A wonderfully eclectic mix of new businesses has arrived in the Glebe, filling storefronts with everything from Thai curries to curated clutter, sports therapy to midnight-hour desserts. Here’s your introductory guide to the newest members of the neighbourhood.
Big Kimmy’s Hoard House is the kind of place you enter looking for one thing and emerge an hour later clutching four others. Expect a lovingly chaotic collection of vintage goods, curiosities and the sort of objects you’d describe to friends as “very specific.” A genuine addition to the Glebe’s already strong independent retail character and thriving thrift community.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply trying to convince your body to cooperate, Physiotherapy iQ brings evidence-based rehabilitation to the Glebe. Their approach blends assessment smarts with hands-on treatment, smart care for the long game.
For everyone who has ever decided at 10pm that a warm cookie is not optional: Insomnia Cookies has arrived, and the Glebe will never be the same. Freshly baked, delivered late and non-negotiable. A public service, really.
A familiar face with a fresh identity. GoodyMart has reimagined itself as Like Butter, a name that practically hums with ease and indulgence. The rebrand signals a refined focus, and a shift to creative events and pop ups.
Thai cuisine with serious credentials. An elevated sister store to the delicious Siam Bistro in the heart of the vibrant Wellington West BIA, Lotus of Siam brings layered, aromatic cooking to the Glebe. The kind of food that rewards curiosity and makes you want to work your way through every corner of the menu. Bold flavours, regional depth, and a dining room that already feels essential.
Part bookshop, part boutique, all heart. Evermore Books is the Glebe’s dedicated romance bookstore, and yes, it is exactly as wonderful as it sounds. Whether you’re a lifelong devotee of the genre or just romance-curious, this is a place that takes love stories seriously, stocking everything from sweeping historicals to spicy contemporaries. The right book really does find the right person here.
Mindloom Collective arrives as a thoughtful addition to the Glebe’s wellness landscape. Weaving together tools and approaches for mental well-being, it’s a space that takes seriously the idea that how we feel on the inside matters just as much as how we move on the outside.
As we welcome these new members to our business community, we’re reminded of what makes The Glebe such a special place to live, work and play. We encourage you all to stop by these new establishments and show them the warm welcome our community is known for!
Welcome to the Glebe, and here’s to many successful years ahead!
