A morning on Lantern Row, in frames

The room before the door opens, the brew bar set for the first order, flour on the bench at five, the day’s produce coming in and the plates that leave the pass. This is the kitchen as regulars know it, from the first bake to the last pour.

Act 01

Before the doors open

The room you walk into from the street, and the counter where every coffee is poured.

  • A café dining room seen from a stair, with wooden armchairs around small round tables beside tall windows and terrace seating outside.
    Dining roomThe front room seen from the stair before service, armchairs drawn up to small round tables along the tall windows, and the terrace chairs outside waiting under the tree.
  • A pour-over cone and glass carafe standing on a counter with two gooseneck kettles and a small metal cup beside them.
    Brew barNadia’s end of the counter, set for the day: a glass carafe under its pour-over cone, two gooseneck kettles behind it and a small metal cup ready for the first order.

Act 02

Up close

The small things that decide a morning: the milk on a well-made coffee, and the flour that starts every bake.

  • The surface of a milk coffee seen from directly above, filling the frame, with a poured pattern and two dark specks.
    CremaA milk coffee seen from straight above, the poured pattern still holding its edge a few seconds after it left the machine, with two dark specks settled off centre.
  • A hand releasing a loose handful of flour above a hammered metal bowl in a dark frame.
    FlourA handful of flour falling into a hammered metal bowl, most of it still in the air. The bench looks like this at five in the morning, with only the bowl under the light.
A red lacquer bowl of miso soup with tofu, cucumber and coriander leaves, cropped so the bowl fills the frame.

Soup of the dayMiso broth with tofu, cucumber and coriander in a red lacquer bowl, one of the soups Tomás rotates through the week and a lunch on its own at $12.

Act 03

How the morning starts

The first loaf out of the oven, and the produce that arrives while it cools.

  • A round scored loaf cooling on a wire rack set on a speckled stone counter.
    CoolingOne round loaf resting on a wire rack a few minutes out of the oven, the scored top already opened along its cuts. The speckled counter underneath still carries the flour it was turned out on.
  • Red peppers with their stalks packed into a shallow pale wooden crate.
    DeliveryRed peppers packed shoulder to shoulder in a shallow pale crate, still on their stalks, set down by the back door and sorted before anything reaches the kitchen.
A long table laid with mats, glasses and cutlery, ringed by upholstered chairs against a wood-panelled wall.

The long tableLaid against the panelling at the back with mats, glasses and a small vase of dried flowers. It seats up to ten, is held for one party at a time and is the only table set aside in advance.

Act 04

On the table

Where the food ends up: a pastry at the window, and a lunch plate on its way from the pass.

  • An iced pastry topped with whole nuts on a white octagonal plate on a pale wooden table.
    Window tableA single iced pastry on a white octagonal plate, set down on the pale wooden table by the window where counter orders are eaten. The nuts across the top are whole rather than chopped.
  • A plate of salad leaves, radish and tomato around a small pot of pale green dressing, with a soft roll at the edge.
    The passA plate waiting under the kitchen light: leaves, radish and tomato around a small pot of pale green dressing, with a soft roll and a sprig of rosemary at the edge.
