Another Place is a delightful new kink café with friendly staff and mouthwatering bagels. Many visitors rave about the Truffle Helman bagel and the Iced Peanut Butter Latte, making it a must-try! Tucked away in the middle of Victoria Street, this cozy little spot has a warm atmosphere perfect for grabbing a quick bite.

While the pastries are tempting, it’s worth noting that the café is a bit tricky for wheelchair access. The main entrance has a medium step, which can be a challenge for those with mobility issues.

The counter opens up to the street, making it super convenient to order takeaway or grab something for the outdoor terrace. There are tables and chairs set up along the main road, protected by cement blocks. If you’d like to enjoy the terrace, just keep in mind that you’ll need to navigate a step down, as they don’t have ramps or other accessibility options.

Although you can’t sit inside, and despite the terrace presenting inconvenient layouts, takeaway is always available! And if you need to use the restroom, Kings Cross Station is just a short walk away after you grab your delicious food. They do not have toilets for the public.
