Review x The Land of Oz: Cafe Ish

A problem with procrastinating on posts is that on occasions the cafes closed before you get the chance to put them online. As I finally sat down to pen down some accompanying words for this post about Cafe Ish, a little googling to refresh my memory caused me to find out that the Surry Hills outlet of Cafe Ish has closed. But when one door closes, another window opens. Cafe Ish has opened a new outlet in the Redfern neighbourhood called The Milk Bar. If you happen to have the chance to drop by the new space, tweet/instagram us some photos, you know we love to drool at food shots!

Wee-view: Art & Angles at Orange Thimble

Author's Note: Orange Thimble is probably familiar to many, being located in the Tiong Bahru estate which houses quite a number of popular cafes. It calls itself a space where art meets cafe, whatever that means, we thought it suitably apt to curate the pictures to a mini tour of the cafe via Art & Angles 101.

Establishing shot; Welcome.

Wide shot; It's a good day for some downtime.

Long shot; Pick your bite.

Close-up shot; Sweet nothings for you?

Point-of-view shot; Some penny for your thoughts to go with your bites.

Two shot; Perfect symmetries.

Close up shot; Hope you enjoyed it, we'll see you again.

Good place to head down on quiet hours, avoid the noisy weekends if you want to wind down.
