A cafe - in the arcade - things have changed since I lived there back in the late 80's! Are there still fishmongers, West Indian food stalls and the Wazobia african wig shop? I hope you can still hear reggae wherever you go in the market. I understand Federation cafe is run by some 'flat white' peddling kiwis.
Yes, still a fishmongers, lots of colourful fruit & veg and a wig shop just outside the arcade - although I'm not sure if it is the one you remember. But also little trendy cafes, a gelato shop and a tiny gallery. I had an lovely anzac biscuit with my coffee so I think you are right about the owners!
Pleased to hear it still has that vibe. Used to have a lot of fun down there and Electric Avenue picking up the weekly supply of fruit and vege - plantains, kumara, yams and squash that weren't available everywhere else.
