Like it.
25 July 2012.
This cafe was 1 week old when we visited. It caught my attention because of its pedigree. It is of the same kilt as Three Bags Full, Liar Liar and Apte. The coffee was excellent, as to be expected. The food was very good. The service was excellent. The ambience was excellent.
A quick phone call and we secured a booth for 5 to celebrate my mom's birthday. 4 adults and one child for an 11am brunch. Whilst there is no highchair, the booth proves to be comfortable for the baby's pram and ample space for the adults. The padded walls in the booth were great for little T to crawl and scramble joyfully about.
The entry into the cafe is smooth and we encounter no challenges wheeling the pram into place from street to seat. There are no bumps or steps, there is a clear path to get to our booth.
Coffee
We had chai, soy cappucino, latte and a moccachino. Everyone was happy.
Food
We had 1. Two birds, 2. One Stone, 3. French Toast with candied orange, and 4. Corn/Zucchini fritters with smoked salmon. The produce was fresh and flavour combinations well planned. The execution was slightly too salty and fritters were more pancake like than fritters. Having sampled from my companion's plates, I have to declare the French toast my favourite dish for the day.
Service
Enthusiastic, discrete, polite.
Ambience
The place is clean lines, bright, white, light and airy but cosy enough to talk in medium loud tones without worrying about disturbing the people at the next table.
Children Services
None to mention, however staff are friendly and the bathroom is large enough for a pram.
