Now we all know I love a great coffee, and this place does not fail. Coffees are topped off with a cute mug and saucer reminiscent of 50s décor. Even this attention to detail plays second fiddle to the furniture. The brown leather chairs make it feel cosy. You forget the world for a few minutes and exhale. Old books are scattered around. I picked up Studies in American Literature for a laugh. You have got to love that old book smell.
Here is the entrance looking from the inside. The old building's industrial past is softened by plants and furniture making the space feel warm. It invites you in to sit down and unwind.
This chair I wanted to bottle up and take home. I sink right into it and sip on my coffee forgetting bout the world for a little while. Yes, I might need another one!
The room is softy lit with old school bulbs giving it s retro feel. At some points it looks like the walls reach to the sky, making you feel small but at the same time the room is set out so that it feels like you are in a small corner store café.
Yes Sydney, you have charm! I am impressed, and that does not come easy. By acknowledging your industrial past and celebrating it you have created a sexy and charming location. Forget the art and exhibitions, I just want a coffee! I may have to come back for their night menu with cocktails.
