Outer Circle Social Club

Always excellent & witty service. Great coffee and croissants. So glad to be able to sit in and enjoy the whole experience again.

Ah, yes. There’s exciting things happening in funky Fairfield and the Outer Circle Social Club is definitely one of them. At last the area gets the Fitzroy, Abbotsford and whatever other chic suburb treatment. Top food and coffee in a lovely setting is where it’s at and that’s what the OCS Club is delivering (love the name, btw). What a terrific cafe this is. It’s tucked away in the semi industrial back streets. A clever remodeling of an old light industrial space. It’s very pleasantly fitted out and on the day I was there was gorgeous northern light streaming in. With lovely greenery dotted around it’s a most appealing space. They’re deadly serious about their coffee here. I had two of the Axil Coffee Roasters blends - the San Cayetano from El Salvador and the Bonde from Ethiopia. My favourite was the San Cayetano. It’s a beauty and the brew was beautifully made here. I went for the Salady Boy for lunch. This is hot smoked salmon flakes through a salad of cherry tomatoes, green beans, radish and rocket with a zesty dill and lemon dressing. I added a poached egg too. The dish is excellent. The salmon was superbly smoked on site. The salad too was delicious. I enjoyed it very much. The only improvement suggestion I’d have is that maybe they could add just a little bit more salad for the price. But, it’s a terrific cafe. I’ll be back for sure as I bet it will only continue to improve here.

Weekend coffees, deckchairs on the sidewalk, vynils and good vibes all around!
