Coffylosophy is situated on Hutt St Adelaide. Presently is the number one coffee venue on the Beanhunter App. Very well appointed inside, with a wall of wallpaper designed t look like books, set into the side wall, which gives you the appearance of a large library, very effective. Out side the footpath is covered over, with comfortable black tables and chairs, creating a popular alfresco area. As expected the coffee was excellent, the service friendly, with a good display of fresh, tempting dishes, cakes and pastries. We found this venue very relaxing, well worth the effort to visit.

Artisan Licensed Café Restaurant. Blackwood S.A.

This Artisan Licensed Cafe Restaurant, situated in Blackwood SA. named the winner 2016 of a number of prestigious Café Restaurant awards,  Obviously this cafe is very popular with locals. We enjoyed two, Twice Baked Cheese Soufflés, made of Gruyere, grana gadana & organic cheddar cheese , topped with free range ham, organic cream and chives. Both plates were prepared and served to perfection, leaving us with an appreciation of there popularity. The service was excellent and friendly even though the Café was almost full. Outside there is a very tidy popular alfresco area, with a pagoda, loaded with an aged grapevine, that would give shade in the summer months, making for pleasant summer dining.

The Local Crowd Cafe, The strand, Colonel Light Gardens, Adelaide

The Local Crowd Cafe is situated on the Strand, Colonel Light Gardens. This is not a high traffic area, very residential, leafy Streets, with comfortable established homes. Inside a simple decor of predominately white walls with charcoal highlights, polished wooden floors adding visual warmth. A recent addition of very colourful paintings, all for sale, have immediate impact.
The name of the cafe reflects the patronage, mid week, a cold winters day, and pleasantly busy, speaks for itself. We enjoyed a very nice ham & cheese croissant, wth two well made coffees. Abdulla the owner is a local identity, with a passion for food and coffee. We noted his attention to detail and service was excellent, along with a friendly, chatty personality, which is missing in many modern city style Cafes. For us an enjoyable visit.
