A taste of the Northern Beaches' wholesome living comes to the inner east in the form of organic cafe COOH. A bigger sister to the original venue in Curl Curl, the larger space in Alexandria affords expansions in both the menu and trading hours. The venue is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with tasty, colourful ingredients a mainstay throughout.

Vegans are well-catered for here with the tree nut vegan cheese board a popular lunch choice. In fact, most dietary requirements are carefully considered here — all menu items call out potentially problematic inclusions including egg, gluten and nuts. Even the coriander-averse diners are covered. Mediterranean flavours make appearances throughout each sitting, but none more so than dinner; moussaka croquettes, saganaki and prawns with a tomato ouzo sauce are some of the starters designed to share. Beverage-wise, expect quality coffee (roasted at the Curl Curl venue) and a selection of organic teas and smoothies for the breakfast service. Later in the day, the bar serves up Four Pines and Young Henrys and a strong selection of organic and boutique wines.
