This is
a corner café. The people I saw,
including aged couples and babies, dressed in casual and informal way. You could tell they were probably people
living in this or surrounding suburb. I
believe this was a café of this neighbourhood, a landmark and gathering place
for them. On the wall at the entrance
there posted some certificates of appreciation from various organizations and
units in Marrickville. Apparently, the café
has considerable amount of community participation!
Sitting
at a corner with my coffee, I observed the people there for a while. I liked observing their subtle yet meaningful
interaction among those friends, mother and daughter, as well as aged
couples. The café seemed to become a stage
of performance while I became a supportive audience.
Today’s
Pick:
Cappuccino:
they are using the imported Vittoria coffee beans. There was no latte art but the froth was well
made, very silky and smooth. Some cafés put
too much emphasis on the latte art, forgetting about the essence of cappuccino:
froth. To me, I would rather have
something more traditional and authentic than focusing too much on the trend or
appearance.
The
food looked nice and gourmet. I must try
it next time!!

這是一間街角咖啡店，坐在裡面，看到的是穿著得平民化的人，有老有幼，我想他們大概是小區的當地人，我想，這是屬於這小區的咖啡店。從它牆上張貼多張各地區單位致送的感謝狀，更引證這咖啡店在社區上的參與。
它的裝潢、擺設等，不會給你豪華與別緻的感覺，卻令你有一種格外親切的感覺；正是愛這樣的感覺。
點了一杯咖啡，靜靜坐在一旁，觀看店內顧客邊享用他們的食物，邊與他們的家人或朋友交流，格外有意思：朋友在說笑、小女童在媽媽的懷內發嗲、老夫婦有默契的互相分享食物… 那一刻，咖啡店成了他們的大舞台，而我，則成為一位忠實支持的觀眾，非常有趣！
今天所選：
Vittoria
的入口咖啡，味道並不算很特別，但這杯的Cappuccino奶泡造得相當出色，很滑與有質感；有時有些咖啡的Cappuccino造得像Latte，奶泡不夠，或許，因為它們都較著重拉出來的拉花好不好看，忽略了，Cappuccino著重的該是奶泡。
這兒的食物賣相相當吸引，可惜今天食得太飽，下次定要留點空位來嚐嚐！
