Valori Espresso Lounge & Gallery
Scarborough
Musos, dance acts and local artist workshops are regular drawcards at this funky little art gallery come coffee lounge overlooking Scarborough Park.
The rest of the time it's a hang out for locals who come here (with dogs in tow) for a leisurely coffee overlooking the park. For aside from promoting local artists, Valori has a well-earned reputation for the best espresso and iced coffee on the peninsula thanks to its dedicated baristas working their magic on beans from local roaster Neli Coffee.
To go with the coffee, chai tea or summery granitas there's a small range of snacks – cakes, cookies and 'Box o' Brownies' fudge courtesy of local bakers.
As well as the monthly changing art for sale check out the box of gorgeous hand made works by Lisa Hepburn – notebooks, cards, earrings and bracelets made from recycled plant materials.
