While smashed avocado has well and truly had its day in the sun, at Arketa Cafe in Mermaid Waters it’s all about the hash avo, which is topped with the venue’s own house-made feta, rocket and a poached egg. Arketa Cafe has transformed the former Yuen’s Fruit & Veg into a light and bright new cafe that dishes up fresh and flavoursome fare that ranges from chilli-scrambled eggs, buttermilk pancakes topped with berry compote and vanilla bean ice-cream, to acai bowls and lunchtime bites such as a wagyu burger and a BLAT. Brisbane’s Wolff Coffee Roasters flows through the machines, keeping locals well caffeinated and happy.
