Just next door to Next Stop steakhouse is a newly opened cafe called Trafique. It's a beautiful building with an eye catching yellow door. However, it doesn't give away the lovely setting inside that awaits you when you cross the threshold. The cafe is a beautiful large space. There are two floors. The lower one is for the public where you can order coffee and cake and enjoy the green space at the back. If you prefer non smoking then stay inside and get an eyeful of the interesting trinkets and ornaments placed around the space. I particularly like the traffic jam wall art piece and the display of cups and saucers. There is no real food menu at the moment but rather just a selection of cakes on offer and of course the coffee. Trafique have their own brand of coffee that is roasted on site. You might be lucky to arrive when this is in process and have your olfactory senses tantalised by the aroma wafting out the window. The cafe is themed with the name and you will see splashes of red, yellow and green throughout the cafe. They also run courses about coffee in the cafe and have meeting spaces upstairs for rent.
When I was there it was fairly quiet, only two other tables taken, and that was just after lunch. I ordered a cappuccino and the taste was rich, bitter and strong. The serving was quite small and the coffee was perhaps not as hot as I would have liked it. However, the setting certainly adds to the enjoyment of your cup of joe and provides a relaxing space to catch up on some blogging...
