Take a Walk Through City Walk Arcade
The classic Australian shopping arcade takes its inspiration from the nineteenth-century elegant European shopping destinations.
Immensely popular in the capital cities, enterprising shopkeepers brought the concept to regional Australia, creating regional shopping destinations with a touch of big city luxury. City Walk Arcade is a modern interpretation of the classic arcade. It brings together a variety of retail shops, eateries, and personal and professional service providers to create a unique shopping experience right in the heart of Albury.

Sixpence Coffee
A High Country staple, Sixpence Coffee has become a vibrant addition to Albury’s coffee scene since its opening two years ago. Originally established in Bright, the expansion into Albury has allowed Sixpence to reach a broader audience, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Sixpence’s top sellers include their signature chocolate chip cookies, which are made fresh in Bright. They also have a variety of local pastries on offer.
On the coffee front, Sixpence offers a carefully curated selection of blends, with their classic Seasonal Blend blend being a crowd-pleaser for its balanced and familiar flavor. Another blend gaining traction is “Easy Days,” known for its smooth milk chocolate notes and versatile appeal.

Modern Boba
Modern Boba is a vibrant destination for bubble tea, American treats, and pop culture collectibles. Owned and operated by the Hawkins family, Bradley, mum Dawn, and the entire family have been instrumental in creating a welcoming and fun retail space that has grown substantially since first opening in 2018. Inspired by Bradley’s passion for selling trading cards and rare finds at local markets, Modern Boba has carved a unique niche by combining bubble tea – a first for the area – with a curated selection of American snacks and exclusive items.
Modern Boba is more than just a bubble tea shop; it’s a family-driven venture committed to the community. The shop offers a fun blend of drinks and snacks, from classic American sodas like root beer to customer-favourite Dippin’ Dots. Their creative “Monthly Mania” bubble tea specials keep the menu fresh and engaging for regulars and newcomers alike.
Community involvement is central to the Modern Boba mission. Recently, the team provided bubble tea for events with Headspace, supporting local youth programs. Each family member contributes, from social media to in-store support, making Modern Boba a welcoming, family-oriented stop for Albury locals seeking a little something different.

Greenstreat
Greenstreat became an instant hit from the moment its doors opened in early 2018. The popular casual dining spot is known for its menu, which is comprised of salads, burritos, soups, and smoothies, all full of bold ingredients and big flavours. There’s always something new to try, with year-round staples and seasonal offerings that highlight the best farm-fresh ingredients.
Answering the call for fresh and healthy food that’s fast, the McGrath family built on its experiences making and selling award-winning salad dressings to bring the Greenstreat concept to life. Everything is made-to-order in-store, with a commitment to helping people live a healthier, happier lifestyle.
One of the most popular salads, The Noosa makes the most of the signature poppyseed dressing – the dressing that started it all – and is such a favourite that it makes a return to the menu every summer.
You can find Greenstreat locations in Wodonga, Brisbane, and Melbourne CBD, but City Walk Arcade is where it all began!
