WHY GO

Take the stairs for a change of scene. MUM’s NOT HOME fills an upstairs room with plants, paintings, vintage pieces and bright pockets of colour. The reason to linger is coffee with cake: an identified visitor recommends the Americano alongside rose-and-mixed-berry cheesecake, while the owners keep exploring flavours such as figs with Earl Grey and peanut butter with jelly. Choose it for a leisurely afternoon and a look around the room, with the day’s cake selection guiding your order.

OUR ORDER

Ask for an Americano and choose a slice from the day’s cheesecake selection. Rose and mixed berry is a published visitor pick; figs with Earl Grey or peanut butter and jelly are other flavours to ask about. Whole cakes listed online do not guarantee slices at the café.
