe’s food licence is given the tick of approval, meals will come in vegetarian form with the option to add meat as a side to keep the masses chirpy.
The Breakfast Banana Split sees fresh banana, toasted coconut and frozen whipped banana come together with honey-toasted nuts and grated dark chocolate, while the The Low Road Beans are smoky and spicy, with jalapenos, chipotle sour cream and cheddar on organic sourdough. The Breakfast Salad meets breakfast and lunch halfway, featuring lemony haloumi, dukkah egg, grilled asparagus, roast mushrooms, red onion, fresh herbs and a yoghurt dressing.
