Las Chicas

The verdict

Las Chicas is a typical Balaclavian's hangout – a no-fuss, no-frills cafe with an easy breezy attitude, great coffee and wholesome fare. Surrounded by antiques and collectables, their menu caters to the picky as well as the hungover, with a huge range of options that go from pumpkin soup, to carrot and date loaf with ricotta, to the Bikini Blowout benedict within a matter of stanzas.

With the heavy competition along Carlisle Street, Las Chicas offers standout coffee from Allpress and the ultimate chilled out vibe that leave locals and visitors pining for their next Bloody Mary.
