You could play a game in Project Cafe where you have to guess who works there and who's there for lunch. It'd be a lot harder than you think! - We stayed here for several hours, and staff continually floated about, spending time behind the counter before grabbing a chair to chill with some food. And vice versa.
I found myself at Project Cafe because I was looking for a space with food, tea and wifi; the fundamentals of a truly productive lunch. I can't quite say I was working since I was booking a holiday with a friend, but we felt really at ease, with tea and food for the few hours that we spent here. So, I do imagine it'd be a nice little spot for a solid afternoon of nailing whatever it is you need to get done. Order yourself a nice power lunch. - You got this!
The Project Cafe is bohemian cool, and it will definitely appeal to the creative folks most. At one point, the guy who was serving behind the counter popped outside for an impromptu half hour of guitar practice, just because. So, it is a really relaxed spot, which makes for a pleasant afternoon hang out. Although, the same applies to the service; it too was super relaxed. - Nobody greeted us or showed us to a table when we arrived. We sat down for a little while before realising that you order at the counter.
I ordered the apple and celeriac soup. It had a really interesting flavour; not your average soup. Whilst it was a little thin for me, (personally I prefer thicker, blended soups) I definitely enjoyed it. There was a generous amount of seeded wholemeal bread for dipping, and a few whole nuts in the soup itself. - A quirky addition if ever I tasted one. But it worked, and definitely gave a nutty, savoury twist to the dish. Because we were there for quite some time, I also had a salad bowl a little later, with a mix of two of the salads since I couldn't choose. I have big love for anywhere that accommodates to indecisive folks like myself, who, if allowed, would have a teeny little bit of everything. So I was able to have two salads in one serving. - Topped with homemade parsnip crisps, this was a lovely little snack to tide me over till dinner.
Also, chai latte = yummy. Not syrupy or overly sweet. - Just a lovely blend of spices and chai tea with frothy steamed milk; just the way it should be.
If you're looking for wifi and lunch, and somewhere to spend the majority of the day, Project Cafe's just waiting up on Renfrew Street.
Oh, and, the CAKES! They look scrumptious. read more
