Hana Rosa - Paddington

Last Saturday afternoon, a good friend and I decided to visit one of our favourite Paddington shops. Feeling slightly peckish as we stepped off the bus, we dropped into a cafe that seemed to be the only one open for miles around (not an uncommon occurence in Brisbane).


It was a hot October day and we were both inordinately relieved by the shade provided. After we ordered our refreshements we ventured to look around, and was pleasantly surprised by the comfortably-sized space, furnished simply yet gracefully. The natural lighting was especially divine.

Our yoghurt cup and mango smoothie arrived at an acceptable timing. The quality was also surprisingly good, although the mango-ness of my smoothie wasn't too prominent, I guess mango season isn't in full swing yet.

I had a look around online and apparently they also serve quite good coffee. I'm more of a tea drinker myself, but coffee drinkers are welcome to provide their verdict in the comments.
