Rambling Onwards

If you're a big fan of green tea or matcha like me, you're going to love Cafe Cre Asion.

I visited Cafe Cre Asion last Tuesday - I've been waiting a good two weeks to try out this cafe. I've been excited since a friend linked me a review from I'm Still Hungry when we were trying to find a place to eat. The moment I saw the word 'matcha', I was sold - anything with green tea ticks all the boxes for me!

The place is tucked away in a hidden alley off Sydney's Alberta Street and is about a 5 minute walk from Museum Station. It's quite small - there aren't very many tables so if you go with a large group you might find it difficult to find seats. Although we were sitting on stools at a low coffee table it was still cozy, and the food and drinks made up for it.  

My friend and I ordered the Macha Green Tea Latte ($5) and the Honey Yuzu Lemonade ($5) which you can order hot or cold as we waited for a third friend.

What do you do to celebrate the end of uni final exams? Visit a trendy cafe in Surry Hills for lunch with friends of course (also it's the time to go shopping but that's not relevant here).

Devon Cafe is just a few minutes walk from Central station and is tucked up on Devonshire Street off Chalmers Street.

I've been meaning to go there for a while now, but last time I tried it didn't turn out so well. A week and a half ago I visited with some other friends, but we didn't know that the kitchen closed at 3pm and we got there at 3:30pm. The interior of the cafe was pretty hip and welcoming though, so I just ordered an Organic Chai ($4), waited for my friends and left at 4pm to eat somewhere else.

Tip of the Day: If you want food from their main menu, their kitchen closes at 3pm and they only serve coffee and pastries after the kitchen closes until closing.

But Devon Cafe didn't disappoint this time! We arrived at midday and the Cafe was already filling up so there was a short wait for us since we were a group of five. It wasn't long before we were taken to the back area where it has graffiti and fake leaf netting on their walls, which is pretty cool. They also had the menu and cutlery already laid out on the table when we sat down which was lovely as well.

Here's our food menu:
