Visited this Spanish cafe when Typhoon Kalmaegi decided to stop by Hong Kong and sealed our fates at 6am with holiday. What better to do than to chill at a cafe with a comforting pot of fruit tea and some scrumptious snacks?

The first time I visited was past 9pm and was packed with people. So this Typhoon day was perfect to revisit without having to wait for seats. We even got the big sofa seats for just the two of us, so we filled the table up with some yummy goodness.First up, we ordered some waffles to share. The good thing about ordering waffles is that they have the 'half portion' option. Making it possible for us to try other dishes
The brownie bits were fugdy and together with the macademia nut ice-cream, the waffles were satisfying. (Could it have been better? Perhaps, I always prefer a good waffle better over loads of topping. But the waffles were fluffy had a crunchy exterior, so not bad at all!)I love truffle anything so had to try the truffle fries. Was originally expecting truffle bits on fries instead of a truffle mayo sauce on fries but it was equally yum. These skinny fries serves the purpose and had just enough truffle sauce. I kept on expecting the truffle mayo to be very heavy, but it was surprisingly nice and light and very flavourful.
We ordered this crab meat avocado sandwich which was okay. Didn't really need all 4 slices of French bread (it was a bit on the tough and dry side) but the filling was quite enjoyable. (Well, crab meat and avocado, what could go wrong?)
Tea would not be tea unless you have some tea. We were both suckers for fruit tea and Espuma had such a nice selection of fresh fruit tea. We each order one pot which came in nice crystal pots. Both strawberry and peach teas were comforting, fragrant and sweet.
Final food verdict:- Will still try some waffles (perhaps the mochi kind that everyone's raving about)
- Truffle fries (really good for a side or a snack)
- Fruit teas (will try all of them! very perfect balance and just so comforting)
