You don't even need to step into this restaurant to be amazed by the amount of retrolicious artifacts that fill up the space. The cafe's front door handles are intricately designed with a mini silver trumpet on each side and stepping inside is like jumping into a time warp back into the 60s.From vinyl records, music labels and instruments, to lamps, helmets and even a vintage hair steamer, you can tell from the shear number of collector's items that the owner of this restaurant is very passionat
From vinyl records, music labels and instruments, to lamps, helmets and even a vintage hair steamer, you can tell from the shear number of collector's items that the owner of this restaurant is very passionate about his antiques. He also mentioned to us that a customer once tried to purchased his vintage hair steamer thinking it was up for sale, but no way would an antique collector sell away his prized collections.
I ordered myself an Ice Lemon Tea ($5.50) which comes in one of those mugs that look like a honey jar. Unlike other places which serve their lemon tea with slices of lemon inside, C.A.N. Cafe chooses to throw in a whole lemon instead - cut up into quarters. While the tea was saturated enough, I felt that the lemons could be mashed up more so all that lemony-goodness can be infused into the drink.
As for the C.A.N. Beeflicious Burger ($9.90) which comes with fries, the beef patty tasted very homemade but was also rather dry. I tasted some curry powder added into the patty to give it a nice and warm flavour. But but some odd reason, it was a little fibrous too (you can see some of the fibers sticking out if you look closely at the photo). Interestingly too, the veggies they used seem to be cooked before they added it into the burger, making the texture a little sloppy.Overall, C.A.N. Cafe is a great place to kick back and slouch on one of their many comfy sofas. And did I mention that some people even come here to do their wedding shoots? Well, it's definitely a very unique cafe and whether you are into music, antiques or celebrities, I'm sure you'll be able to find something in here that catches your eye.
