Just read it there and happy you have posted this as well so I’m able to comment.

I would pass the cafe all the time when I had my stall there and it was amazing seeing it go from lying empty to this thriving place filled with guys drinking tea.

As someone who used to spend most of my time drinking in pubs, and now an ungodly amount of time and money in Blacksheep coffee, I love the fact these dudes, who are insanely hard working, have a place to go hang out with each other.

The lack of a third space has left me longing for something similar and I love the fact you linked it back to the long history of immigrants in the area.

Big ups

Fascinating. Yeah you must have been in the heart of it. Definitely need those spaces

Why frequent Black Sheep Coffee of all places?

I used to work there when it was Route One and it holds a place in my heart. It gets great sun and I also love a matcha 🤩

Loved reading your article: so interesting and well done. (And, now I have the urge to try ginger coffee.) Congrats!!

Thank you! It makes you vibrate all over, but didn’t disrupt my sleep

Excellent article. And photographs! Good refresher, I remember the war, and the devastation and violence, but as we do, we forget the aftermath, when the dust settles and we move on to the next headline. Thank you!

Thank you! It was an amazing learning experience, only made possible by these new publishing models.
