As anyone who lives near Little India knows, there is not a single decent cafe in sight. Uber-scary Coffee Time notwithstanding (ask sarah l about her CT theory and you get the gist) this place is an oasis.
Just like an oasis, it's hard to spot. It's attached to the Centre of Gravity venue and used to be a barbershop. Thankfully, they ripped out the old fluorescent lighting and kept the original building's character intact. Depression-chic is the design motif here. If you didn't look outside you'd swear you were in a dustbowl era comic book / coffee shop. Replete with carnival illustrations and photography. It wouldn't be out of place in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.There is a mini stage setup for open mic troubadours and poets.
The espressos have been good but not amazing. This is more the place I amble to on a Sunday morning when I am unable to make an espresso from shake.
