Prestons is a diverse suburb nestle to the Northwest of the Crossroads Interchange for the M5 & M7. The traditional custodians of the land are the Cabrogal Clan of the Darug Nation, with the land also accessed by peoples of the Tharawal and Gandangara Nations. Today, Prestons is both a place to live and to work, with the industrial heartlands hugging the M7, including one new kid on the street – Toby’s Milkbar.
You can easily access the Prestons area from the Jedda and Bernera Rd exit off the M7 which brings you straight into the suburb. The Industrial lands hold many unexpected surprises, from the competition grade Liverpool Catholic Club Ice Rink to the myriads of gyms, martial arts trainers and coffee roasters. Make your way to Ash Road where you will find today’s destination. Surrounded by rugged industrial concrete walls, Toby’s Milk Bar has quickly become a destination in of itself.
Bold, bright and beautiful murals created by street artist Le Grizz frame and create an intentional vibe. The contrast of bright blue and yellow, cool tunes playing and spaces to sit, chill and hang out have created an immersive space to come for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For the uninitiated, Le Grizz is an abstract Surrealist based within the Mountains of the Lithgow Valley, known for his unique, captivating take on daily life.
