Turquoise Cafe & Eatery

Indeed, the cakes on display were a feast for the eyes: the portions were huge but beautifully executed, each presented on its own glass domed tray – and that’s how they were served to the table, as I soon discovered.

Grounded

I had been sort of paying attention on my way down from South Mount Street but obviously not well enough – “or he was pulling my leg”, I thought, confirming my suspicion that, surely, there cannot be yet another great coffee shop in Rosemount?!

Clap Ka-fe

About half of the tables were taken and there was a small queue at the counter – difficult to decipher where it started or ended as the patrons here were relaxed and unrushed. Neither was I, so I took my time admiring the sweets selection, which called for attention: Japanese-inspired flavours of pastries and cakes beautifully presented and substantial in size despite their obvious Insta-appeal…

Cafe Moyo

I’m pretty sure my eyes shone when I picked up the earthenware cup – the look of the drink… gave me a very good feeling. Not as good as the first sip though – nor the subsequent ones, for that matter.
