I went here with my husband recently, thinking we'd try something new and hopefully more chill than…read morethe cafe we'd been going to often lately. So we gave this one a go, and were quite pleased with it :)
For one, this place is a LOT roomier than most of the cafes we've been to. It's got a nice open plan, with a big round table in the middle of the room for larger groups, and several smaller tables. I suppose it holds a pretty average number of people, but it's just set up nicely so it doesn't feel too crowded. It's got big windows with lots of natural light, which is super nice too.
We walked there, mostly uphill all the way, and it was pretty warm out. I start sweating buckets after 5 min in anything over 20 degrees. So we (especially me) really appreciated that they had a couple of big fans in the place :P
The decor is pretty great. My husband said it looks like a hip granny's house, which pretty much nails it. Everything is yellow, white, and green, but not like in an overwhelming way. It feels really chill and breezy. And they played cool funk music the whole time, which just added to the "hip granny" vibe.
So, on to the food and drinks, which are just a bit important, haha. We got ourselves this strawberry tart to share, and my husband got a flat white. I had 2 drinks (I'm a thirsty lady), an iced tea with lemongrass and ginger and a Belgian hot chocolate. All of it was good. I loved the tart - it was flavourful without being overly sweet. My husband enjoyed his coffee. The iced tea was a bit surprising - you usually expect it to be sweet, but it was kind of savoury almost. It threw me off at first, but once I got over my dissonance there, it was pretty good. The hot chocolate was really nice too, very chocolatey but not overly rich.
Also, the staff were nice and seemed pretty easygoing, much more than I usually see at cafes, so that was nice :)
The only downside is that, as far as I know, there's no free wi-fi. That would be great, cos really it'd be a nice place to sit down and do some work for a while (something my husband was looking forward to doing). Aside from that, we were really happy with our outing and will probably go back again :)
