Superfreak is an all-day Marrickville hangout on Enmore Road from Michael Ico and Daniel Harrison (the team behind Soulmate and Splash) — the kind of café that feels like a “scene” without trying too hard. There are table-side record players, Harrison’s vinyl spinning daily, and Enmore Park right across the road when you feel like taking your plate into the sun.

The food leans stripped-back and homely, driven by Aplenty’s Michaela Johansson, with a menu that makes simple things feel weirdly exciting. Start with the oat, rye and buckwheat porridge — brown sugar, poached rhubarb, a melting knob of butter — then swing to the Scandi-style brekkie plate (jammy eggs, Comté, pickles, whipped butter and jam) or the English muffin stacked with jammy eggs, Comté and herbs. If you’re properly hungry, there’s their meatball-sub moment: pork and fennel meatballs on Fabbrica focaccia with all the right pickles.

Then there’s the room: YSG Studio’s green-gold-timber palette, shag seating, and playful art touches — including “DESTINO” by Nadia Hernández and a Wonka-esque lamp by Autumn Casey. Drinks keep pace: Single O on the machine, Artificer filter/batch brew, plus matcha, juices and a mushroom-spiked adaptogen hot choc.

On Enmore Road, Superfreak is an easy stop before (or after) a slow sit under the trees in Enmore Park.
