cafe: academy / claremont

cafe: academy, claremont

this is a cafe. an ordinary -- pleasant -- cafe. nothing at all hipster about it. strangely enough it is recommended to us by the keeper of the list of hipster cafes. this cafe, he tells us, is one of his regulars.

we have been here before, many years ago. (i suspect that it may then have had a different name.) i remember the rain hammering on the clear plastic curtains that form the outside wall, some water finding its way inside. today the weather is cool but not so stormy. inside, is dry and warm.

the cafe is crowded, almost full. the noise... well, we don't notice it. certainly not too loud. perhaps the curtains soften the noise?

we are here for coffee and cake. we share and enjoy a generous-sized slice of cake. coffee & walnut which -- surprise! -- "may contain traces of nuts" :-)

i'll rate this cafe as two out of three... even though we may regularly return. it is a good choice -- when we are in this particular shopping precinct. nothing exceptional, very pleasant, nice cake and a unique connection -- the curtains -- to the outside world. worth a return visit if we are already close by.
