One of the things that I love about this place is the atmosphere. It is beautifully hidden among the business buildings just south of the octagon. And to tell you the truth, I would have never seen it if my friend didn't recommend it. I love how you walk inside and it opens up into such a secret artsy and modern room. The art on the walls is groovy and changes often enough. If I worked in an office, this place would be the perfect lunch time escape.
As for the food, where do I start. I have not tried everything but most of the time it is decadent. Today I had the simple muesli with fruit and yogurt.
So simple but so delicious. The dried apricots, peaches and even blueberries were abundantly sweet but the combination of coconut and pumpkin seeds added the perfect amount of nuttiness and texture. Nevertheless, I would have preferred something a little more exciting than a few pieces of mandarin and chopped apple on the top. In saying that, I did eat every last bite so I do rate it highly.
The coffee was perfect. Just the right strength, just the right temperature and the milk was silky
Due to my high love for Melbourne's cafe culture, I am quite the critic when it comes to eating out. I have been to a lot of cafes so I know the good, and I know the bad. All I can say is that this place may not thrive if it were in Melbourne, but it definitely would survive. That is a compliment!
I highly recommend this place. I'll be back.
Next time I'll try something a little more adventurous. Thank you for making my Monday morning that little bit better.
