Wicked Angel Cafe is a new name reflecting the new ownership of Il Espresso Cafe in Darlinghurst. We love our 15-year history, including being the launchpad for The Wood Roaster, a favourite among wood-fired coffee bean enthusiasts. Now, we are evolving and creating something fresh, while cherishing and maintaining those deep roots in the community. 

 

New owners, Lorel and Clayton, bring a unique blend of opposite perspectives (scientist and artist), and are slowly introducing a contrast of decadent, homemade desserts and healthy selections.

​

Lorel, a former scientist, is the Australian head of Right2EatHealthy, an international movement championing regenerative organic agriculture, and hopes to raise awareness of the power of our dollars and choices for improving our health and regenerating our planet.

​

Clayton was a landscaper, a security guard, and is now mastering his barista skills! He is a painter and sculptor with degrees from COFA and SCA, and believes in supporting young artists in their careers. His first exhibition was at a cafe.

​

Together, we co-write fantasy and paranormal novels as Author Lorel Clayton.

 

Come and explore the art on our walls, the books on our shelves, and relax in your home away from home, knowing every meal is crafted with love and creativity.
