At 122b Lower Main Road, Ground Zero is Observatory's most spirited cafe, a vegetarian all-day space whose vividly painted walls, hidden rooms of antique rarities, and curated Obscure Apothecary give it an atmosphere impossible to replicate. The coffee is honest and well-prepared, and the venue represents the offbeat, community-led culture that defines the suburb at its best.
