The cafe arm of the Corduroy & Finch group located on level 1of Vivo City is a place done up very tastefully, giving a classic French cafe feel. It's dark wooden chairs and tables and comfortable sofas just beckon you to sink your butt into it and enjoy a cuppa.
It helps, too, that as you make your way into the sitting area, you have to walk past this display of pretty cupcakes topped with huge swirls of colourful icing, decadentally sinful cherry chocolate cake looking positively evil in their dark brown coat, delightful cherry crumbles, panna cottas, etc. Your brain synapses just start telling you to order everything in sight as you go to find a table for yourself!
The cafe faces the waterfront and if you want to get closer, just opt to dine al fresco. Order at the counter, pay up and your food will be brought to you. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with egg which came with salad in balsamic dressing. The bread was fresh but the sandwich was average. Nothing that I haven't eaten before. I couldn't make room for dessert but next time I'll make sure I do so. I do like the setting of the place what with it's homey feel. Magazines and newspapers are also provided to be read at your own leisure.
Great place for brunch or afternoon tea!
