We reach the cafe around 4pm. The place is packed but we still manage to find a table easily. Similary to most cafes these days, it is decorated in a wooden, black and white tone. What is different here is the 2 bicycles hanging on the wall with pictures below them. Another interesting decoration is the row of tungsten light bulbs hanging by the wall, which gives a retro look.Another thing is the row of potted herbs on the shelf high up behind the counter.

We reach the cafe around 4pm. The place is packed but we still manage to find a table easily. Similary to most cafes these days, it is decorated in a wooden, black and white tone.
What is different here is the 2 bicycles hanging on the wall with pictures below them.
Another interesting decoration is the row of tungsten light bulbs hanging by the wall, which gives a retro look.
Another thing is the row of potted herbs on the shelf high up behind the counter. Looks great but the plants look half dead, with half look already gone.
We are showed to a table in front of the counter, where we have a great view of the cakes available. Interestingly the table number is written on the side of a paper cup (Remember the number when placing order at the counter). Raw sugar is available in a cute little jar on the table.
The menu is consisted of 2 pieces of papers with barely there typed wordings on a wooden board. Sorry old already, so have some problems figuring out the wordings. As it is late afternoon, the kitchen is closed. So only drinks, starters and the food items on the counter are available. After deciding the order, just make payment at the counter. Cash, NETs and credit cards are accepted here. There is no GST or service charge.
Iced Mocha ($6.50)Served in a ball shaped glass with a scoop of ice cream on top. It looks great and tastes quite thick but more like iced chocolate. Seems to be lacking of the coffee taste. The ice cream is a bit of disappointment as there is ice chips around it. Seems that ice cream could have scooped into balls in advance which cause the growth of ice chips around the ice cream.
Root Beer Float ($5.50)Foam keeps flowing out when the drink is served. This could be due to the fact that the staff has dropped in the scoop of ice cream too fast and created the chain reaction. The staff could have make sure the foaming has stopped before serving it to us.
Earl Grey Citrus Pound ($4.50)We are surprised to find a coco powder shape on the plate. The cake is quite moist and not sweet. Nicely tasted of the tea flavour, especially at the bottom part.
Fried Calamari ($12.50)Served piping hot in a army style metal box, it is crunchy and juicy inside with a hint of curry powder (which we wish it could be stronger).
Iced water is served here but there is no staff around to refill it, which my partner ends up helping himself to the jar of water at the counter. Surprisingly the clearing of used cultery is quite efficient. The staffs have gone round asking even when one has not finished. Overall food is still not bad. Improvements need for cold drinks.
