| - I had an evening consultation with someone just down the street from Kawa on a snowy winter evening. Since I arrived at my destination quite early, I popped into Kawa to see what they had to offer. Since I am not a coffee drinker, I decided to forego on their liquid refreshments and I ordered their lentil soup and cabbage rolls instead. The cost came to $17+ which I thought was a tad on the high side since I only drank water. The lentil soup tasted home made and was delicious. The two cabbage rolls were a little bland, but I liked the accompanying dollop of sour cream that came with them. Just when I was about to leave, musicians came in and started to set up their instruments. When I asked them what kind of music they played, they said jazz. An espresso bar that has the occasional live jazz band is my kind of place. Unfortunately, I had to leave, so I missed the entertainment.
The impression I had of Kawa is that it is a very clean, upbeat kind of establishment. The night I was there there were a few people sitting at tables alone, waiting for their SO's to show up and join them. It looked like a great place to meet up with your friends, have a coffee, or a glass of wine and some tasty food.
If I lived in the neighbourhood, I would be a frequent visitor here. It's a step above the usual cramped and crowded coffee houses, with more style and ambience. I am quite happy that I found this place by accident and I plan on coming back.
