Coffee shops have long been a cornerstone of communities around the world. They’re not just places to grab a quick caffeine fix; they’re vibrant social hubs where people connect & cultures blend. From the bustling streets to the quaint alleys, coffee shops play a pivotal role in the social fabric of neighborhoods. And for the atmosphere & experience as a tourist.
Vegetarian hawker stall with various home cooked meals to choose from. It’s always at least one stall offers vegan | vegetarian food at each hawker centre.
In the old days, this type of food was served from a roadside stall or a pushcart. These days, hawkers can be found in coffee shops, hawker centres & food courts. Some hawkers usually specialise in a particular cuisine, sometimes in just one dish.
I was out with friends the other night to visit on of Sydney’s many, many exciting locations to eat, drink & entertain.
I passed this one on the way to our restaurants – in the moment Iphone image.
I am always on the look for nice restaurants & coffee shops – more so than boutiques, actually. The attraction is the architecture, the decor, the menu, the food,aromas & atmosphere. It need not be expensive & exclusive either. A combination of all this makes a place interesting, nice & welcoming. Well selected staff does the trick too.

Here in Australia we have an endless number of houses built in masonry in different styles and in different colour variations. From the red, to white, dark brick as well as black. Incredibly beautiful houses from the mid-1800s, to the new modern buildings. The materials range from polished white, rough brick to a combination of modern wooden & old brick. I appreciate when one attempts to retain the old house & adds to or builds with the new. Two eras that interact is always charming.
I have not always been fond of bricks but it has slowly crept on, like falling in love, with the fabulous surroundings that influences. Especially restaurants & coffee shops around Sydney’s suburbs. Take a look & see what you think!
