About Lokal + Co

Tucked just off West End's main drag, this quiet Scandinavian hideaway pairs clean Nordic lines with a jolt of Sri Lankan spice. A quick escape from the usual morning rush. Baristas pull clean Allpress shots at the counter while the kitchen flips standard brunch on its head—pairing salmon gravlax with crisp potato pakoras and dollops of labneh. Regulars swear by the chilli eggs stacked against flaky roti, balanced with house-made plum chutney and fiery coconut sambal. On the sweeter side, gingerbread waffles give the morning routine an unexpected spin. Grab an outdoor table in the sun, order a cold peach iced tea, and let the floor staff effortlessly swap halloumi into your leek and manchego croquettes.

  • Tucked-Away Nordic Setting: Tucked five minutes off the busy commercial strip with clean Scandinavian lines and quiet outdoor seating.
  • Nordic-South Asian Fusion: Salmon gravlax served with potato pakoras and labneh, plus spicy chilli eggs accompanied by flaky roti and coconut sambal.
  • Specialty Coffee & Teas: Precision barista-pulled Allpress espresso, house-made chai, and peach iced tea served at speed.
  • Accommodating Hospitality: Staff readily tailor plates to dietary preferences, easily subbing halloumi into leek and manchego croquettes.

  • Tucked away off the bustling main street

    Located on O'Connell Street just five minutes off the busy main drag, the cafe provides a peaceful sanctuary away from inner-city noise.

    5 mins walk from the other busier cafes so had a nice calm, chilled atmosphere.

  • Precision-crafted specialty coffee

    Baristas consistently dial in smooth, balanced extractions using specialty Allpress coffee and premium barista milks.

    the coffee is perfect; long blacks aren’t burnt or sour like in most other places.
