| - At first glance if you're not looking for Cafe Med you might miss it. Also it is best not to confuse this establishment with Cafe Medina across the street. Situated on 1st Street SW in between 10th and 11th Avenue. The general area is a little sketchy but I think it adds character to the experience itself.
Quick Tip: Twist the door handle to enter or you might find yourself standing there like a fool for a few minutes until you figure that out.
I haven't been to Cafe Med in a really long time actually so I thought it was a perfect excuse to visit and see what experiences I will have this time around with the Yelp crew.
Cafe Med has a very traditional interior with its basically reddish color scheme. Low benches and seats with pillows randomly placed everywhere. There is one or two tv's if thats your ting. One thing I could do without is the extremely loud music, it was so loud at times I thought I might be at some concert, front row, totally rocking out - you know? Or perhaps in an extreme belly dancing class who knows.
I ordered a Peach Italian Soda like I always do, it is actually quite delicious! You just need to remember to really mix up the syrup or you will have espresso shots of syrup each time you sip.
For food, I ordered the BBQ Schwarma Pizza which I thought was delicious. I would like to try out all the different kinds. I like the crust and how the pizza is made as well. I did feel guilty eating it like Tiffany and Sarah Louise were secretly judging me (probably were, just kidding, care bear stare!)
We also ordered two Sheesha pipes as well, can't recall which flavors but I did enjoy them both and I thought it was cool that servers came around with fresh coals all the time. I hate changing the coals myself, feel like I'm gonna cause some kinda disturbance.
Lastly, my one suggestion for Cafe Med is pay better attention to their patrons. My friends are regulars there, I know what's up with everything and it doesn't matter who you are the level of service should be the same. Perhaps I'm spoiled with people always tending to me. Really though, when people pay separately you should keep track or else Angelo would have paid for a pipe that didn't exist. Also it would be fantastic to remember to bring back teapots with more hot water if you said you would take away them to replenish them. Aside from that I don't mind asking them again for people either. I want my friends to have a good experience as well.
Will be back of course!
