I aimed at having a light lunch before having massage with my friend. Dropped by this café when I walked around in Central looking for a small coffee shop/bistro. It’s really amazing to have a small café with a total Italian decoration / design at the end of the busy wet market in Central. I immediately made up my mind to have my lunch there.The café is quite small, like a narrow corridor, which is very common in Italy. They even have an old coffee machine for making coffee.

The café is quite small, like a narrow corridor, which is very common in Italy. They even have an old coffee machine for making coffee. Though they had set lunch menu, after thinking and thinking, I ordered a Belgium waffle ($58) and a cup of cappuccino ($38).
The staff led me to sit in their attic. It looked like a small study with classy furniture and a wall with all the pictures of famous people (wall paper of cos). Having seated for a while, my coffee and waffle came.
The cappuccino was not very strong, but it’s very smooth. Even I ordered skimmed milk, which was usually thinner than whole milk, the froth still held when I finished half of the cup. Like traditional Italian café, it served with a piece of biscotti.
The waffle was very big for one person. Though the toppings were not much, with a scoop of ice-cream, a few pieces of strawberries and blueberries only, it was not bad at all. It would have been better if the ice-cream was vanilla, which could serve as a substitute of fresh cream, but this scoop of strawberry ice-cream was still good. The waffle was warm, soft and moist, with a slight taste of sweetness. The chocolate sauce on top was not too thick but it covered generously on the waffle. What I noticed was there was a little amount of maple syrup on top of the ice-cream, which added flavor and aroma to the waffle.
Worth to try if you wanna explore small café in town.
