This cafe is located directly opposite the T2 Tea store (a kaleidoscope of colour, aroma and gift inspiration), tastefully decorated in a fashion that would put Alannah Hill to shame.

Below: Russian Caravan Hot Chocolate - do not underestimate the size of this drink! Or in other words, don't get greedy and drink it on a full stomach after a big lunch, with desserts to follow. Served in one of those dual-layered glasses (if you look closely, the glass you touch is a separate raised layer to the glass that holds the actual drink, so you don't burn yourself on the glass), the Russian Caravan tea gives this hot chocolate a distinct bitter taste. It is a very strange sensation, but also strangely addictive.


Below: I am a self-confessed stalker of these coloured macaroons. From left to right - chocolate, pistachio and strawberry. They are absolute heaven - a perfect chewy texture inside and foamy layer outside. Perfect amalgamation of coconut and flavour - I love the pistachio in particular!


Below: Some frangipani cake - name sounds great, but do not eat it! Taste like the vomit from a baby after they have eaten some fruit derivative baby food.
