Walking up the hill from the station, out of the corner of my eyes I spotted a place for me to get my first dbl mac of the day. While the tables out the front looked like they were associated with some sort of rural cafe, inside was sleek and modern. A long wooden table was offset by a dark chocolate wall and a mirror. Quite nice...
The shiny metal kitchen sparkled with the look of a busy kitchen. Where as Chicken and Fishhead cafe (review http://frid.co/nuaVb0 ) is for the mums with kids, this place is for the adults. Given the popularity of this cafe, and he modern cement floored designed, the excited babble of the predominantly middle aged women drowns out most thoughts. Each table im competition with the next to talk over each other. (I now think a seat outside may have been a better option).
The coffee gets delivered and it looks good. More froth than I would prefer, but anyway you cut it, this was a dbl mac. Given the amount of crema, the bitterness was a real shock. Not quite burnt, but very close. The shots had obviously had too much time to overcook before the milk was added. Pity. The rest of the coffee was great.
Feels like a really nice cafe to get food as well, but the size of their coffee machine suggests more passion about coffee than your average hole in the wall.
