While I'm not a fan of the often mediocre coffee and dubious "food items" to be had in our countless coffee shops that seem to be popping up like mushrooms everywhere, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with this outlet.True, the staff seemed a little inexperienced and didn't help us find a table nor did they tell us if they would serve us or if we'd have to order from the counter (these things are not "self-understood" these days... or maybe I'm just a bit old-fashioned).

True, the staff seemed a little inexperienced and didn't help us find a table nor did they tell us if they would serve us or if we'd have to order from the counter (these things are not "self-understood" these days... or maybe I'm just a bit old-fashioned). Anyway, we found the perfect seat with a splendid view of Johnston Road and ordered capuccinos and some "Churro" (a curious South American delight I've been dying to try for ages...).
I must say that the wait for our order was a bit long and I think others who came in after we did were served before us, but I suppose it was to ensure that we'd have our coffee with the "Churro", which obviously was made freshly and took a while.
Oh, and it was SO worth the wait!!!
The "Churro" was hot and crispy crunchy, coated in a delicious combination of cinnamon and sugar and accompanied by a very good coffee ice cream doused in a little caramel sauce. Absolutely addictive and wonderful.This is something I will come back for.
The coffee was good, too, and came with a cute heart-shape in the foam, but I must admit I found it hard to concentrate on the coffee while considering whether to have a second helping of the Churro or not...
Well done Coffee Academics!
