Cafe exterior with black paintwork and yellow lettering, bags of oranges strung from walls, people seated inside next to large open window as two customers enter through the arched doorway.

Heart of Carlton

The Heart of Carlton is run by a husband and wife team who have lived in Carlton for 15 years. They opened the cafe five years ago and enjoy getting to know the people who come from near and far to enjoy their baguettes and inexpensive hot food, all made on-site by Nadeen.

On Tuesdays hear live music by Aidan, a local jazz pianist – if you're musical, you're welcome to have a play on the piano as well.
