Blink and you might miss the brand new Co.Lab cafe popping up in the former site of Un Caffe Bar at 1 King William St. This collaborative effort is the brainchild of Michael Proud, chef and coordinator of the Lazy Susan Lunch Club and involves 3 other young guns, Greg Grigoriou, winemaker of Delinquente Wines, Dominic Ossa, hairdresser & manager at SAD: Cafe and Nick Suggit, artist and owner of Dawn Patrol Coffee.

The cafe will be serving up new Dawn Patrol Coffee, roasted in Kangarilla, as well as a fresh, healthy lunch menu from Monday to Friday this isn’t just another foyer cafe. The boys see their short term activation of this space as a chance for collaboration with other famous and start-up food ventures – one week you might see Abbots and Kinney pastries at Co.Lab, the other week a Friday night craft beer tasting session or a sneaky Lazy Susan pop-up Sunday lunch after hours.

“This project is a first for Renew Adelaide, where we were contacted by the property owner, Anvil Capital, and leasing agent, CBRE, to activate their vacant foyer area prior to re-development,” says CEO, Lily Jacobs. “Normally it’s us pitching to secure vacant space!”

“Anvil Capital didn’t want their foyer to sit vacant for a few months and they saw Renew Adelaide as an innovative way to activate their space short term. We hope Co.Lab will inspire other property developers to see the opportunity to do the same with their buildings prior to re-development or for properties waiting to be commercially leased.”

Renew Adelaide is a not-for-profit that places creative enterprise in vacant property to help revitalise and activate Adelaide.

To help celebrate their opening week Co.Lab will be serving $1 coffees on Friday 10th April from 9am-11am. Get in quick!

Co.Lab is open Monday to Friday 7am-4pm. Stay in touch on Facebook for regular Friday night free wine and craft beer tasting events.
