Cute cafe situated in in the hip Kensington area. Cozy and modern on the inside and while it seems small when you get in, there is another side of the cafe just around the corner. Like any old cafe, it's self-seating and you order from from the till and are given a number. It wasn't too busy on a Friday afternoon and while there was spots on the bar, we waited a few minutes and some tables became available. I love the marble countertops and fresh flowers that are at every table.
They have a selection of pastries, coffee and, of course, a pretty good menu to choose from. I was particularly peck-ish that morning and got half of the turkey brie sandwich as well as the butternut squash soup and side salad. For it being only half a sandwich, it was a pretty decent size! It came with a cherry jam and trust me a little goes a long way. The sandwich itself was alright but it was obvious that it was prepared much earlier in the day. The butternut squash soup was delicious and I could've definitely eaten more of it and the piece of focaccia bread it came with was soft and perfectly toasted. The mixed green salad was standard and had a touch too much dressing, but overall it was fine. My girlfriend got the croque monsieur and butternut squash soup and she also agreed that the soup was delicious.
I love the ambiance of the place and seeing people either catching up with work or catching up with friends. The staff are incredibly friendly and efficient and I can definitely see myself returning in the future to grab some coffee and try out some of their tantalizing treats next time (um hello nutella croissant)!
