What: Silo (by Joost)

Where: 123 Hardware Street, Melbourne 3000

 

Silo is the newest ‘zero-waste’ café in Melbourne by the eco-advocate and artist Joost Bakker.

Food

• A very small menu (available online) – but the coddled hen eggs (with mushrooms) are amazing.
• Plus the home-made lemonade is amazing (very fizzy though)

Highlights:

• A waste free menu that changes with the seasons.
• Food is from all local and organic suppliers
• All fresh produce is delivered in returnable, recyclable, reusable crates
• All organic waste is treated in the café’s own food waste dehydrator
• The café has a 15 seat communal dining bar

With only one communal table and the kitchen literally behind your back, the room is a bit cramped for me,  but I love the concept overall and the coffee.

Suggest going on a clear day and sitting outside.
