On Air​on April 28, 2025 at 5:56 am

It’s not often that a coffee shop is as concerned about what’s in your cup as what’s on the speakers. But that’s what sets Cremorne’s On Air – in the former Coe & Coe space – apart.

Citing a decline in club culture, founders Deyon Murphy and Francesca Poci wanted to build a community of musos (and music-lovers) outside traditional party environments. Expect a rotating line-up of DJs and in-house radio channels that showcase local talent, focusing on house and electronic music.

There’s Inglewood coffee, The Grain Emporium pastries and the same panini Coe & Coe used to serve, but in different surrounds: “a ’70s loft vibe” with blond timber bleachers.

A cosy must-order: The bestselling Freddie’s panino – chicken schnitzel, lemon-dressed rocket, Mexican lime salt and mayo on bread from Abbotsford bakery Dench.
