Opening today: A new café and retail space from the Nic & Kolo fam
Plus Luna Outdoor is back for summer, and more weekend tips.
This might be one of our fave newsletters of the year — there’s something for everyone! From our friends in the south all the way up to Mindarie, there’s a heap of fun things to check out this week.
Plus our favourite independent cinema is firing up the outdoor screen for summer; we got to highlight dozens of locally-owned Freo stores for your Christmas shopping; and we had a delightful chat with some of the Nic & Kolo crew, who’s brand new cafe and retail space opens in Applecross today.
Farewell spring, let’s go summer! (as if on cue, Monday is looking 🥵🥵🥵)
