Rock Paper Scissors

On a sunlit corner of Unit 136/138 Rouse Street, Rock Paper Scissors hums to life at 7am, the espresso machine setting the tempo for a day that stretches from first coffee to last candle. It is the kind of neighbourhood café where faces become familiar, service feels like a warm hello, and even the four-legged friends are part of the welcome. Cosy inside and relaxed alfresco out front, it is as suited to a quick flat white as it is to a lingering catch-up.

What began as an all-day brunch and coffee favourite now eases into the evening, with dinner service every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Under Chef Chris, the kitchen leans into comfort and seasonality, preparing fresh dishes each night with the same care and easy charm that define the daytime. Think honest flavours, quality local ingredients, and plates that invite conversation rather than steal the spotlight.

There is a playful spirit to the place, true to its name — a game everyone knows, shared between friends. Regulars order “the usual”, first-timers are treated like family, and the pace suits both business chats and family gatherings.

Drop by for sunshine and a brew, stay for brunch, or return for dinner under a little more candlelight. Bring a mate, maybe the dog, and let Rock Paper Scissors decide the rest.
