café: Leaf and Bean Emporium, Mt Hawthorn
It's an awful road for traffic, we are lucky to get into a roadside parking bay. They are there, just that traffic makes it difficult to get in and out. Then we walk, looking for coffee. This looks fine, we think, We'll try it.
But is it "hipster"?
Furniture and décor are very much mix-and-not-match. The café is busy but not crowded. Staff do not look hipster, there is just one man bun and the barista has short neat hair and glasses. Customers look like locals, rather than trend setters sipping latte between gym sessions.
Come to think of it... this could be the authentic version of a friendly, comfortable café that some hipster cafes are trying to imitate.
Our slice of cake is very nice, though the lemon icing is too harsh a contrast for the fruity cake. We push aside a small fraction of the icing and enjoy the cake, one generous size slice which satisfies the two of us.
Definitely enjoyable. The location makes it unlikely we will return. Two out of three.
