Small plates will be served throughout the day, with an impressive local beer and wine list.
A chef residency (to be announced) will bring a local edge to small plate dining in the evening.
Ross said: “The kitchen space is the perfect experimental space for local chefs that don’t have their own premises. It’s great to support local talent.”
The cafe will host collaborative events that will run throughout the year.
The store officially opens in November, but a number of events are planned for the end of October.
