I want to be in this shop! It looks so cozy! Love the photos
Thank you! & yeah, it’s beautifully cosy with tons of comfort food. =)
What a warm and lovely little cafe! The chocolate and pistachio nougat cake looks delicious, was it light or dense cake? i think the cakes and cookies are from Dolcetti http://www.dolcetti.com.au/ If you like your sweets, it is an amazing place to visit.
It was more dense than light, but I’m going to try the passionfruit & yoghurt cake the next time I pop over. They’re supposed to be delicious. Oh & I thought the sweets were from Dolcetti; it’s just that Jag mentioned getting a batch from Choukette when I was there too. Time for them to add to their menu!
What a lovely place to hang out. I wish to have this type of cafes in my country!
I know what you mean, Melbourne really is one of the cafe capitals of the world!
couldn’t agree more! I used to study there in the 90s. All we did was to visit as many cafes as we can over the weekends! It’s even better now!
