Review from Clare L.
6/16/2011
Kahwa = Coffee in phonetic Arabic translation and this place certain has it. My first time in the establishment, so I took in the ambiance, and my first sense is that the owner loves this place! After settling my "office", I looked around and felt like a chess piece which, in this case meant it felt kinda cool.
My other observations:
- the square wooden tables, the wooden detailed chairs: all mismatching-ly matching,
- the mathematical equations running down a blackboard strip on the ceiling and the pencil art on the walls gave off an energy left behind by a lab coated genius who just made a breakthrough discovery
- the terrace in the back - so awesome!
- Coffee aroma wafting around the length of the space
Others:
- An Old Boys Meeting: a trio of 50-somethings taking in espresso and conversation
- Solo Macbookers toiling away at their work
- bicyclists making the most of the late-morning post-ride
I had a Iced Latte and using the Île sans fil so I was set. The espresso was tasty, robust, not bitter but awkward to drink from the bowl type used with a straw placed in it. I chose crispy delicious baklawa, the other desserts are all owner-made . I glanced over at the sandwiches/wraps and made a mental note to try a bit later, with their wholesome looking salad. Bonus: accepting cash, credit, debit
Another mention on the decor - love the thought put into the wood framing, and the apple crate shelving, and the service counter.
Alas decor, feeling all chess-piece like, and the allure of the hidden-gem of a terrace could not make me stay because of the hot day + lack of air conditioning. I was melting and very conscious of the rising temperature which blocked me from working, so I forwent the lunch and headed for the next new café with a cold front on my list of should try.
