little hero

Little Hero features a small cafe as part of an organic foodstore in Pt Chev, with baked delights from the wonderful Ben Chow of former Zeitgeist fame on offer on Fridays and Saturday (get in quick: his feijoa tart is tart, delicious and to die for! his brownie is legendary, quite possibly the best in the city); Ben's hand also features on the coffee machine on those days.

As it's part of a shop, the cafe fits in a space not fully designed for the purpose; the loo is similarly slightly awkwardly located: head out the side door into the yard (summer seating), down the back (beware rain!) and back into the building.... A single loo, not disabled, is fitted into a tight space without natural light... It's clean and tidy, but doesn't aim to be more than a loo is. It's not a loo you want to sit and ponder the meaning of life on.

The handbasin offers the biggest surprise in the space, being green and of plastic... The hand soap is nice, a good domestic product (I'd be disappointed with anything else, though, since this is an organic store!). The loo roll itself is commercial, though the hand drying products are paper towels. Phew!

This loo fits firmly within the functional category, a place to visit if necessary; it does not provide a reason to visit the cafe itself.
