Pocket Full of Beans

Was looking for this place due to the beautiful photos of the waffles in zomato. Unfortunately, the owner has just recently changed (or left) and they have yet to pick themselves up again. You can’t really find the name of this restaurant from the street. I think the name is now “Thilda’s Café”.

Great location and decor. I love the grassed area and the pay it forward 'suspended' coffee movement. I love the simple atmosphere of the place, it's unpretentious and relaxed.

It's super cosy here. Inside there are seven two-seater tables. There are a couple of four seat tables outside. There are posters covering the walls and fake candles on the tables. It almost feels like you're in someone's house, with the floral plates, heart shaped spoons, and cup handles shaped like ears. There's quite a variety of coffee, and the decaf is quite good. The muffins ($4.50) are average. There's an assortment of other cakes and slices. (You can get a slice of cheesecake and a coffee for $7.50. The mixed berry cheesecake is nice, though the serving seems a bit small, but is filling enough.) The smoothies are the same price as the milkshakes ($6.50), which is rare. The value of...
