Two of life’s greatest loves, shopping and eating, have come together in a beautiful contemporary space in Prospect at Mekko Market & Cafe.
Open Tuesday to Friday from 8.00am-4pm, Saturdays from 8.00am until late and Sundays fom 8.00am-4pm, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as cake and coffee or grea-and-go from the salad bar. Housed in a feature full heritage listed building, it previously used to be a police station and court house. And yes, the old jail cells are still out the back which you can ask to check out.Out the front is a under cover outdoor bright and airy terrace, perfect for all year round dining.
I was kindly invited to come and enjoy a meal off the breakfast menu and after much deliberation I opted for the Eggy Benny (VO, GFO)… Poached Feather & Peck Free range pastured eggs, Kanmantoo smoked bacon, sourdough, wilted spinach, hollandaise, bacon crumb. Oh my… bacon crumb. Partnered with coffee from Adelaide coffee roaster Cirelli Coffee Roasting Co., it was a super satisfying and delicious breakfast.
For those with a sweet tooth, there is a bountiful sweets cabinet willed with gluten, dairy and refined sugar free cakes from Adelaide Hills based From the Wild, as well as the amazing range form Sweet Lola.
Once we were done eating we wandered through to the adjoining Second Hand Market rooms, the other half of the cafe. Filled with racks of great quality and amazing branded clothes, shoes and accessories, I left with some absolute bargains including a Cue Blazer for $12!! I am hiring a couple of racks myself, so am looking forward to clearing out some clothes that are taking up cupboard space! You can rent a clothing rack for a weekly rate of $69 for a single rack or $99 for a family rack, and the rental period varies from 1 week to a maximum of 4 weeks at a time to keep the stock moving and interesting for the shoppers.
Mekko Market welcomes women’s, men’s and children’s clothing that is in good, clean condition. They accept handbags, shoes and jewellery, which is locked in a glass display unit by the till for added security. For rental enquiries, simply email about availability.
