Brick+Mortar Creative - Norwood

What a interesting little placeI never really noticed this place as it is right across from the Norwood Parade mall.

Welcome to an ever evolving land of local artists uniting in one very well laid out space! Firstly - you could accidentally walk past the entrance - if you

I had heard lots of good comments about this place, mostly that it is a surprisingly good initiative hidden away below the Town Hall. It has disability access ramps, a few tables outside in the sun, lots of tables inside, it is light and airy and bright and filled with tables of stylish llocal arts and crafts to browse over. The coffee is good, definitely a cut above the ordinary coffee shop, lots of nice things to choose from, either a little something with coffee or a breakfast or lunch dish and those I saw being delivered to tables were beautifully presented and delicious looking. The atmosphere is very pleasant, lots of magazines to read, books and toys for children. It is the sort of concept that a lot of thought has gone into. I have been twice this week, recommended it to others and will definitely go back often. Totally good concept.

BRICK+MORTAR is possibly one of the best ideas I've come across in a long time!Regular readers will understand and recognise my (somewhat) over enthusiastic passion for all things South Australia, which is only overshadowed by my excitement when local SA business support OTHER local SA businesses.So it's comes as no surprise that when I discovered this studio/shop/cafe, I was immediately admitted with the concept.Brick + Mortar are located on George street in Norwood, right u see the town hall. It is comprised of a spacious retail area for independent designers, artists and craftspeople, a work space designed to inspire and nurture creative entrepreneurs. Included also is a gorgeous cafe (serving up culinary creations as delicious and delicious exciting as their surrounds) as well as plenty of space to hold workshops, events and exhibitions. Oh, and free wifi!!The venues goal is to "create a destination for local creatives to connect with the community and other businesses in the creative industries." I'd say their goal has been believed and achieved!All locals are welcomed and encouraged to apply for a presence in the retail space, for studios and offices, workshops and exhibitions, as artist change on a rolling basis. I think I've found my happy place!The decor is modern, fresh and exciting with products ranging from make up and clothing, to furniture and foodstuffs. The coffee is inspirational in itself and served in cups you need two hands to lift ..... yes!!Definitely come on down and get amongst the art - check out and exhibition or even take part in a workshop. There aren't enough good things I can say about Brick + Mortar - done and see for yourself!

I've been coming to Brick+Mortar for over 6 months and just love it. It's a combo of cafe, retail and artist hub which not only buys local but also supports locals artists through their community workshops.In all of that time, I've gotta say that I have never had a bad meal or a dodgy coffee. The staff are always super friendly and really unpretentious. Plus everything is prepared fresh on site.I often bring my 3 yo daughter here and she just loves the baby-chinos. It is VERY child friendly. They even have toys for kids to play with over by the magazine/book shelf.I also bring a lot of business partners here for meetings. It is a very flexible space and I highly recommend it.
