Founding Winn Lane denizen Flamingo Cafe is a colourful melee of retro furniture, astroturf and kitsch, well-crafted food. Specials of the day are scribbled in coloured chalk on the counter front, while the benchtop brims with decadent cookies, brownies and muffins. Rich milky concoctions grace the menu, with the salted caramel shake or avocado, banana, soy, nutmeg and honey smoothie rating among favourites. A new spring menu sees all-day brunch offerings like a Field Mushroom with Brie, Spinach and Parmesan Crust on grain bread satisfy diners while catching up with friends, or pit-stopping to-or-from the swell independent stores co-habiting Winn Lane.
