This end of Chapel St isn’t the nice part. The shops around here are a little grotty and to add to that feel, there’s a sex shop next door. The café doesn’t look like much from the front, but as some old bat once said, “You can’t judge a book by its cover”. Inside this café is divine, it’s like a rabbit warren. There’s a long hallway with all these little off shoot private areas where you can sit privately. Or there’s a big communal area at the front if you want to be around others. The layout is completely unique and the eclectic furniture and art only adds to this. The service was incredibly friendly, but being away in your own area can make it harder when you want anything else. But on this day, our food and drinks came out exceptionally fast. I wanted to love the coffee, just to add to the love I was hearting for this place. The coffee, however, was their low point. While it wasn’t bad, it just tasted a little metallic – I felt like I could taste the water. But still, I happily drank two cups and the flavour was okay. I’d love to return to this place for dinner, it seems like a very fun place.
AMBIENCE: Major ambience happening here. What a special little place it is. Loved the decorating and loved that our seats were isolated and we could talk about what we liked without an audience, and we did! 4.5 out of 5.
SERVICE: Exceptionally friendly, our waiter was wonderful. But lucky we didn’t need anything else as we were very isolated. 4 out of 5.
COFFEE: It was strange. The first thing I said to my friend Fiona, I could taste the water. Never had that before. It was slightly metallic, taking away from the rounded coffee flavour. Okay drop, certainly had better lately. 2.5 out of 5.
