I got to our rendezvous, the recently opened cafe called The Haven, ahead of my two companions which allowed me to choose the best seats in the house next to the stove.  We toasted ourselves back to some kind of warmth there, a lovely revival on such a cold day. The atmosphere in The Haven is one of a lovely bright living room with comfortable chairs and a great array of cakes. Great music just audible in the background, and nobody shouting into their mobile.

I ordered the new latte, a flat white,  which was beautifully presented, and a piece of orange and almond cake which just fair melted in the mouth…although madly tempted by the generous slice of millionaire’s shortbread with white chocolate on top at the same time.

The poet had scones with clotted cream and jam. As you can see she only stopped long enough to allow a quick snap before devouring the lot. In fact this was her find. She had been there before enjoying the coffee and tea on tap, along with the cakes and the all day breakfast menu.

The third member of our newly formed cafe review group also arrived by bike. The cafe is ideally situated at the end of the cycle path near Hawthornvale, so easily accessible by ‘active travel’ means.

You can find out more about The Haven and see more of their photographs on Facebook.
