The Armchair Collective

The verdict

Homewares store and café, The Armchair Collective has become something of a destination since opening at the site of a former takeaway shop by the beach in Mona Vale. Owner Andrew Goldsmith has applied the same approach to this buzzing space as his nearby café The Boathouse (Palm Beach) with shared tables, an order-at-counter system, simple, fresh food and plenty of blooming flowers to make it all look very enticing.
