About Ivy & Lark

Tucked beside Myer at Westfield Chermside, Ivy & Lark offers a breezy, Hamptons-inspired retreat from the retail rush. Potted greenery and light timber frame an unhurried perch where flat whites pull from a sleek Synesso machine. Regulars slip in for the savoury kitchen staples—think flaky salmon croissants, golden potato roasties, and a gluten-free lasagna baked with genuine care. Slices of strawberry cheesecake and caramel brownies round out the glass counter, making it an easy pause between shops.

  • Coeliac-Minded Menu: Find rare coeliac-friendly cafe dishes, from homestyle gluten-free lasagna and frittatas to an extensive case of specialty cakes.
  • Bright Boutique Ambience: Botanical styling, Hamptons-inspired woodwork, and light tones provide an airy respite right by the Myer entrance.
  • Elevated All-Day Dining: Hearty plates range from the house Benny on croissants to creamy mushroom fettuccine and chicken and bacon waffles.
