Space is something this cafe has in spades. Tables spread like trees on a golf course across the cavernous foyer of the office building it inhabits. The decor is simple and modern: white walls, bentwood chairs and an eye-catching wooden artwork on the far wall.
There is a steady stream of lunchtime customers, many clearly regulars, given the friendly banter across the counter. One lady even gets a hug.
They have been lured from the small offices and factories that populate this part of the world for the selection of sandwiches and wraps, salads and sushi. There are also pies and sausage rolls in the warmer on the counter and an interesting selection of sweets by the till.
I order a wrap of marinated chicken and mushrooms, cheese and olive tapenade ($9.50) that comes toasted and is delicious and moist. A side serving of caesar salad ($6.50) is crunchy and tastes the part but has too much dressing. I finish off with a Vittoria coffee ($3.50) that has a thick crema, though is too tepid.
But these are small quibbles. I, too, would gravitate to this space if I worked in this neck of the woods.
