Mmm, smells nice too

Waterfront Cafe, how hard is that to remember?
It's easy to find, just a few doors down on your right as you alight from the ferry. It was recommended to us by a local but, being our cynical selves, we thought they might be an aunt or daughter or something.
Still, we went anyway and it was very bohemian, an atmosphere we like, and the coffee was good and served attractively with a silver fern motif on the foam, albeit coloured brown.
It's a lovely place to chill out and I had the all-day breakfast since I was feeling a tad peckish after the walk. Nothing special, just good honest fare and a nice atmosphere.
